Keep busy. Instead of feeling sorry that I am not smoking, I pat my self on the back

Just over six weeks since I quit. I never realised how much I rewarded myself with those cancer causing foul smelling expensive cigs. Vacuumed have a smoke. Tidy kitchen have a smoke etc. I'm taking Champix my dr also said I could have nicotine replacement as well eg chewiness. I Was hoping to do without but honestly they have helped heaps. I have wanted to get my teeth bleached for ages but it was so expensive. Last week I went to the dentist for teeth bleaching it cost less than 6 weeks smoking. I am really enjoying going out for dinner and having to find somewhere to smoke. I always felt a bit of a outcast but not anymore. Good luck to everybody.

What a fantastic reward for yourself! I bet your smile looks beautiful! Good on you!
