The Stop Smoking Megathread [ including Champix]

Recommended Posts

Hi all, so great to see this thread still supporting others stop smoking for me is 3 years on the 7th Nov, never ever believed I would ever be a non smoker, looking back it was tough you need to remember even if you fail this time or have a set back NEVER GIVE UP GIVING UP!!.

Always look for support on this forum read back post read journey of others

And remember giving up smoking is like thowing away your best friend they where always with you when you where happy sad lonely hungry frustrated annoyed always there ready to comfort you give you time out ........you will grieve for them but remember all that support comes at a price $$$$ and most importantly you health.

By letting them go you will find strength that you never thought you had and also control control over your choices and it will change so many things in you life.

Light and Love to you all

Trish

Glad I popped in for a read of this thread.

 

I've been stopped 6 weeks today and like others, it's been a hard week because I've really felt like a smoke at times.

I haven't though and now I will tell myself it's normal.

 

I think it might have something to do with the exertion of quitting catching up a bit. Even though it's been relatively easy with the champix, it's still taken effort and concentration.

 

I'm a bit chesty at times but no coughing and thats after smoking 20 - 30 a day for years and years. My lungs must be made like a blast furnace. :hihi:

 

Keep up the good work folks........we're all in this together. (Sounds much more appropriate a statement here then coming out of cameron's chops.)

You cope with one thing at a time Stellak. If you REALLY want to give up then go for it - being overweight doesn't cost you money or make you smell like an ashtray .

Good Luck

Hi All

 

47 days!!!!!!!! It has been a very tough couple of weeks as stopped champix at six weeks due to cardiovascular irregularites on the gym equipment.

 

The next stage has been visiting whyquit.com and now websites that show smoke related diseases - first time I have ever looked at the damage it does in the 39 years I have smoked. It really has helped motivate me and I am now aiming at '2 months' as my next milestone :-).

 

Keep strong everyone!!!!

It is a bit quiet on here. Has everyone started smoking again:hihi::hihi::hihi:

 

How is everyone doing with their quit. best thing I ever did was to give up and every day it just gets easier and easier. It will be two years come the 30th October. Still trying to get rid of the weight but at least I feel much better and calmer in myself.

Hi Rothschild,

 

Well done seven weeks is a fantastic achievement, just hang in there as it really does get easier with each day.

I'm still here .... day 38 and still a quitter. A bit suprised that week 5 so far has been the hardest of all. I thought it would get easier not harder! Keep having junkie thoughts about just one smoke :loopy: I know what that will lead to but just having a hard time fighting them off this week. I relasped on a previous quit on week 6 so maybe that's on my mind. Anyway I won't give up. Keep going everyone :):)

I am still not smoking 53 days now but without Champix.

Week 6 was my worst.

I am on annual leave sitting around getting the new boiler done so hard as bored!!!!

I have to keep reading the websites about smoking damage to keep me motivated!!!!!!

 

I have done 8 weeks and no cough still but have seen hairs (cilia) in my nostrils for the first time in years. Anyone at this stage had no clearout symptoms, cough etc?

 

Smoked 39 years!!!!

I'm at nearly three months now.

 

Ever since I stopped I've had lots of wind and my stomach making noises every time I lay down. Never had any stomach noises before I stopped, unless I was hungry, not there all the time!

 

Will this ever stop?
