I read free drinks for early attendance for registration or in order So, to celebrate all us Octo's being together one day of each Month, I'll have a double Black Russian. If Dave has any of that Russian drink left, then make it with that please.
Rum and fruit cocktails in St Bart's right now would be wonderful, with or without walls and ceiling. Sand, Sea and ........ is it just us? Sand and sea and rum cocktails..... bliss:cool:
I look forward to seeing the names on the clipboard grow over the coming days/weeks and seeing whose still going strong and smoke free...... cheers all.
here miss waddling through the door and not because of my name ! feeling alot better about my quit and preparing to tackle the weight but hey... free drinks... Ill have a bottle of white , weight can wait !!!
Still going strong although haven't quite been able to stop the Champix yet bit nervous and because I'd started only really taking one a day instead of two have loads left. Anyone got any encouraging comments to make me take the plunge and stop taking them :eek: Well done though everyone xx
Lucanlass, you asked about stopping Champix. I found it easier to cut down gradually, went to one a day - half in morning and half at night; then just the morning half; then every other day; then nothing. It wasn't a problem, I'm sure you'll be fine

In all fairness I think I may have stopped too soon, however why don't you go to 1/2 a tablet a day and then every other day and so on. I understand why you are nervous but I think you will be ok my lovely.
Sorry I don't enter the forum every day... but I really don't think about the cigarettes very often! I have completed 100 days without the smoking-slavery!!!
Great to get your update and hear your passed the 100 days too - congrats.
Well, aren't we the lucky group? French hugs from our French neighbour (but living oooop North) Corrine and then we receive smoke free kisses from Smokefree in Greece..... what more can a group ask for :cool:
whoa! sorry I am late. been enjoying my life so much that I've been forgetting to come on!! Glad so see you all.
for the poster (Luchan??) who needs encouragement coming off the Champix, I was a wee bit apprehensive, as well. But -- don't worry -- it is a doddle and nothing but good news. The only change for me was getting rid of annoying side effects (headache and stomach upset for me). I am still dealing with feeling neurotic, but, for me, that was bc of giving up the fags and how my brain reacts to that -- not the drug. No real change in coming off Champix.
Nice to see you, too! Most of the time, I am so happy to be quit and really enjoying my life. But, I still tend to have panic attacks and 'anger attacks', etc. However, I really do think it is getting better. I am on full throttle most of the time; I don't know if this is good or not. I am rarely sat down and relaxing. Something I need to work on!!
You mention anger attacks.......... was that just part of dealing with the emotional aspects that are linked somehow, to anxiety?
I've noticed an underlying anger bubbling away of late. I know it's not quit related but I do wonder if it's being intensified by not having the smoking comfort blanket or excess caffeine..... yes, life is part of it, but working out what other things re quitting may or may not be effecting it, is proving necessary.
Busy/flat out....... got to be good and certainly better than sitting around moping or thinking tooo much. Just know when you need to 'stop and stare and relax'

Month 5 here we come -- ready or not!!

Hello my lovely
I understand these anger attacks or in my case mood swings as I am up and down recently. I was like this month 2 and I just do not understand why at 4 months am I reliving my teenager years (except the snogging of Paul Dickens!!)
Nice to see you though Julie, chin up (which one I ask myself:D).
