One whole week :)  Feeling really pleased with myself today, only having one champix in the morning so I don't feel sick at night so I feel like i'm doing some of it with pure will power - which is a miracle for me. I'm usually like a crazy women when I try to give up!
Well if I can do one week I can do another 51 weeks then i've done a year & keep going...
I've saved £54.41 in one week & would have smoked 177 cigarettes - shocking but true!

Day 6, much better than yesterday - I only took one champix today so didn't feel sick tonight. Only problem was that I had more cravings but nothing I couldn't deal with so overall quite a good day - I even had a glass of wine!! :)

Day 5, bloody awful - not because I wanted a cigarette just because I've felt sick all day & night :(  Then just before I went to bed I was sick, it's really annoying me now because i'm focusing on feeling sick more than giving up but it's not a good distraction grrrr!
I am still taking the champix but i'm thinking of only taking one tomorrow if I still feel like this.
Proud of my 5 days though :)

Day 4, it's Mothers day today & I saw 2 of my 4 children - must admit this was my worse day up to now :(  I found myself getting agitated a lot & felt like I was going to cry a couple of times...
Other times i've tried to quit, I just caved in at times like this but i'm not giving in this time - in a way it's taught me that non-smokers have stress too & they manage to get through it so I can too :)

Day 3, I was dreading today because in the past day 3 has always been a bleeder! So I was surprised that today wasn't too bad at all :) I've been avoiding people up to now but went to see my mum today then met up with a friend & went out for something to eat - she even went outside for a cigarette & I was ok & I risked a glass of wine with my meal & was ok!
Don't feel as sick today either so quite pleased with myself - 3 days & i've not killed anyone or had a breakdown...  Here's to day 4 :)

Day 2,  the champix is working - I really haven't wanted to smoke which is great...   The down side is, I've felt sick most of the day, really tired with almost no energy (or at least that's how it feels!) I've been a bit grumpy too, even though I don't have any cravings for a cigarette (strange) Too be honest I think I'd feel happier if I was just left alone, I know that sounds bad but at the moment I can cope better if I'm not around other people.
Let's hope I'm not going insane eh'!!

Day One

Really not as bad as the other times I've tried to quit :)  I think it's the habit of smoking I'm finding the hardest...  When the phone rings, after meals, having a coffee grrrrrr bloody nicotine has been in my life for so many years it's all I  know!!

But, there is no way I'm giving in - if I can go 24 hours then I can go forever :)

Champix

After taking champix for 9 days & feeling more sick everyday I'm glad to be at my quit date. I decided when I started the champix that I would stop smoking on the 10th day & that's tomorrow :)  I have smoked for nearly 34 years, i'm 47 now & started when I was 14 - worst thing I ever did...
This is my 4th & final attempt at giving up...  I tried patches & failed, cold turkey (big fail!) and nicotine inhalers.

Yes my life is stressful but smoking won't ever change that so better to be stressed & healthy than stressed & half dead eh'!

I am doing it this time, I have to as my lungs are already showing early damage due to smoking - I feel ashamed that i've done this to myself...
