    Superb advise, JD!

    BTW, once you've used the R*g D*ctor please could you let me know if it really is good, DH & I are torn between hiring one of those or forking out for the a V*x.

    Thanks a lot.

    Hi guys

    Sorry for being AWOL for a while - just been soooo busy house hunting & stuff.
    Yesterday found the ideal place to move to:D - & it will leave us mortgage free as it's a major downsize from our current home - but we both loved it - just need to sell ours!!!!!!

    It has 2 garages & an outside workshop so poor OH will have 3 choices of smoking zones ;)

    Good luck to those just starting out or starting again - you can do it.
    Champix worked for me - 9 weeks of tablets have made me a confirmed non smoker. I know they don't work for everyone - but i don't think i could have done willpower alone.

    Have a great smoke free Jubilee
    Hugs
    Chrissie .xx

    had you been stoped for long? not that it matters it shows you can stop and can do it again make provisions to avoid situation when you restarted or if cant be avoided alternative ways of dealing with it

    easier said i know but you have nothing to loose and everything to gain

    I had a major strop this evening, how I managed not to have a fag I'll never know!!

    I've had 2 really crap days which culminated in me making a right balls up of tea tonight. OH came home to find me in tears! He gave me a big hug, bought me a kebab and fixed my car (which was part of the crap 2 days!)

    I felt like it would have been so easy to have one, but I just refused.

    Dead proud of myself I am!

    I just thought to myself that I have been doing so well lately. I don't have half as many cravings now. It would have been such a shame to start again now!

    Way to go Sal!

    Having a fag does not solve anything or make you feel better - I only wish it hadn't taken me 30 years to realise it!:rotfl:
