At 9.45am today I stubbed out my cigarette, blitzed the other 9 in the packet in the food processor and threw the ashtray and lighter in the bin!

So far so good, the world hasn't ended. Went shopping this morning and took the long way round the supermarket to avoid the fag counter.

I just feel a bit 'lost' at the moment as though something is missing but I'm not sure what.

Doesn't take much to wind me up these days ab - you should know by now that I am a stroppy cow


mmm - Cheshire but sounding like a scouser...runcorn/widnes way??

My hubby is from the Black Country (west brom originally) and he hates being called a brummie as much as me hating people saying I am from yorkshire!

You seem to be fine with the not smoking now ab - what happens when you stop with the tablets? Do you have any withdrawal from them?


Have been wondering the same about my patches - is it possible to become addicted to them???

I stopped the champix, took them for 3 weeks, then only took 1 a day for a week then stopped. they gave me a really dry mouth, nurse wasn't happy but I still go and blow the co monitor every week going tomorrow. mrs ab quit a week later and is now on 1 tab a day. 1 pill that is not 1 cig

Hi Vicky,

It's scary stuff, I was smoking from age 15 to age 31 (12 days ago lol). It's a long time isn't it?

What's your plan? When do you think you will quit?
Patches? Champix? Sheer determination? Inhalator?

Sorry to bombard you with questions!

((((HUGS)))) for you - you've taken a step already by reading all this thread and posting.

Since you've read the thread, you'll know exactly what I'm gonna say :whistle: :whistle:

Good luck, Vicky - and the good thing about this thread is that there's just about always someone here for a rant/support/chat/whatever
