I'm fine Doreen but thanks for the support. I've been here before with a previous 3 year quit so I think it is helping me knowing what to expect. I know there are some tough times ahead but I also know I can overcome them and that things do get better also as with my last quit my teeth really hurt (a bit weird I know lol ) but this has stopped now so all is good.

Stilll hanging in there

Lost 4-0 but I didn't cave

Biggest test so far tomorrow. West Ham v Man UTD first game of the season live on tv in the pub at 4 PM !!!!

It's a funny thing with friends and family. Non smokers are very supportive and ask how it's going (even though I actually don't want to talk about it, talk about ANYTHING else but my stopping smoking lol!!!) but smokers tend to be sceptical, I wouldn't say non-supportive and I wouldn't say envious certainly surprised that I'm now 12 days in. Strangely THEY don't want talk about my quit either which suits me just fine lol I am actually suffering a bit today for the first time in my quit so coming here and unloading is helping, I'm trying to keep busy and I know it'll pass and tomorrow will be another better day. I'm also £121.33 better off which isn't too shabby so I think I'll treat myself to a bottle of wine and a take away tonight. Thanks for listening.

Just got back from my second visit to the non smoking clinic. On my first visit I blew 36 on the carbon monoxide meter today I blew 3 which apparently is normal even for a non smoker. The councillor said it's impossible to blow 0 because of general pollution like car exhausts. So I'm pretty pleased with myself without being complacent.

Sorry for the confusion. One of the biggest bridges to cross for me is a night at the pub with friends who smoke. Obviously the temptation is increased. By pub - tick I simply meant that this hurdle has now been overcome and that particular box ticked.

Pub - tick

10 days in and I only want to stab people in the eyes with red hot needles.............not a bad start overall !!!!

Thank you all for the welcome. The only real issue I currently have is, because I've gone down the champix path as that worked for me last time, pretty bad nausea after taking the morning tablet. I don't remember it being as bad as this but as Peace Train suggests every quit is different. So just keep on keeping on I guess. Thanks again for he support.

Hi Everyone. I've been looking around this site for a few days you all seem a very supportive and helpful bunch which I definitely need!!! Some years ago I quit but stupidly relapsed after 3 years !!!! I used a forum much like this and found the people unbelievably helpful and understanding so I thought I would look around for a forum this time and came across you. I have been quit a week and know the unpleasantness that lies ahead from my previous quit so apologies in advance for bending your ears in the future.
