Hope you're doing OK.:j

not doing very well lasted almost a fortnight, where I had the stressful day ever and had a couple on my lunchbreak, but hoping to get back on the smokefree wagon:mad:

A fortnight is great

Try again and hopefully it will be for longer next time

Can recommend Champix really helped me and OH ive stopped smoking over 3 years and OH 8 months go see your DR good thing about Champix is it doesn't contain nicotine so from the moment you stop you stop feeding your bodies nicotine addiction.

I think to succeed you have to decide never to smoke again whatever happens, even if someone dies, you loose your job, get divorced, loose your house even loose a limb whatever happens smoking WILL NOT HELP!

Once you have decided that whatever happens you won't smoke and you accept that fact it makes the quitting process a lot easier.

You obviously still had some, or some within easy access.

Get rid! Don't have any near to you, then you can't. There are many many other ways of dealing with stress that don't carry a long-term death sentence.

Just read this: "Bruce Whyte, public health programme manager at GCPH and the report's main author, said: "Unlike male lung cancer mortality, which peaked 40 years ago and has dropped substantially since then, female lung cancer mortality rose to its present level in the early 1990s and shows no sign of a decline." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-20402129

Hi sexyshark

I just wanted to say a big congrats on stopping smoking, I stopped over a year ago now and it does get easier I promise!! The biggest help for me was the smell of other people after they've smoked, good god I thought non-smokers moaned about the smell for no reason but its seriously bad! I don't mean the just fag breath, the lingering smell on clothes etc is enough to make me nauseaous (I am pregnant mind you but even before that ewwwww )


PS. When you fall off the bandwagon it doesn't make you a smoker again, it means you just faltered a bit! Get that mental strength back and you'll be fine Good luck x

I am also trying to quit ,I have a banner on another forum I use, and it automatically adds up, for instance this morning it says 23 days 6 hrs, $260.24 saved and 854 cigs avoided. I find it an inspiration ,they don`t allow banners here.
