well I started on the champix at the beginning of september and Im still a non smoker. I have had a couple of strong cravings in that time mainly when I have been drinking and sitting around chatting with a mate who smokes and I get an association with that person to have one but I haven't given in to the cravings. all up I got 2 scripts filled .. the first one which was a months supply cost me $32 and then another 2 months supply which also cost me $32 so all up it cost me $64 for 3 months worth of pills which is so much cheaper than if I had still been smoking all that time Towards the end I was even forgetting to take the tablets that is how much I WASN'T thinking about smokes so awesome stuff

Hi Kizzy,

My flatmate and I are both going onto champix next week.
Sounds like it really is the goods. I've tried everything...hypnosis - can't be hypnotised
acupuncture - no effect. Zyban - bad dreams.
and just about every method on offer. It's a filthy habit that I want to stop. It is affecting my health and fitness, so it's time to get serious.

Bundylad

yep.. me too.. have tried

hypnosis - cant be hypnotised
accupuncture - it hurt to much to press the little thing in my ear so I would rather have a smoke than touch it
patches - im allergic to the sticky plaster
gum - makes me hungry and it just didnt work
zyban - took it for a week.. then had to go on anti-depressant so couldnt take zyban anymore but thought seeing how I had not had a smoke for a week I decided to keep going and stopped smoking for 18 months - easy as to give up then as well
will power method - too stressful and i ate all the time and got cranky with everyone
even went to Allen Carr's Easyway clinic - it worked 2 months after I went to the clinic and got my money back haha.. gave up for 6 months then


oh.. and I had bad dreams on champix as well as the zyban... but hey big deal .. they are dreams and they stop eventually

Thanks Blondeaozichick,
I'll give it a bash and let u know how I go. Hopefully this time in a fortnight, I won't be using the filthy things.
Take care

To all of you.....this will be the best thing you have done in your life....I kid you not!

Its wonderful to hear those stories of success, this is the most terribly addictive drug around and so horribly damaging.

Keep it up you guys...tell us your stories if you are having difficulties and we will support you.

WoooHooo Blonde good for you I am so glad you stopped too Its so easy hey !!!
I too had tried everything known to man & nothing stopped me I was determined each time I think the imnportant thing with Champix Is it really is easy to do Like Blonde said it stops you even thinking about it ,,It is as if you have never smoked .
Bundy youll be fine we are here to support you but just you wait you will be amazed I had no dreams etc so everyone is different

on April 16th, I will have been a non smoker for 2yrs. I gave up reading the book, Allen Carrs - Easy Way to Stop Smoking. I had a lady tell me that she used it and i just about laughed then another lady told me she had used it too, both had been heavy smokers and had stopped for quite a while. I downloaded the book for free and I printed it off. It took me 2 nights to read it and haven't touched a cigarette since. I don't even think about it now unless someone mentions it to me. My sister also gave up reading the book, she is only 5 days behind me. The best part was that it cost me absolutely nothing to give up. I had nothing to loose by reading the book, if it didn't work, then it cost me nothing, i didn't have to use drugs or have any side effects and I didn't put on weight. It took about 2 weeks to really start breaking the habits but i didn't have cravings so it was easy. I still have a PDF of the book so if anyone wants it, just email me.

Congratulations everyone no matter how it is done, it is much better for your health!!

Kool Ralf ...I read the book I have the book I read the book while listening to the hypnosis cde while chewing nicobate gum with a patch on my arm sucking a lozenger,,, for me nothing worked for me I didnt have the will power .
but for me Champix worked so as you say which ever way you can its good
It is a wonderful feeling knowing you dont have to buy them , that I dont have to have one
kizzy

Ralf, might grab a copy of the PDF if that's ok? Will email ya my addy..

6 months non smoking still no cravings I am a farkin champian !!! anyone else ? thinkin bout it? It was too easy seriously !!!!
iVE SAVED JUST UNDER 2 GRAND !!! WOOHOO!!!!

Smoke for a poke two for a screw imagine what a carton would do..

Well done Kizzy im proud as..

I quit a few years ago and I stopped stone dead, cold turkey - I'd smoked since aged 12 ( intermittently, of course ).

I climbed the walls for what seemed like ages - it was the hardest thing I ever did - and even now it bothers me, but I've never had anything, not even a drag, and I won't, because I couldn't do it again.

I don't mind being around smokers, because that actually reinforces to me not only why I quit, but why I stay quit.

Im my case, though, I suppose not drinking is an advantage...

.... blimey .... no smoking, no drinking, no swearing, no loose women ....

.... anyone got a rope spare ????

Never smoked tobacco but I just want to say fair play to you all.

thats wonderful news my boss is on them now and he says the same thing...congrats all round
