Hi Michelle hope you cope ok. As for being a smoker, I would class you as an ex smoker. There is always a bit of a stigma about smokers. Especially from those who have never smoked.

Try have a good day. :)

What I meant to say was that the Champix/nicotine mix makes sense & making you feel groggy and of course, like Jilly says you are an ex smoker & which is why Jilly is an administrator & I'm not ;)

Have a goodun

Hi Noonie, hope things are going ok with you today :)

Hi Briar,

Thanks for the kind words of motivation, coming to the end of my tobacco pack which has lasted me a week so far, nearly cracked today when I thought about buying some 'real' cigs but didn't & also my son starts 2 weeks hol's tomorrow (France) so a great time to quit totally.

Think I must be a 'cut down' kinda person rather than total cold turkey.

Hope you having a great day :)

I ride my bike to work 5miles each way and clear my head to get over the smokes and it helps my lungs also exercise is the key to quitting i believe because when you're working out getting all of those nasty toxins out of your lungs and body you dont want to put them back in an waste al of the hard work you have done so far, My question to you is, is your life and health worth a cigarette they say (doctors) "The Next one could be the heart attack cigarette" so keep that in mind who knows when the Heart attack will come but dont gamble with it anyway :-)

That's a great tip Navyguy, it has been proven that exercise helps to overcome cravings. It also gives that 'feel good factor' boost :-)

10 miles cycling each day... that's great :-)

Hey Michelle, I hope your day is going okay so far. Everything that you are feeling and going through at the moment are (although not very nice) a normal part of the process of stopping smoking. You are most definitely heading in the right direction, so try and see all this as a positive :-)

Whichever way you choose to stop smoking, we'll all support you. You're doing brilliant so far :-)

Noonie, cutting down to quit is another way to stop smoking - just try not to smoke 'more' of the fewer ones you are smoking - if that makes sense :o I think what I am trying to say is - don't take extra big puffs of your cigarettes to make up for the ones you are not smoking.... We can help you come through the other side at a pace to suit you ;-)

Not what you're looking for?
