Work out what you've saved so far. Go on to Amazon or ebay and do a bit of window shopping.

And me I want one too. I went to the shop earlier to buy some birthday cards, i swear the little blue packs were dancing and shouting buy me buy me.. but I didnt.

well it will be day 1 for me tomorrow. Day 9 on Champix. DS has been really sick overnight, so my crutch has been keeping me awake today. Can't sleep until the wee man is.

Roll on tomorrow and I look forward to the challenge.

God I'm such a liar, I so want to stop smoking, but so don't want this challenge lol

Im on day 6 and today has hit me really hard. Started a new job today where everyone smokes

I want one so much I think I could actually cry about it, thats not right is it.

Cheers helenearth & all of you.

I got the doc on the phone & we agreed that I would cut tablets in half and give that a go until I see her Friday.

I am stressed out but anybody would be with what is going on for me at the moment - I think.
I just have to try & manage the stress & look at ways of handling that.
After a while of little sleep I get fraught & that feeds into the stress - vicious cycle stuff. I am not too bad on the half tablet so far & not feeling any strong cravings for a fag - just hope I can sleep tonight for more than a couple of hours.

Hope you all stay smoke free & try & banish those cravings.

Me too, just been for some petrol and was practically drooling looking at the display of fags - usually do that over the chocolate - but
.....
DIDN'T BUY THEM - I'M WINNING:j

Last time I tried to stop I cried one night and I gave in and started again.

This time I cried on about the 5th day but didn't give in and it got easier. I did it agian 2 nights ago, sobbed like a baby. I don't know if it is normal or not but you are not alone.

I have tried to stop a few times, two years ago i tried with the help of zyban. on day 8 i began to swell up all over and had a nettle rash everywhere inc the soles of my feet!!! i reached for the cigs and ditched the zyban..

This time i have the nicorette minis, i must say they really help with the actual cravings, its just the mental thing I have to get over. I stopped two weeks ago for 6 days. Then i had two cigs. I stopped another 6 days then had another two. then another the next day and so it went on until last night. I rinsed what cigs were in the hosue under the tap and scrunched them up. Iv not had any today.
On my weak days, it wasnt even cravings I dont know what made me buy some. no one was smoking near me, no one smokes at work.. I just missed them. But im back to 1 day without a cig. Tomorrow will be 2...

Thanks, Im ok now. Its been one of those days where I have really really wanted one but saying that I could have got off my bum to walk to the shop and buy some if I really wanted it but I didnt so I figure I didnt want one that much!
