Eclipse296 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Well done everyone, and good luck Gemini for tomorrow. Well I am almost three months quit now and I am down to one little white tab every other day. I am feeling good, and am losing the weight I gained as well (on a diet) x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaza Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I forgot to ask Kaza, are you still taking the Champix or did you only take the half a pack? I think it helps to take them for the 12 weeks if you can. Good luck. Hey, I only have 5 days left of Champix finishing the rest of the packet from when i stopped last time as I stopped taking them with 4 weeks to go.... stupid i wish i had just finished them the last time, I agree think it would defo help! Anyway so far so good been out all w/e drinking and and only had passing thoughts of smoking. I'm back to Scotland on Friday for a hol, which will be good too, as no way am i freezing myself by standing outside smoking We can do it this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaza Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Welcome Kaza Keep up with the determination and good luck with your quitting. You CAN do it! x Cheers still determined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini65 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Thanks Eclipse and well done to you. I started WW this Monday so am planning to do both together as still not lost the weight I put on last time and don't want to gain any more! I'm hoping I'll be too busy counting points to think about smoking! Kaza, why don't you ask your doctor for some more pills, they are obviously working so I'm sure they would give you another 12 week course, mine have.

Kaza Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi Gemini, Going to try and do it cold turkey after tablets, taking 1 tablet a day to make them last longer.... Fingers crossed still hating the smell when I walk by people in the street so hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkland Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hi Everyone, Sorry I just disaperred off the radar - I haven't kill anyone or jumped off a cliff in a fit of CHAMPIX rage I took everyones advice and cut the dose and that seemed to work. I checked with the doc and she said that was fine. I have now stopped taking them all together and am just using will power. The Champix helped me over the hump and now it's all up to me. I did have a tiny set back on St.Paddys day - I had a couple of halfs of Guiness and got tempted. I bought a pack and had 2 drags of one and threw it away and gave the pack to a friend. It had been on my mind a lot and I think that having those 2 drags was all I needed to tell me I don't want to smoke any more - phew! It's 7 weeks now - by far the longest I've been for years. I'd like to say good luck to everyone - This forum has helped so much - Thanx for starting it Jabber - I'm sure it'll continue to help many more people to come. I'll post every now and then just to let you know how I'm getting on Take care and happy quitting everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn. Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I would agree with Kirkland about the 2 drags confirming the wish to not smoke. I did the same on my first 2 days of stopping - I got to early evening and had no will power. Had a couple of drags and put it straight back out again. It tasted disgusting and it's that taste that reminds me how awful smoking is. Good luck everyone xx Last ciggie 12/1/09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parcher Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Day 14 of the pill, day 3 off the cigs. I wouldn't call it true craving but I keep getting these moments of realising there is something missing - a bit like going out wearing one slipper and one shoe - you realise something is wrong but you aren't quite sure what! To add insult to injury, Easter is here and I can't have an easter egg because I am trying to lose weight and I can't have a fag cos I have stopped. So I can't console myself against the loss of an egg with a fag or console myself with chocolate against the loss of a fag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have already done so much. I'm sure one will not hurt. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
