Well as the title suggests today i started taking Champix tablets to help me quit smoking.

I have been smoking since i was 15 and i have tried quitting a number of times, cold turkey and nicotine patches but they didn't work.

We didn't have any cigarettes left this morning so i cooked pancakes for breaksfast and then took my first tablet. (it is recommended that you have something to eat before taking the tablets). i had my first smoke this morning about 9am ish, normally by now i would have had at least another 2 smokes. i do feel a bit of a craving but its not really bothering me i think too because i am more aware that i am trying to quit that i am trying to hold off on having another one. (you are allowed to keep smoking on the tablets and then you set a goal of quitting all together around day 8 to 14)

anyway i will keep updating how i am going everyday.
until tomorrow...:wave:

Ok so on day 2 today and still going strong. I have been pretty tired today though not sure if it is the tablets or not, they can cause drowsiness.

I have had about 7 cigarettes today which i think is quite good. No bad cravings as such.I am finding that i am getting craving after something to eat or if i'm having a coffee and particulary in the evening.

bring on day 3.......:cool:
