Approaching Four Months!
Well nearly at my next mile stone. 23rd Jan I will be four months smoke free. After getting over the anxious period of giving up the NRT, I don't actually crave anymore. The only real reminder that I smoked is this cough! It clears and cones back, clears and comes back! I still moving the brown crud

Is there an easier way to get Champix from the NHS than having to go through my registered GP?
I cannot always get time to visit my GP or stop smoking clinic at my GP's surgery. I had stopped previously with Champix and found it the best way for me to stop, I only had 4 weeks worth but this stopped me for almost 4 months, until the cravings returned just as strong as they were before... Patches

Hi everyone. I'm now in my second day of quitting and I'm finding it tough but not too bad. However i have been snacking on jaffa cakes and peanuts quite a lot though. I'm not a big fan of fruit so not sure what else i should snack on. I'm reasonably active as i play football and go to the gym occasionally

So,my back surgery is definitely going ahead tomorrow afternoon and to be honest I'm just a bit nervous now.Spoke to my surgeons Secretary on Friday (he was with her at the time) so I've told him that he can't have any cocktails tonight(!!!!) but actually forgot to say that I still wasn't smoking I guess

Now off NRT :-)
After what seems like forever, I'm now off any NRT. It's was one hell of a ride and I would feel a lot more happy about it if my anxiety was not such pain in the arse! But I'm back at work now, everyday gets just that little bit easier (only very little) and I'm looking forward to a smoke free and

Someone nicely asked why I'm quitting smoking and for some reason I can't find it in the forum so if it's ok, I'll reply here Basically my name is Ellie and I'm 31. Today (Monday) is day 5 of quitting (well it's been 4 days, 22 hours and 47 minutes, but whose counting) For the last 9 years I've battling

Once you have reached your quit date...
1. DON’T SMOKE! 2. Remember the rule of N.O.P.E! Not One Puff Ever! 3. Ask people you live with not to smoke around you. Spend time with non-smokers. 4. Keep busy, stay active – try walking, exercising or doing other activities. 5. Drink lots of water. 6. Begin using the nicotine replacement

The sun has got his hat on
Well the sun has made an appearance lets hope the wind drops and I can get out for my daily walk, the exercise always helps to dislodge more phlegm for me which after a coughing fit actually makes me feel much better, going to concentrate on drinking more water today, too much alcohol consumed last few

Quit 5 weeks ago and now issues.
I quit smoking 5 weeks ago after ten years. Didn't start smoking til I was 26 in the Marine Corps and found myself in a war and was hooked since then. I kept quitting off and on and finally clean now. But now ive had bloating when I normally have a flat stomach which causes pain and seems to contribute

I'm off the ecig (well for now anyway !!)
Recovering from a chest infection with a bout of possibly the worst asthma I've had in a long while. (I'm only very mildly asthmatic but this time has been hard) However as they say, every cloud has a silver lining & just didn't want to use my ECig so I'm officially nicotine free since Sunday :)

When will I notice my breathing improving?
I'm being told over and over how my breathing will improve after quiting smoking but I feel mines got worse. I'm wheezing and coughing and always feel like I've got a frog in my throat. Some days I cough up brown phlegm other days it's clear. I'm still feeling positive about quitting, I'm in my 8th week

Strike 2 !!
I'll start by apologising as this may turn into a bit of a rant,SORRY. The surgery on my back was originally due to be done today but then I got bumped and given a new date for next Monday.Have spent the last 4 weeks planning and sorting and generally just getting prepared mentally for what was to come

THE FIRST DAY OF QUITTING
I found this whilst browsing, may be of interest to some of you. The Day You Quit Smoking Okay, the alarm goes off. It’s your first morning as an ex-smoker... You’ve prepared for this. You know when your triggers will be popping up. And you know how to beat them when they do. So, don’t linger
