Ok, so apologies for being AWOL, not been at work for a few days and have far to much to do at home so don't get to log on (hope my boss doesn't read this :eek:)

Anyway, welcome Steve :wave: good luck with the Champix, let us know how you get on. We do have another poster called ILA that's on Champix but we've not heard from her in a while, hoping that's a good thing As I always mention, don't want to bore you all but.....take a look at the first post and go through some of the links for support and info. Keep us updated

Carla, thanks for posting seems quite a few have kicked it with the AC!

Right, sorry can't write more, I've got 2 kids trying to get my attention, I'll pop back later.

Hope everyone else is ok?

There's more nurses outside the hospital smoking than patients.

It's bizarre.

Them seeing people die of cancer would encourage them not to smoke you'd have thought.

Quite the reverse, Adz. Seeing what it does causes stress and how does a smoker's brain deal with stress? Yup, light up.

The scary thing about the Champix is having to set a date in the second week to finally wise up and stop smoking, Day 2 now and the cravings are definately reduced, I find myself just smoking from habit now:eek: gotta try and stop that and only smoke when I have a craving;)

I will let you all know how the Champix is working;) Thankfully our Hospital is taking a proactive approach to staff smoking by arranging clinics for us and giving us helpful advice and letting us talk with others in the same sinking ship:D

BTW: I'm male

Oh and 36 years old and smoking since 16:eek: I think 20 years is enough:o

Thanks again for the welcomes, fingers crossed we can all climb this mountain together;)

Hi Adz, how's it going?

Adzha

Well they pushed me till I went mental

But I saw Katey yesterday

And I'm off to my aunties tonight.

But the best bit is, I wanted a fag sooo badly, but didn't give in once.
