Hi Rachel, big well done on your first week. It will soon be your first month. Xx : ) 0
CONGRATULATIONS Rachel on your 1 week quit, BRILLIANT๐๐ผ๐๐๐
Well done hun, so happy for you๐๐ผ๐x
Thank you for your encouragement! ๐ beautiful little bundle of magic on your post ๐
Well done Rachel, it's a great feeling to get that first week outta the way ๐๐ keep up the great quit you have got going on ๐๐
Well done Rachel on your first week, that is awesome๐๐
Don't be too concerned about the heartburn as it is quite a common symptom of recovery. I had it when I quit, lasted about a month then just vanished ๐๐
Keep up he great quit you have going
Aup Rachel, thats just flippin fantastic gal am loving it, loving it, loving it and YES, you be chuffed with yourself and flippin PROUD too gal I tell ya
Now, what I want you to do is go and treat yourself to something really nice cos then, this will get sort of lodged into your brain that not only is your body getting healthier, BUT, also you get nice little treats tooo If that makes sense to you
Rachel, I'm very sorry but I had your quit date down as the 7th August, look gal, am an ole boy getting now and only have one brain cell see soooo, I do apologise and all has been corrected now
Ermmm, if you feel the need to punish me in any way then feel free to do so, I will take it like a monkey BUT, you got a catch me first seeeee
Rachel, your doing just fine gal you really are and as for your heart burn like Glolin has said, it is a common side affect especially with the lozenges and gum but, as your body gets used to them, this should get a lot easier for you
Stay strong and remember NOPE, Not One Puff Ever
Thank you all for your lovely encouraging words ๐. This site is cracking ๐. Monky, I shall bear no grudge that you couldn't read my mind and got my quit date wrong...and I shall treat myself to something. Maybe I'll sell one of the kids on ebay and treat myself to ten minutes peace and quiet...maybe sell the husband too...this could work for me ๐
errrr Rachel you have a lot to learn.... Don't let that cheeky monky off that easily and he's crap at running you will catch him easily ๐๐๐
As for the hubby, you might wanna join forces with briar and shanti.... They've been trying to get rid of their hubby's for years .......๐๐๐
Very fast taxi for droopy ๐๐
You are now officially part of the how to get rid of hubby club๐๐๐
Any good suggestions will be gratefully accepted but have to say I've already tried eBay and I even offered free mince pies with him last Christmas and still no takers๐ฉ so it's a work in progress๐x
Don't forget you both wrapped em up and posted them to me.....ok I did send em back by next post...๐ฎ๐๐
I was trying to forget that sis๐ข now I'm heartbroken again๐x
Well done Rachel, it will only get easier..... keep up the good work.
Just seen it says 7 month winner for me - I gave up 25th February 2014 so just over 1 year 5 months
Whoohoo Grenada 17 months is fantastic...๐๐๐. Sorry about your badge, I'm sure mister monky will be around later to rectify that for you ๐๐
How have you been getting on with your quit ??๐
Apart from a weight gain it has been fairly easy. I first smoked when I was 16 and gave up when I wanted to start a family; not smoking for 26 years!!!! Then various happenings had me smoking again but that won't happen again. I will not smoke again.
Ooooh!! This is harsh!!! ๐ณ๐๐๐. Monky, you take the abuse quite well so I can only guess that you're used to it... ladies, I'm glad I'm not alone in my pain ๐. My beloved husband started Champix over two weeks ago, determined to stop and has carried on smoking. Can't help but hate him ever so slightly as I was going to stop after him...now look at the situation I'm in! Lightweight that he is ๐. Oh, for a dirty fag...
Hi Rachel yep am used to all this abuse I get off these Ladies on here, cos maybe I ermmmmm, take the micky out of em see
Rachel, you say your hubby is on champix well, I've used champix a couple of years ago and it worked really well for me after about 12 days, I went from smoking 40 odd a day to 9 then, I thought this is it time to stop altogether and I did
There are very very good write ups for champix and if I hadnt got cocky and cut the course in half, then I would have been quit for at least 2 years now
Rachel, please ask hubby if they have cut him down any ?? and if he is taking them
Champix works on your nicotine receptors in your brain and kind of numbs them soooo, after about 10 - 12 days in, you just dont need nicotine any more hence, you dont need to smoke BUT, saying that, we are all different and we take different times to appreciate the advantage
Rachel, your doing extremely well on your quit sooo please dont let hubby misguide you into smoking again eh
BE STRONG and show him that you CAN DO IT sooo, your flippin BOSS Lady around here but saying that, maybe encourage him a bit eh Please, please dont have a go at him, cos he will just dig his heels in more
If he hasnt quit by this time next week, then there is something wrong
Rachel, please remember NOPE, Not One puff Ever
Take care and hope to see's ya soon x
Ah Monky... We've both done the Champix before...quit for 12 weeks...then he ended up in hospital and we both started again ๐. This time however, I've done it without champix and as much as I don't want to sound cocky, I don't want to smoke...just got to find another crutch. Hubby has lost a family member through suicide this week so think his plans of stopping have been put to one side ๐. Poor lamb ๐ข. He's come off the champix for now, I'm just gonna try and get him to go see his smoking nurse when he can and hope things ease up...and hope to God that sleep returns to me before old age!!!
Hi ya Rachel, am so sorry to hear about your hubbies family member that really knocks you back
Rachel, you are doing ever soo well and I bow down to you for going cold turkey gal I really doo Maybe have a look at the breathing exercises to the right of your post, under Pinned Posts, cos this could help you to sleep
Rachel, one day at a time eh
