Well following a house move and no access to internet and the support of this site and trying to go cold turkey to early I failed my quit after two weeks.
I'm now confused as to whether all the variables in my life that were changing were to blame or the fact that I just didn't want it enough when it came down to it. Now im a bit concerned that if i try again it will be another wasted opportunity.
Im disappointed that Im back to the bargaining with myself stage and that I'm considering holding off quitting till after my thirtieth birthday celebrations in a few weeks.
However, I went back into the doctors yesterday and got another champix starter pack which i started yesterday. I also have my house move out the way and have convinced my best friend (who it wasnt easy being around smoking) to quit with me this time. Gonna have a kind of competition i think which will help.
I'm having to go to the library to check email until my internet in my new flat is installed so wont be on the board much to begin with but hope all that were doing so well last time I was on are still on track,
cheers,
Bman

Sorry you failed after 2 weeks but it happens sometimes but well done starting again
I agree with Chrissie about this if you didn't want to quit you wouldn't have gone back to the Drs and got more champix or started to take it already
You'll have learnt from that mistake I'm sure also your best friend quitting with you should be a huge help to you especially as you sat you think it will be a competition between you
Keep in touch as much as you can and remember we're all here for you whenever you need us for whatever reason
Heyyyy glad to see you back. Shame about your relapse but we've all been there and had one or a million so don't beat yourself up about it just try try and try again. You should hurry up and get internet at home, I dunno what I'd do without the net :S Actually I relapsed once before when my ISP was having problems and I couldn't get on here and drove myself to distraction :rolleyes:
Having your friend with you will help a lot. I'm doing it with my sister and it really does make you more determined. You can't be the first one to fail
Think of all the money you will have to spend on your new house And this house wont stink of smoke
well i got internet! blimey - you really don't realise how much you rely on something sometimes until its taken away. guess that goes for the smoking as well eh?!
well day 4 of the champix and not going to rush anything this time. Last time I quit smoking on day 4 of Champix and then stopped taking them by day 10. this time im gonna do it properly, so still smoking but doing the mental preperation that is so important and building up to do it in a few days as you are supposed to.
lol - typical man - only reads the manual once he realises he cant get it to work by himself!!
Thanks for all your support everyone. Good to be back!
Always try again love, because one time it will work. I tried champix and for 2yrs I didn't have any, it works. I think that all who try quitting and fail either think it was stress we are going through or was it just that I really didn't want to do it, but I'm 50yrs old and I'm still trying I'll do those 2yrs again and longer I know. Keep in touch and we can help each other if you want that is. Good luck.
