After many unsucessful tries over the years, I eventually managed to quit on 2 Feb and I have not had a puff since.
In my experience Champix helped me and made it quite a bit easier to quit, but it most certainly did not give me a desire to quit!
You already have that desire, that is why you are using Champix. What you need now is to gather enough will power to stop smoking. Champix should halp keeping the withdrawel symptoms at bay and reduce the cravings.
After 14 days on Champix, I tried to quit, gave up the idea by 11am. A few days later I tried again with the same result. I was about ready to write this whole Champix idea off for a crappy idea, but decided to give my bode and Champix a bit more time.
After using Champix for 4 weeks, I started becoming worried that if I dont quit that I would end up being addicted to both! So I tried again, and definately found it easier, and I managed to keep going: Braving and beating one craving at a time.Very quickly I started to realise that I can beat the cravings and that by itself made it easier. As I said, it had been 4 weeks now, and since week 3, I realised that the cravings are now significantly further apart and less intense. I would say, by now it is only a few (2 maybe 3 times a day) that I will suddenly realise that I would like to have a cigarette. Whenever it happens, I try not to dwell on it and try to concentrate on something else, and after only seconds or a few minutes it is all gone again. It is already becoming nice not to smoke: something I started wondering about two weeks ago.
Just dont give up!
When you actually manage to quit, please don't caca yourself by trying one puff or one cigarette.... Trust me it will not work! I've been there! More than once.
For background, I had been smoking since 1980, and for most of the time, I have been smoking in excess of 40 cigarettes per day. If you have not smoked that much, you should find it easier to quit than me.
Good luck.
