Day 34

Not the greatest day in the world of Champix. After Alison telling us about her headaches and generally feeling weird Kerry has got back in touch (comments on day 32) to say that she's off the pills as well. I almost feel guilty that I haven't had any real side effects at all.

On the plus side Kerry was doing pretty well and may have got enough from the Champix to go it alone now. I hope so. My mentor emailed me today to say that he's now been finished with Champix for a full week and that he's had no kickback from the Champix or sudden cravings to smoke.

Kelly also stumbled across this little smokers corner on day 32 and came back to say she's making the bold attempt to give up on day eight. I went back and checked how I was doing on day eight and it's got to be said that Kelly's braver than me. Kelly if you read from day 15 onwards it may give you some idea of how the next few days might feel. I'd love to know how you get on. You may prove just what a wimp I was when it came to actually stopping. Go for it.

Today I discovered another plus. If you type 'trying to quit smoking with Champix' in to a google search this blog is on page two of the results. tHAT'S LIKE BEING TOP OF THE CHARTS. (tHIS F***ING CAPS LOCK IS BUSTIN MY HEAD). I know that if you type 'tquittin' I'm the number one result but I also know that no-one in their right mind will ever type tquittin. Just think, back when I smoked I didn't even think about how to get ranked on google. Now I'm looking for my own site despite the fact I have it bookmarked. Maybe I do have side effects from the pills and am just so whacked that I think I don't. Guess I'll find out next week when I go for my next prescription. Not that I left it to the last minute but the pills run out on Thursday and the appointment is on Thursday. Close call or what?

To quote Kerry 'Don't give up giving up'. More tomorrow....
