Champix Days 9-10 - First battles with Nasty Nic

Just when I thought that the Champix had kicked in by day 8, along came day 9, and got me all confused. I was craving a cig in the morning, and basically I found it tough all day. I cut down but still smoked 9 cigs, compared to the 6 on day 8. Felt disappointed that I still had the cravings, so I'm beginning to doubt if the Champix is working. Perhaps I need to give it a bit longer...

So, today I pretty much felt the same as yesterday, day 9, apart from the same disappointed feeling after I smoked the first one this morning. BUT, I'm determined to give up, so I've pushed on through the day, trying to stretch it out before my next one. 

I've had to battle Nasty Nic quite a few times today - I didn't realise how powerful he is. He has a way of messing with your head just when you weren't thinking about a smoke!

I'm not going to say I've quit just yet - after all, I did have one ciggie this morning. One day at a time .... I'm off for an early night tonight to work out what I'll need in my arsenal, and to make sure I have a full complement of ammunition.

For tomorrow, I'm going to declare war ...
