Hi Hun
Congrats on coming back and saying basically enough is enough. I know you can do this as like you have said you have done it before.
I used champix to start off my quit and even though i never completed the course i have stayed smoke free so maybe that may be of use to you.
Anyhow, i would make an appt to see a quit nurse or other HCP and see what they can offer you and get back on that wagon as soon as you can.
Again good luck hun and welcome back
thankyou,ive got 2 cigs left then my patch going on!!!know its not going to be easy,but im going for it!!will come on here as much as i can x
Hi .. how are you getting on Becca ?
I use t patches NiQuitin 24 hr
im on 14 mg now
after 8 weeks on 21mg
the nurse's at my doctors are so sweet
they are so pleased i havent smoked
they are carefully nursing me thro my quit
i see them every 2 weeks
i am staying on 14mg patches for 4 weeks
then drop to 7 mg
i also have my nicorette inhalator .. which is invaluable
for the hand to mouth thing
its something to suck on Ha'
i started off using 12 cartridges a day !
now im using 3 or 4
Best Wishes with your quit
Regards River xx
