    Dreams are better on the champix than the Zyban.

    Also to everyone using champix (chamtix whatever it's called in US) make sure you try and change your habits too. Because champix is not a magic pill that will suddenly make you quit. You can still get cravings from things like ... for example, if you drink coffee every morning with your cigarette as the first thing you do of the day... You need to change this routine, cause when you come off champix, you can still get cravings when you have a coffee because that's the association that you have learned. You need to un learn habits and routines, and then you be majorly successful!

    Yay to everyone!!! Keep it up!

    For those of you that quit and relapsed and then quit again- good for you!!! Keep trying - you can do it! :)

    And how great that EV is also quitting - although that salt/water/cayenne detox just sounds harsh on the system! Never heard of it before...but whatever works! ;)

    cheers! keep it up!
    Thanks *dawn*!

    You words of encouragement through out have been a huge help!

    I've decided to take the plunge.... :eek:
    Ed help me...

    *vomits in nervousness and heads out for that one last happiness stick*

    Edit: Ed as in Wood...not Vedder.
    Although if EdVed wants to lend his services...who am I to disappoint? ;)

    Another few on the bandwagon...good to see. This thread is going gangbusters and it makes me feel guilty that I should be doing something **contemplates giving up beer** :eek: ...hmmm maybe not!

    Its now a BIG Team Extend Your Life.

    Those that are over the month banner have to be close to getting off the patches yeah? Dont reckon you guys need em now the way you've been going but do it properly I suppose.

    Next step in your lives is to have a reason for coming to the "Post Your Daily Workout' thread :D

    Haha...I already have a daily workout, which is part of the reason I'm quitting the smoking.
    I work part-time as a personal trainer and my boss said to me today...'you know...you help other people get healthier, then when they leave you go out and smoke. Something's wrong there."
    And he's right lol

    Mate that absolutely cracks me up. Too funny.

    Took me about 3-4 months to get all the gunk/crap off my chest when I gave up. I spewed quite a few times and Im sure it stemmed from the phlegm while I was training.

    I will be SO interested to see how you feel week after week regarding breathing, intensity etc......of any person Id be interested to see the results/changes on it would be you. Keep me informed would ya?

    For sure...I'm almost afraid to let my boss know that I'm quitting for exactly those reasons. Don't need him watching me any closer than he already does!

    Yeah exactly. You can understand the intrigue though cant ya.

    I train 3 days a week with the guys at Fitness First across the road from me. Its a good benchmark for me.

    We had christmas drinks last year and there were 2 of the girls out front smoking half the night. Was just such a weird sight after you see what they are capable of when training.

    On that note Im off for the serious stuff for an hour.

    Best of luck with the start of it mate!!!

    Do you do lines of coke while you train as well?:D

    So I'm officially only about 18 hours in and Sean brings a friend home with him, and the friend walks right into my house with a fucking cigarette in hand and Sean doesn't see why this is a problem.
    Fuck, this would bother me even if I wasn't trying to quit...I've never let ANYONE smoke in my house.

    Good Morning!!

    Sorry I haven't been around for a couple of days. I'm just checking in to see how everyone is doing.

    Good to see that most of you are still ((((cancer sticks)))) free :) .

    I have to admit that I've been really stressed the past couple of days, and did get an urge to have one :o , but didn't. Feels good that I didn't do it ;) .

    What really pisses me off is that hubby will still smoke in the car :mad: . It really feels like he could give a shit about anyone else.

    Have a great day to all of you


    ((((((((((((((((((((((love & hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))

    Welcome back my friend!

    So 47 days for some of us! Amazing!!!!

    I just looked in my bathroom and I have only 9!!!!!!!! patches left :D
