I need help but am unsure how to use this site. So point me in the right direction if I am missing the point. I am using Champix on day 10 & feeling dreadful. Disturbed sleep, bad dreams falling out with my husband. Initially I was doing really well and feeling positive. Over recent days my mood has changed for the worse & things seem really difficult. BUT...... I am not for giving in. I know it gets better, eventually, as I stopped for six months about three years ago. But now wondering whether to miss tonight's tablet! My GP did say that I must stop taking if I felt depressed. But I have just spent 143 euros for a months supply and am only on day three. I really wanted to have every bit of support I could. So, I need to reassess my programme. But I am not for stopping, stopping. As I say I need help. I smoked 20 a day for fifty years. I am not going to solve this problem overnight.
Thanks to all who have replied, it was great to see this support just before bedtime last night. I have misplaced the Champix so if not found before lunch today I continue without. Today I will definitely be spending more time on here following the advice you have given. My first target is to keep focused on the positives & kick the negative into touch. Thanks folks!
Start of week three! How great is that? I am so happy to be able to say this. Today I feel more confident about my ability to succeed in my quest to be smoke free forever. So glad to have last week over with & if I'm not mistaken it will be a little easier this week.
I will not let myself down
Thanks Jim & Ashley, your encouragement is really helping. It's still a struggle but I know that my mental energy needs to go into this quest. So yes doing good !
Hi there Working on it,
but get it right! Tomorrow is day twenty one!! Thanks for your support. It really does mean a lot. Yes I am really pleased. Yet it is one day at a time. I have treated myself to two house plants today. One of which is a Pitcher Plant!,, I never felt I should spend so much on a gruesome looking house plant before. However, today I thought it was quite significant, a reminder of Alan Carr. Very appropriate for me now. So yes doing very well.
I expect you are back from your trip by now and ,trust you enjoyed your freedom. I have only just read your post and it really rings a bell with me. Not smoking when away from home on ferries or planes will be so much more enjoyable.
Hi lolly,
I love that you say freedom , as that's right! I feel free to choose. I choose to say no right now & this feeling is good. I have to visit UK. This week for a funeral. Usually a situation where one says oh, this is too stressful I will stop smoking afterwards. From experience I know, me smoking will not change anything apart from me feeling worse. No this week another challenge. I will deal with this without resorting to smoking. Watch this space.
Thanks lolly
Love Viv
