well I abandoned champix cos it upset my digestion. So at the moment am back on mini lozenges cos having nothing is too hard.

am well pleased to have got to tonight without a further relapse, but I begin to doubt if I will ever dare call myself a non smoker; every time I think I've beaten it it beats me.

However, mustn't grumble..

hi eleanor, you know giving up is difficult, otherwise this forum wouldn't exist, but you have done really well to reach this point, it takes great determination to get this far.

one thing i believe is that we all have it within us to beat this addiction, we all have the right to dare to call ourselves non-smokers,

keep strong, keep believing :)

Thank you both for your kind messages.

Eleanor,

You can do this. I like you took the champix but then stopped quite early on as it was not being kind to me and i felt like poop, i then basically went CT but knitted an awful lot of scarves in order to keep myself busy and my mind of off the old weed addiction, anyhow im still "Smoke free" and its coming up to a full 9 months, so hun you CAN DO THIS.

That naughty Mr Nic is lurking about and he really wants you to feed him as he is starving but you must deny him any food and eventually he will annoy you less and less but you will still have to stay on your guard. If you feed him just one to satisfy him he wont be satisfied with 1 he will want another then another so basically tell him to find another restaurant to eat in ;)

I never thought i could do it but i did and i am so proud of myself and even though its early days for you in your heart you know you can too.

Anyhow good luck Hun. :)

Hang in there eleanor. If you can battle through these first few rough weeks it really does get easier. I know that sounds like hollow words when you're suffering, but it's true, honour bright.

Thanks

Thanks peoples! :)

I had another relapse yesterday :( but had had rather a difficult interview that morning. However I managed to not buy any and have been good today, so far!

This afternoon I had a really long nap, unintentionally long, but feel much better now. May not be so good when I have to get up tomorow, cos I'm unlikely to sleep early tonight..

Anyway, thanks again, your feedback is very much appreciated.

I may be on here quite a bit this weekend, my husband being away from tomorow till sunday night. Wish me luck for a peaceful weekend! as I wish you too.

God Bless
