Mad world

Hay Guys had to tell you all about this one, I had go my doctor to see the No Smoking adviser which doubles as the nurse, I expected some encouragement or even a look of pity for the hell I was going though as it’s my 6th day and I really want a fag. It turns out she is a smoker so I was asking her all the questions she should have been asking. Anyway she gave me 2 weeks of patches and a inhalator with 47 refills....Mad world..

Raph

6 days, 4 hours.....And still wanna smash things up..but still no fags.

the No Smoking adviser which doubles as the nurse

Hope it wasn't a male No Smoking Advisor doubling as a Nurse in his nice skimpy uniform he wears at weekends :eek:

Anyway, you should have shared the patches and inhalator refills with the Nurse to give her some encouragement to quit

When you going back to see how her quitting is doing?

Its a joke

How can you possibly have a No Smoking Adviser that smokes, it make a mockery of the whole system, maybe she get a kick back from the tobacco companies and a final way of trying not to lose loyal customers.

I understand completely what you are saying Ralph, it's sort of like a midwife who is delivering a baby but had never had one - how can they understand if they've not been through :confused: I'm not saying midwives who haven't had kids are bad midwives I'm just saying I think people should have experience things in life for themselves before they can help others with that particular thing. I hope that makes sense?

My beautician told me the other day that 'it surely wasn't that bad to quit smoking' she has never smoked - I nearly stuck her head in the wax pot :eek:

I completely understand what you mean though but well done you on your quit - maybe next time you should put it to the nurse, have you ever tried quitting, I would.

What's worse though is a stop smoking advisor who has never smoked, they just don't get it at all.

Good luck with your quit

Possibly smokers could be great no-smoking advisors... better than never smokers at least...

... but not better than ex-smokers.

Suppose it's a bit hypocritical specially when you're going through so much but a lot of times what's kept me going is my chain-smoking friends looking at me longingly and saying 'I wish I could quit, like you'... Gave me a little boost.
