4 weeks smoke free

Today I saw my nurse and was awarded a certificate for being 4 weeks smoke free. I now don't have to see the nurse for another 2 months - so after the initial 4 weeks the pressure is off. This could be dangerous!

It has been a week since I decided to stop taking the Champix - and it has been increasingly difficult. I have had the occasional puff on a cigarette - which disappointed me but seemed so absolutely necessary at the time. I am going to keep at it as I don't want to go back to where I was 4 weeks ago - and have set myself a new goal to aim towards to help me have a focus ... I am due to go away for a few days for a hen do in May and I intend to be completely smoke free by then.

Going it alone is certainly challenging - and it does feel like a very lonely place to be now that my support network has gone - but I'll keep going as best as I can!

Please feel free to share your experiences!!

Keep up the good work everyone!

  1. Hi,

    You have good traffic and contents. If you want to monetize your blog traffic by redirecting them to an UK based online clinic which helps the patients if quitting smoking by offering them genuine and branded treatments like Champix.

  2. I started Champix 2 weeks ago and stopped smoking yesterday, I have an appointment with the nurse this afternoon. My initial reading was 21, so I am hoping this has gone down today. I am ok at the moment but keep getting the odd thought of a cigarette but I think this is due to boredum rather than actually needing/wanting one. I will let you know how I get on. Keep up the good work.
