Day 5 is a git.

[nsd_user663_2087]

Days 1 to 4 OK.

Today, i woke up early, after a dream about having a fag.

Had to smell my fingers to make sure i hadnt had one ???

Have wanted a fag most of the morning, a "friend" offered, as he has lost his smoking buddy. We used to walk off the hospital grounds for a smoke. (im a nurse so should know better).

I am drinking gallons of coffee, but am going to Tunisia tommorrow, with no smokes, and wife who quit last year. so when i get back i will still be smoke free.

I have my appointment tonight with teh Smoking cessation nurse and the only thing that is possibly keeping me free, is the fact that i will blow in the smokerlyzer. SO SHE WILL KNOW??? and may stop my Champix :(.

Here though is what is weird!!!

I am a psych. Nurse and deal with patients with addictions etc etc etc so have treated and helped patients stop from all sorts of nasty stuff, cocaine, heroin, alcohol etc. I know all the things to say, and when to say them, i can give all the support i can, and also enable people to support themselves when they need to.

But bugger me this is not easy when its you. :cool:

Live for the moment. each hour fagless is a good hour,

Side effect, i can already hold my breath for longer

You are doing so well, and day five is an absolute bitch, I struggled there myself, but stay strong because you can pull through this.

Quitting is an extremley bumpy road with unexpected twists and turns, but well worth everything you endure in the end (I think so anyway)

Stay strong, and enjoy your holibobs,
