Well, no surprise. Is it just me or did anyone else come up with the ridiculous assumption that the smoking cessation nurses were actually supposed to encourage and support you?
I told my nurse that I'd gone a week without cigarettes (bearing in mind i've been trying to quit since October 2006 and never making it past 3 days), well this is what she had to say;
"so? it's only a week" how sarcastic. However, its over my head, i ignored it because i was so tempted to pick up a cigarette.
well i still know you guys value my efforts!

Oh Ethan hunny don't be disheartened that daft nurse has probably never smoked in her life!!!:mad:
I think you are at the same place in your quit as i am in mine, day 8, and I'll tell you I'm damn proud of myself and so should you be!!
I too never previously got past day 3 before giving in but this time its my quit and i'm not giving again because after "just a week" I no longer smell like an ashtray , i can breath more easily and have more energy and I've saved over fifty pounds which I'll be able to spend on something I actually do like rather than being a slave to cigarettes.
So never mind the nurse its not your fault shes having a bad day ..... proud of you for not giving in and having a cig and if it helps just tell yourself you'll succeed with this quit just to spite her for being so mean
I feel quite pissed because i keep on raving about the fantastic cessation peeps and today i have heard 2 negatives :mad:
I hope that these are a minority and they get bloody sacked! they actually get paid more for their services and get time off on lovely little courses etc flipping cheeky those 2 mares!!
I had a great stop smoking service cessation pharmacist in the maida vale part of London and i couldn't fault the service x x
'Only a week?' Shove a weeks worth up her a*** and see how little she thinks it is then!
Fantastic nurse eh? NOT! Keep ur head up - this is just another challenge for you. I'm sure in a few days you will have forgotton about it. Most important thing is that during a difficult time YOU DID NOT pick up a cig. Well done! X
