Day 11

Well the sickness is taking over a bit today so I'm feeling sorry for myself - but I know it's for the greater good so am living with it!

It's almost 1pm - I have been awake since about 7:30am and haven't smoked at all yet today. Had a slight urge earlier as my fiance was smoking outside - but when I got a whiff or his cig it made me wretch so that put me straight off!

The Champix is definitely in my system now and doing it's thing and as much as the sickness is awful - the achievement of avoiding the cigs is a great feeling. I have suffered a few headaches over the past few days but have been taking the occasional pain killer and that has helped - my doctor said that the Champix has no effect on other medications so I am fine to take things if I need to.

My sleep is still affected and my dreams have become very vivid. My sleep has also become very light and I am woken easily by the slightest thing - not the greatest when your fella is a snorer!

Giving up smoking is certainly no easy task and I have great support and admiration for anyone that has already stopped or is in the process of doing so.

It will all be worth it so keep it up!
