    For those that gave me a few words when I was at a mini stumble earlier - all is OK!

    It's just gone 8pm and I have kept myself busy for the crucial couple of hours (6-8) - took some clothes back to Next, got some dinner, watched EE and just going for a bath!

    So I think I am past the wobble!

    Cheers guys.

    Great news, although maybe we could wean you off EE as well, those soaps will rot your brain :D

    Glad you're feeling better, hopefully you'll not need it but you know there's always a supportive ear/eye on here!

    I'm finally back again...think it was Nov/Dec when I last posted on this thread...surgery nurse and I decided that patches weren't right for me and I was referred to a different clinic for Champix. So it's taken 4 months :eek: to get an appointment..but I'm on my way now. And the new nurse is hot on my heels already!

    Although I only got the Champix today, the nurse has phoned me twice to see how my plan is looking. Next appt Tues 22nd.

    So I start taking Champix tomorrow morning and have to set a quit date
    between days 8 and 14.

    I will definitely be on here alot...I've got to find something to do with my hands and I can type for England!! :rotfl:

    Well done to everyone else...this is my third attempt and I'm really determined to make it work. A little tip from the nurse is feeling tired can be overcome by taking energy sweets, so I've got my stock to start me off.
