    Hi Guys

    can't keep up with this board it is so busy - but hey that is a good thing - nearly teatime Day 3 - had a moment earlier today when something went wrong and I thought I want a f*g but then remembered I don't smoke!! LOL Lasted all of a few minutes..

    Doing OK - perhaps I should have said I am using NRT the lozenges - I used these when I quit before and they worked until I was stupid enough to have a fag last Xmas!! - not even a puff from now on - cos I'll be hooked again.

    I find the lozenges really good - only use about 8 a day - even to start with then cut down over a couple of weeks - hopefully by end of month nothing - same as last time - they do make me fart though - so be warned if you are considering them - you might not stink of fags anymore, but boy you might of something else!! LOL what is a month of flatulence between friends I ask? - although most of you would at the moment be glad we are on line and not in the same room!!

    I say anything that works and the reason I use the lozenges - is the FIRST thing in the morning bit - literally whollop one in as soon as you get up - they dissolve really slowly in the side of your mouth - mine seem to last an hour at least - it took me a month on them last year.

    If it works for you - it works - anything is better than smoking and NRT is temporary and doesn't kill you.

    Having a good day - BTW 4 lozenges today and *??* farts - it sure is in double figures!!

    I do have internet access at home, but then I'm on mse and you can PM me. At work it's quicker to contact me on my email address. If I'm busy I don't get to look at mse (inconsiderate bosses or what?!!!) heh heh

    Leaving now. Catch you in a bit at home. x
