MrsHobbit oh my! how good is that and how are you? tell me about your benefits hows your breathing and getting about im hoping for a biggish improvement,of which i have noticed already in the mornings when i first wake,used to dread a bit, was always a struggle much improved.So many congrats to you 11 mths is awesome 
thankyou Janexx,.
Hi Jane, I smoked between 20 - 30 per day, I smoked at least 7 in the first hour, the first one of the day was the hardest to get passed, but I really took a look at my COPD and how this was gonna take grip of me.
I bit the bullet and said " I am not gonna have one the now" and from that day to this I live with this rule. I havent stopped just " not having one the now " lol
Don't deprive cause you always want what you cant have lol
You can do it, it gets easier every day, more money smell better, and your lungs will enjoy it lol
take care

Hello Jacky nice to meet you,what a good way of approaching it i might have to be saying that myself if you dont mind?Already my nose is like an elephants trunk. I have to say that so far everything has been positive apart from the nightmares with the patches .So cant complain ,cant wait till i too have more time under my belt,you are doing brilliantly iwill be keeping you in my sights.Janexx
Hi Jane, I too had a lot of problems with the patches, sore red patches think i was allergic to them, so after about 2 weeks i couldn't stand it any more, and went cold turkey.
Please do use it if it works for you, on the 18th of Oct will be my year date, didn't think i could do it but, i have had a very supportive family and friends.
Go for it Jane, you can do it.
Jacky x
Big congrats to Mrs Hobbit as well!' xxx

Thats funny you should say that,ihave a tale about smouldering Jane another day praps haha and you were joking:)iam determined Max so thanx.Janexx
longlungs,hears a tip you are not a dirty stick no more,this week will be the test for you,get through this week and your home free,bernicex
Well done and congratulations on becoming a Non Smoker. After a week the nicotine should be out of your system (unless you are taking it by another route 
). As someone has said the craving only lasts for seconds - find something else to take your mind off and it will pass.
Think of all the gains! You smell better, breathe easier and your wallet or purse is fatter. What are the losses? I can't think of any, can you?
All the best
John
Hello John iam on the patches and the nicorette inhalator so i guess im not nicotine free in that sense? Having said that i have noyiced that my sense of smell is much like an elephants trunk at the mo,and i do fancy that already my breathing is a little better which makes me feel just great.thanx for taking the time to reply it really does help me so much. Janexx

Two years ibet your buzzing with your success im the same everyone thought id smoke all the way to my grave,they are made up for me so far and fairly reserved not sure how to deal with me not wanting to rock the boat.the biggest thing to me is for my eldest son who im happy to say ahas now been such a different person, he knows my addiction was all powerful to me and that has stopped and he has reacted accordingly so good to be able to have conversations normally without him getting so uptight with me.To lead by example isuch a true statement. thankyou mahunamoon I willllllllllllll Janexx
