Needless to say my cock is red raw and my hands are a lot hairier

I gave up smoking 9 months and 5 days ago (December 20th 2010).  After many failed attempts using various methods including gum, patches and hypnotism I finally succeeded using Champix which are the tablets you get from the doctors.  They stop the nicotine giving you that buzz in your brain.  I took the tablets for two weeks while smoking then stopped and haven't looked back since.  After the first week on the tablets you really wonder why you are smoking as you get no pleasure from it which makes stopping easy and I didn't get any cravings after stopping either.

I sometimes get the urge to have a fag but so far haven't and am determined not to give in.

Keep up the good work and remember if it doesn't work this time it might do next time.  I'm proof that you can quit as I never in a million years thought I would be able to.

i gave up on the 4th of dec last year, also used Champix which in the 2nd week made me sick as a dog whilst smoking (highly recomended tho), the 2 big plusses since quitting are sense of smell, and my stamina levels, stick with it

Cigarettes killed my Great Uncle...a crate of em fell on his head at Southampton docks,rather ironic as he never smoked in his life.

I've made it 9 days without smoking, haven't even come close yet though I've been thinking about it.

I'd like to say I'm feeling better and healthier but I'm not. Fuck knows whether it's the withdrawal, a flu type bug, allergies or what but I feel like shit. Plus my back is causing major agony, though obviously not related to the lack of smoking.

There is nothing to 'give up'! Give up poisoning yourself maybe? Give up wasting money? Give up feeling like shit? Give up killing yourself? Give up smelling disgusting? Give up wasting money? Just choose not to do it anymore - Thats what I did nearly 4 years ago.

I quit smoking 5 years ago, but am still addicted to the nicotine (Gum).
I am certainly healthier, & better off, but really need to quit the gum. I've tried patches with no success, do you think I'd be able to give this up with the Champix ?

I think feeling better is some sort of myth. Smoking or not smoking I've always felt the same. It's like the gym, people say it makes you feel good, but it does nothing for me apart from make me feel tired and sore.

This to a T. If it wasn't for that book I'd be going to buy myself 20 fags to smoke my way through a hangover today. Now I'm buying sausages, bacon and eggs. Winner.
