Change of name and method.......

[nsd_user663_4785]

Hi guys

Bet you thought I was standing in some doorway having a crafty fag as I haven't been around for a few days and when I last was I was gagging on a fag.

Well I am still fag free and am now on day 23, so getting nearer my Month

As for my change of name and method............well I am changing my name to CTC (cold turkey caz) (well actually chrissie renamed me) and the reason being I have also changed my method and am no longer taking champix.

I had only been taking them for 5 weeks but developed problems towards the end of the week when I started to feel quite down. Though it was just the normal stopping blues but by Friday night I was so far down it was starting to scare me. I don't want to frighten anyone as everyone is different and everyone reacts differently to different drugs but I was taken off champix by the doc due to my state of mind and thankfully today am feeling much more like my old self.

Anyway I am staying with my quit and refuse to give in.

Got to go as I Gene Genie has just started and I promised Chrissie a dance.

Cmon chrissie I told you I would be back to dance with you get those hips moving girl

Love

CTC xxxx

Hello CTC

I am also lovin the new name and attitude.

I think you are right for posting your problems and that everyone is different, but anyone who has the same issues as you now knows what to do, you have been very brave.

Day 23 is fantastic and i am working hard at getting there (again) myself.

Hope you enjoy your dance, i'm going back to the ironing and defrosting freezer, but not smoking.

well done caz(ctc), you should be so much prouder of yourself for the fact that champix didnt agree with you & that youve picked yourself up & are continuing the quit now that is Willpower x

[nsd_user663_4785]

Thanks kitkat yes I am proud of myself.............was just saying to my sister today i had the perfect out to have a ciggie and nobody would have given me a hard time and I didn't take it.

Even the kids said they wouldn't have blamed me if i had had one but I just felt that last week was such a struggle to stay off them and did I really want to throw all that away...............nope. Dont want to go through the last 3 weeks again so I'll just need to keep going

You should be proud too...........28 days with 2 small kids to deal with that is amazing to me................don't know that I could have done it when my boys were wee..........well done you

Hi Carol

Hope you feel better now and well done not giving in

As you said no one would have blamed you in the least

But you kept right on going with your quit and that took real guts to do

I'm so proud of you and glad to hear that you're proud as well

Hi Caz

Thought you had disappeared or was that me that had disappeared. Never mind we are both still here and it sounds like you have just found all your motivation and strength again. Just like it was in the beginning. Remember that?

You are doing really well stick with it because the chase is still on.

Just been throwing my rattle out my pram and telling my eldest that I want a fag.............said I would wait an hour and see how I feel then ..............came thru sat at my comp and low and behold Gary has appeared saying the chase is still on............how can I possibly have a fag now????????????
