stopping smoking

[Peter Pan]

day 3 and all is well - mum has finally given them up too - to day is her 2nd day without (so she tells me, but dad said she had a sly puff last night). my sister, however is still smoking tho. i went up there this morning for summit and she was puffing away......and it didnt even bother me one bit. oddly enough i havent had any cravings for them either, which im thankful for. my sis and mum are suffering with one of the side effects tho, which is not getting a good night sleep. im not getting anything - so im winning which ever way you look at it.

so pleased for you hun...fingers will keep crossed....does it make you so you dont crave the *** anymore then? or just not have alot of **** for a couple days? sounds a bit like zyban....you take 2 tabs for the first 2 weeks then 1 ...maybe the other way round.!!

you smoke normal for the 1st week, then you choose a day to pack in - during the 2nd week - you dont get any cravings or anything - when i started this, i didnt actually think it would work, so i was giving it a try to see what would happen - i wasnt really bothered whether it worked or not to tell the truth - but it has, and im over the moon

Well done Glynis, keep going.

Im on my third day on champix,im not really sure what i think at the minute i had 4 **** yesterday {i only smoke about 7/8 anyway per day}.
What iv noticed is my mouth taste like crap and i had a stinker of a headache last night just after my forth *** so i dont know if it was down to tabs or not.
Anyway got up this morning had a cupa then had a *** had another cupa n a *** and had my tablet as you take the same time every day if possible.
I dont have a craving at the minute so gon about 2 hrs without thinking i want one.
Gona sit here now and do my homework, oh yes iv been to the tolet a little more so to speak!

Youve done great Glyniss well done keep it up,what do i do when iv finnished my packet has iv not been told what to do?

Good luck everyone whos gona do it xx

 

[paulette]

Are these tablets or patches ?? Never heard of it.

I gave up earlier in the year, but with all the crap in my life, started smoking again 3 months ago.

I went to a smoking cesstation clinic run by the NHS, but they only gave patches and gum.....

Do you find that it works for you ? Does it actually do what it says on the tin ?


Marlise

I did exactly that also with patches and gave up for about 2 months but then after a nite out and boyf still smoked I started up again, im curious also about this.

hahaa - i answered this in your thread about champix, then seen it again here, your headache is a side affect flower, thankfully i havent had ANY side affects what so ever.

anyways - when you finished your packet of champix go back to the clinic, they will ask you how youve done etc, then get you to blow into a little gadget, to measure the carbon minoxide in your lungs, when i went back after being 1 week smoke free, my reading was 0.

good luck flower:hug:

 

[sj1973]

well done glynis...you should be soooo proud of yourself.....you can all do it and you will xx:hug:

 

[Marlise]

Went to see my doc the other night about Champix and he wouldn't give it to me

Not for any health reasons etc, but he said I gave you Zyban when you asked for it and you weren't committed enough, so I won't give you Champix !!! WTF ????

Will try and track down a smoking clinic and see if they will be willing to give it to me.
