Thats great about your son Linda. You have been through some tough times and it looks like your both now well on the recovery road. Well done to you and son.

Skygod--i haven`t got the inhalater , but i do have loads of patches and 4mg gum.

I am trying really, really hard not to use any nrt , but i will do if need be.

I might get an inhalater.

Hi Barb - Like you I wanted to prove to the nurse I could do it so did not get the 5 mg patches even though I got a prescription. I was only on the 10 mg for 2 weeks before asking for the lower dose. When I came off the 10 mg I felt as if I was starting from scratch but I am so glad I came off them. I do have an inhalator but only use it as a safety net now. Used it a couple of times at the weekend but haven't used it since.

I have not regretted dropping the nrt method and will be chuffed to bits telling the nurse when I go in two weeks.

Good luck and let us know how you are getting on Barb.

PS I do continue to have some urges but they aren't strong any more and never feel the need to reach for a cig. It's just when I am at home at the weekends but I have come through them smoke free:D

Hi Barb - well done, I am so pleased for you and proud as punch that you have really done it this time kiddo!

I don't think you'll need those patches, gum, inhaler or anything else ever again!

You are a star, you shine ..... (and you smell a lot better these days too lol ) :D;)

Hi Jan

Can i ask , when you use the inhalater , does it make the crave go away instantly.

Glad to hear the urges arn`t strong anymore.Well done to you.

Barbara-I don't think you'll need those patches, gum, inhaler or anything else ever again! lets hope so.Doing really well today.
