Stop Smoking Day 50 - Saturday March 1st 2008

The last few days have been better than expected, considering I'm not taking the Champix anymore.

I am feeling some differences though, which are worth noting:
  • I am nowhere near so depressed (very good).
  • The thought of a cigarette no longer makes me feel sick (bad).
  • My bowels seem to be returning to normal (good).
  • I'm not getting vivid dreams (neither good nor bad).

So overall I'd say the effect of not taking the Champix is positive. However I must point out that I don't think I could have stopped smoking without it in the first place. It was just a case of not knowing when to stop taking it.

Saved so far £412.50

Hi Pete
I hit day 30 tomorrow and you are now day 50- well that is awesome.
I am starting to sleep, slowly- would not get carried away, and am beginning to think I am close to at least never wanting to go back.
Weekends are definately my worst. Still, it's a wonderful feeling, and the more I think about it the more I see how bloody bad for you they are.
Keep going and thanks for the inspiration. My depression at losing my greatest friend is starting to dissipate.
Regards Steve
