juliemo1202 Â Â 10 #8737 Posted March 3, 2012 Hi all, i've quit with Champix, last cigarette was on the 18th Jan 2012. One problem, when do you stop thinking about having one. I think about it daily more than once a day, and yes the cravings only last a short time, but i'm sick of thinking about it if that makes sense.

rothschild   10 #8739 Posted March 14, 2012 Hi everybody. I've not posted here for a while so here goes. It's been over 9 months for me now but I had a little wobble when I stopped the champix. I'm back on them for now and also back on track again. I just couldn't stop thinking about cigs and in the end started sneaking the odd puff here and there. I knew I had to do something about it or I'd just give in to the cravings and start smoking properly again. I spoke to my doc who immediately prescribed me another 2 months worth of champix (1 per day). I've got 3 weeks worth left to go and I'm just hoping that when they finish I'll be ok without them.  At the moment I do still think about them now and again and that really bugs me. I feel as if I shouldn't be feeling like this by now.  So in answer to your question juliemo1202..............I suppose it affects different people in different ways but for me I do unfortunately get these feelings and feel quite frustrated when I do. My husband stopped smoking over 25 years ago and he says there's times when he really feels like a fag so it might be something we just have to put up with and find ways of pushing the thoughts out of our minds.

parcher   10 #8740 Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Rothschild - I hate to upset you but nearly 3 years on and I still think about them, not in a "gimme a fag or I'll rip your head off" sort of way, more like the loss of something much loved. Right now, I just know that my cup of tea was much better when drunk outside with a ciggy in my hand.

sittingbull   10 #8742 Posted March 23, 2012 given up now for 14 months, (12/11/10) and have now weaned myself of the chewing gum, still have the cravings but find walking past a smoker does the trick, but as time has gone by the cravings are not as often, keep it up all of you.

Mr Soft   10 #8743 Posted March 23, 2012 I am into my third year of not smoking now. I never even think about smoking. I lost all desire to smoke within weeks of stopping. I knew from that point that I would never smoke again. I read the Allen Carr Easy way book which helped greatly. When I see smokers huddled outside pubs now having their fix I just feel sorry for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
