Not a bad morning at all, although I did have a dream last night where I bought a packet of fags and in the dream I was so disgusted ay myself!

Think the old Champix is starting to mess with my dreams!

nope. I used to get those on several quit attempts, none of them using champix.

It's your brain thats messing with your dreams

Don't worry about it, it will pass......

morning all

sounds like we are all doing ok!! Has anyone got the "smokers" cough yet on a morning? I havn't and really expected to by now! My throat is really sore well actually only half of it is!! Know that sounds daft but it's true!! lol

I feel ok don't think it's cravings I'm getting now I think it's habit after eating is the worse!!!! But I'm slowly but surely getting there

Keep strong everyone LMTP xxx

Well, I've decided to try to give up the ciggies to. I realise I smoke far to much and for no reason. Waste of money, it stinks to be honest and on the odd ciggie I don't even enjoy it (though most I'm just indifferent to as it's a habbit).

I think I'll invest in some lollies or chewing gum though

And reading through part of this thread (far to much to read all the way through at work hehe) has definately given me some inspiration so thankyou.

A great decision to have made for some great reasons as well, one of the 'older' heads will be along shortly with some advice from their perspective but I would just advise taking it easy and if something works for you stick it it.

In my first few days I enjoyed telling myself that I'll not smoke this 15 minutes, this hour etc.

Finding something to do with your hands to break the habit can also be difficult but I found composing a text message which I didn't send helped me through cravings.

Hopefully you'll gain confidence the longer you're without them and that confidence in turn breeds confidence which will help your will power.

Evening everyone :hello:

Hope everything is going OK and welcome carpetbelly.

As you know i have given up a fair while now but I have had a cold and flemy chest (apologies if you are having your tea) for about 4 weeks now. Do you think it is part of the cleaning process my body is going through or have I a very bad case of man flu

Thanks
