Hello all....2 whole weeks smoke free! Feeling really great, still struggle in the evening

but just put positive thoughts in my head...health, wealth and happiness to name but a few.

Have a great day everyone. Don't get on much but will try and check in every day. Good luck to everyone. Dawn xxx

[jillygirl Administrator Queen Bee in reply to dawlol]

Hi Dawn, Lovely to see you on here again.and still doing fine.

[Hidden]

Well I've decided to go back on Champix to get off the nicotine lozenges. I remember when I used champix to stop smoking that lozenges tasted disgusting, they used to go all slimy. So I still had some left and in desperation I decided to just have half a tablet in the morning and another half in the evening, if they appear to be working (there's 14 whole tablets so they should last me 28 days) I'm gonna go to the docs to see if they can prescribe me some more. As Queen says I've got to break free.

On a more positive note, after the Giant Avail debacle and the chain that didn't want to be chained I got a refund. Have just won (talking ebay speak here, still got to pay for the dam thing unfortunately ) a Canondale road bike on ebay, t'was nail biting stuff with secret bidders hiding until the last five minutes. won it with just 1 second to go.

[jillygirl Administrator Queen Bee in reply to Hidden]

Good afternoon Sinfree, You sound much more positive today its lovely to see your in fighting spirits.

As for ebay lovely feeling when you win in the last few seconds. Like you say then you have to pay , spoils it then, Have a lovely day. xx

[jarvo]

Hi, me again!

Thanks Jillygirl, you’re doing brilliant. It’s lovely to see you helping others after all this time. You could probably do our job no

Sinfree, nice to meet you. I’m a little concerned as to why you feel you need Champix to come off the lozenge (am I understanding you correctly?) The idea of using NRT (nicotine replacement therapy) is to set your quit date or cut down to quit and replace your cigarettes with the lozenges. With Champix you smoke for the first week to two weeks and then quit. You usually find your cigarettes taste differently or you might light the cigarette and realise you don’t want it. It works with the nicotine receptors in the brain. The most important thing with Champix is to complete the 12 week course. Have a little look at this link stopsmoking.org.uk/content/...

Dawlol, welcome back and well done on quitting for 2 weeks. What can you do to help you through the evenings? It could be as simple as sitting in a different chair (if you smoked in the house); breathing exercises or do a puzzle. A craving will pass whether you have a cigarette or not. It will get easier with time.

I hope this helps a little!!

[dawlol 18 Months Winner in reply to jarvo]

Thanks Jarvo! I know you are right - it's only certain times/places so it is all mind association. I will get through it this time as this is definitely my FINAL QUIT! xxx

[Hidden in reply to jarvo]

Hi Jarvo. I stopped smoking back in January using Champix but never really took to it. I stopped using Champix just before the end of the course in April as I didn't feel it was doing anything plus I slipped at the time and smoked 18 cigs. Then I started using nicotine lozenges, I've never smoked since but am soooo addicted to lozenges now. After attempts at stopping the lozenges but suffering really bad cravings and bad temper to go with it I just thought maybe the Champix would get me off the lozenges and I have some left so thought I'd try it again. If it looked like it was helping I was going to go to Doctors to get back on Champix to try to finally kick the nicotine lozenge habit that I've now developed.

However, since this morning I've been out this afternoon and bought a new e-cig. Seems the one I've been using since May was rubbish which was why I thought it didn't work well for me. Now I've got my new e-cig I've only had one lozenge all day so now I don't really know what to do. I'd ideally like to use nothing but every time I try to ditch nicotine it ends in me getting really angry, I just can't cope without nicotine in one form or another.

[jarvo]

Well done dawlol. Keep positive

As poor hubby finished tiling the bathroom yet ?? Am just wondering, how are you getting on with the Diabetes, have you got a stricked diet to keep too

[jillygirl Administrator Queen Bee in reply to monky]

Tiling not finished hubby got man flu.

Diet well its nearly as bad as nicotine addiction. I have to cut down on all the nice things. Always the case isnt it. Go in 2 weeks to see the nurse who will then advise me what and what not to do. Like hubby says theres always summat int tha.

[jillygirl Administrator Queen Bee]

How about this then, I emailed our local council on Saturday to report a large pot hole on the entrance to our flat. I received an email back on Monday (yesterday) saying they would look at it within the next 28 days.

Went out this morning and the pot hole was repaired. Wow makes a change.

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to jillygirl]

Hmmmmmm, that tells me Jillygirl, that they know you orrrrrrr, somebody has told them about you so they thought they had best get it done pretty smartish, before you get your rolling pin out to em eh

[andi22 in reply to monky]

Ooer - I think I've caught you up now then.

[andi22]

Good evening everybody.

Looks like most of you have had a good day. Did you get that lovely sunshine? I wanted to go out on my bike but thought I'd better stay home and do something in the garden. I had my eyes tested this morning. She said that my distance vision has improved and my other way has slightly deteriorated but I still don't need reading glasses. The worse part is when you're out shopping and I try to read labels and packets. They make the print smaller and smaller and put stupid colours one on top of the other on purpose so no-one can read them. I'm trying to find a good sized magnifying glass to keep in my handbag for such times - it really does my head in.

Anyway, I went out running tonight with my running group - lovely evening for it. The moon and stars are out now - but the wind and rain will be back tomorrow.

[jillygirl Administrator Queen Bee in reply to andi22]

OK for you southern girls. flippin cold and windy here. at least it didnt rain well only a little bit this morning. Glad you enjoyed your evening. I went out for a meal with Sarah and my granddaughter.They had fish and chips and i had scampi and salad. so reasonably good.

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to andi22]

Andi, it sounds like you had a nice day gal and got stuff done just , erm how much you done in the garden then !!

[jillygirl Administrator Queen Bee]

GOOD NEWS! Our Sue is back tomorrow. Just managed to get signal with her phone line etc. send her love to you all.

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to jillygirl]

[jillygirl Administrator Queen Bee]

Well its shut eye time for me or nearly, so Night nite Andi, Pete and everyone else. At least we all have a laugh before the day is over. See you all tomorrow. loves ya all. xx
