Finally giving up the weed
Finally giving up the weed Well after nigh on 40 years, 3 heart attacks, quad by-pass and crap lungs I have finally been persuaded thats it's time to quit. I have done so once before but slipped back, this time I'm hoping that the course of Champix tablets will help me get through it and that at the end I will be free from the addiction. I'm hoping that by doing so I will also get rid of or mitigate some of the health problems I am currently having and remove the easy excuse for the doctors to blame everything under the sun on smoking (and they can't shift the blame to weight or booze because I'm not over-weight and I don't drink lol) so now they will have to actually do some work!! It would also be nice to not find myself standing out in the wind and rain smoking, the money saved would be nice too lol. Anyway, as from tomorrow, 12th July, no more fags for me UPDATE Well it's been 11 days now, not too bad really, the cravings are easy to deal with, my appetite is huge lol so going to have to watch that!! I sleep better, and I can smell and taste the world an awful lot more than for the last 40 years, which sometimes is a mixed blessing lol. Hopefully this will continue and I will never smoke again, even now I tell myself I am a non-smoker and not an ex-smoker. I also know that the big test will be when I stop taking the tablets, but that will not be for a few weeks yet so one day at a time CyberCircle It's where I'm at |

Yes Missy, 5 weeks tomorrow, I know what you mean about wobbling, had a few bad days myself, but for once did not give in . I feel as though I could stop taking the pills now, but I'm not going to, giving it the full 12 weeks I think. I'm glad that you are still on the straight and narrow, well fag wise anyway lol. And don't forget, the mantra is...'I'm not a smoker...I'm not a smoker' CyberCircle It's where I'm at
