    Been smoking for 14 years. I started with standard cigs way back when a packet cost £2.00, moved onto rollies in 2001 to save some cash! health is a huge issue now and constantly in and out of hospital for allsorts of probs - even a cancer scare!

    so, it's time to make it happen.
    wish us luck........ I'm going to need it.

    Hello & welcome to Wannabe & Lilmissmagic :hello:,

    Jump aboard for the ride to your new life :D. It's hard at times & I've had 2 blips but as of now I've done 2 weeks & 1 hour :j. I very nearly succumbed to the evil nicotina (to quote Feedie) on wednesday but thanks to the brilliant guys here I managed to hang on & am still here :D. What's great is that each person comes up with a different motive or method to get you through those dark moments ( & believe me they will happen ) & just reading how much other people are willing you on just lifts you up & somehow , makes you realise that it's a group effort as well as your own & then you feel ok again :cool: .

    I wish you both the best of luck & am so glad you've joined

    Well done to everyone (good to hear you're doing well Richard)

    We will do it, we will, we will, we will :D

    Grrrr, :mad: feeling all argumentative again, keeps coming over me today & I just want to give someone a good tongue lashing so best shoot off from here & find somewhere else to vent

    Keep up the good work you fab people

    I havent gone anywhere Lulahula , just been a bit busy doing some decorating, now i have a bit of extra cash.

    I dont feel the need to come on as much now, i have quit even though i am still having cravings, i just try not to let them take over and get on with something else.

    Where has honeypie gone to i havent had chance to read through yet, i know she seemed to be struggling on the champix ?

    I havent had my tablets now for 10 days feeling o.k.

    My Stats Two weeks, five days, 23 hours, 53 minutes and 28 seconds. 399 cigarettes not smoked, saving £49.99. Life saved: 1 day, 9 hours, 15 minutes.

    Keep it up everyone, you are all doing really well :T
