Hi Everyone
I'm new to the forum, I really think it'll help me being on here! I'm on day 5 now, Using patches and my vape on 0% fluid. I quit on Thursday, the first day of my new job, and its really helped as I don't have a habit associated to it if that makes sense? I've started working in Radiotherapy, and I felt that my poor patients have cancer, and here I am purposely putting something into my body that causes it. I've got my stop smoking appointment at my doctors tomorrow, after so many failed attempts (2 on champix as my stomach hates it, patches, gum, just using my vape alone......) she's used to me, and knows how I get on. I'm feeling good, I don't crave anything now, but I know the road isn't straight ahead! Right now, the only problem I have is kind of gross. Obviously, everything bad in my lungs is working its way out, as expected, but its stuck. for days now, I can't cough it up! Does anyone have any tips to loosen it at all? Sorry if its disgusting to read!
I'd also like some tips on how to combat the eating phase. I've already put on a hell of a lot of weight while I was smoking, and I really don't want to put anymore on, and lose what I have got! Does anyone know of anything tasty but healthy that craves the need for constant snacking?
