mfd, I just phoned my nurse and told her what happened, she said she regards less than 10 as ok, she said one place which is bad is covered bus stations another is driving in tunnels and the worst is sucking exhausts, I always say she's clueless as she never smoked but she must know something as she has been doing the job for over ten years

:A you are such a sweetie ab :A

My nurse went rambling on about being under 10 being classed as being a probable non-smoker too but when my scores were 6 and 3 when I was smoking recently a 9 just feels like a kick in the teeth.

Got to run - sh1te kicking off at work.

Thanks AB, really appreciate that! Things were just too bad.. tried for the last two years to get it down but hardly made a dent (all my debt is over two years old, no new ones) spoke to cccs and they said it'd take nearly 15 years to pay it off and coz I had no assets etc BR was the only way forward.

Once the OR interview is over tomorrow I can start looking forward again, haven't done that in years!!

I remember being a bit concerned about o.r. interview but it was nothing, quite a young guy and a bit of humor, I think we had a cig in his office lol oh happy days

happy days indeed - we only gave up smoking in our office in April 2006 :eek:

I still have an ashtray in my desk drawer actually

Yes - less than 2 years ago we used to sit and smoke as we typed

Been on the patches now since yesterday lunchtime and it has worked really well. Not had any cravings for a fag so far and no mood swings either. Took the advice I'd been given to eat carrots, drinking OJ and relaxing hot bath. The patch were supposed to be on 24hrs but I removed it before I went to bed and applied a new on this morning. Noticed that I opened the wrong box and started on the lowest patches.:o Since they seem to work well I might be able to kick this disgusting habit a bit quicker than I thought...

Reading your posts I'm so impressed with you all. I look forward to the day when I can say I've been able to go a whole day or even a week without any nicotine.
