Yes all right, I'm using patches and that might seem like cheating to some, but if it gets me to the same destination, then the journey isn't important, I don't think.
My mum starts her chemo this week. She is so thin, I can hardly bear it. But smoking wouldn't help me bear it. It would only make me feel guilty and fear for my own health, so I am glad to not be smoking. One day at a time, eh?

I have had such a battle with myself over CT vs NRT. I am a very stubborn old git and have sort of convinced myself that I haven't really quit yet. And I see so many here who are managing it CT and am full of admiration for them.
But no, you are right. I'm not smoking, and that's what I set out to achieve, so have to concede it's working.
This week will be tough, but however tough things are for me, they are 1000 times tougher for my lovely Ma, so it kind of puts things into perspective for me.
Awwww Max, I do love a good hug
As for being on my best behaviour...I sure am not going to be smoking on that there train, but other than that, I'm not making any promises
Newleaf,Iv tried cold turkey but it makes me a *** to live with.Im on patches too,a low dose and they seem fine.1st day today so we are quit buddies too.
I agree with the others it doesn't matter what help you get as long as you quit smoking. Love to you and your mum Newleaf, that can't be easy for you.xxx
