Give yourself a break

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.
Well done on picking today as your quit day. Let us know how you are going.

Hi Paddy good luck with your efforts. Hang in there we want to hear from you. You do it one day at the time.

Hi Paddy. Well done on your efforts. I too have attempted several times to quit, but this time I'm determined. My day is today, so i am one day behind you. Stay positive and keep going...Look forward to hearing how you are going...
