Stop Smoking Day 87 - Monday April 7th 2008

Still here and still not smoking. Hope everyone else is doing well too.

I went to the doctors today to get some more “happy pills”. I told him I felt better but that I still couldn’t be bothered to do anything. He said that was normal and he would expect things to improve over the next 4 weeks, and after another 4 weeks for things to be “as good as they’re going to get”.

I asked about coming off Champix too, as I’ve been on it now since 1st January. He asked if I felt confident that I could keep off the fags. I said that I was pretty sure I’d be OK, so I’m stopping the Champix from today. I’ve still got 6 days of Champix left though, just in case things go awry. I know how I reacted last time I stopped taking it, so I’ll be very wary.

You can never be totally sure of anything, but I’m as sure as I can be that I won’t smoke again. Of course, you never know what lies ahead in this life and anything could happen to trigger it off again. But, like I said, I’m as confident as possible that it won’t happen.
