About christmas'12, I was over it. Out running with the kids, I was stuffed. It was time.Patches and a new pushy. I went to the local discount chemist, spoke to a great girl named Shannon, she gave me the best advice ever. " give yourself a break, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. If you slip up, try again ". I've been cutting down for 6 mths. Went to doc for some more help. Got Champix, (2nd time round). This is quit attempt number ??, can't remember. This time I want it more than ever. Thinking positive always. Getting up early going for a walk/run or a ride, get the blood pumping. Start the day on a high.32 years of smoking ends TOMORROW. The official day ONE. 13-07-13.

Hi Paddy, good for you, and great advice, it makes it alot easier when we give each other a break...but hard too. Champix is very effective it will work no doubts.... but I am not going to lie it will take alot of willpower too, but they are a massive help. Keep posting here and look forward to reading your posts.
