I just need to keep telling people - and myself!
Four and a half days smoke free.
I really don't feel like a cigarette at all. I just can't believe it.
I felt a bit sick the other day, but I hadn't had time to eat in the
morning, so I think that's why.
I'm finding it a bit difficult to get to sleep. Last night it took me 3
hours. But I read a book.
I've swapped smoking for reading!

Digger that is superb news! I hope you keep going.
I quit with Champix and I was amazed that I didn;t want one so soon after starting Champix. I had a lil sleep trouble too but I just watched movies, read books and actually got a lot done in the night!
Best of luck mate, keep us posted.
Houghton.

Hey well done Digger, that is so cool!
It so great that pharmaceuticals can really help in this way, with such a
horrible addiction. You've got to be really proud of yourself, and happy
that you started the course!

Hey digger, well done,are you finding it easy? I'm on 4th day of smoke free now. Unlike you though I've swapped smoking for eating, put on 7lb already! Looks like I'll be spending that money saved on a gym membership!
I feel really sick in the morning too if I dont eat breakfast, shame that, its not helping my weight gain issue, a protein shake wont do, it has to be proper food - and plenty of it!

Hi Jo kat
I haven't had any problems eating - it hasn't made much difference.
But I'm a man of routine, and my wife and her cooking regulates my
meal times. I do feel restless, but now that I'm trying to get fit - even
at my ripe old age - I find that's helping me be less fidgety.
I went on a bicycle this weekend for the first time in years!
But youve got to eat when you take it or you will feel sick.
I hope somehow you manage to control the eating the rest of the day.

I took champix for 2 weeks before I stubbed out my last fag. Others have
stopped smoking sooner and caved in. I left it until the last minute
possible so that I had no excuses for having a fag. That worked for me.

alright!
so tell me some more about this champix? how does it work? how do you get it and does it have to be given by dr?
how long do you take it for?
i not sure i need it and dont think i wanna go to the docs for it, they always moan at me smoking anyway!
im doing ok so far, had a bad day but over that. Not had any fags now since then! so everytime i feel like i need a fag, i drink water or try and do something else!
what other tips do peeps have?

hey there
hows the no smokinggoing digger?
im on day 16 and doing ok so far. i had a couple of blips and gave in and smoked but felt so sick afterwards that it put me off!
i still got sick feelings but not as bad as it was, hoping it will go soon and then i can start to feel better!
my kids are so pleased i stopped too, theres nothing like seeing them smile when they give you a cuddle now instead of holding their noses cos you smell of smoke!
