I'm into the second week of 'Champix' and while the amount I smoke has reduced, I can't seem to pick/stay on a date to actually quit. I have had better experiences with (patches) in the past, pushing past the 'Itchy/Slippery' old patch. I have put a patch on at night (21mg) and in the morning, not had a thought of a smoke. This might sound silly, but can patches be used with the tablets??...I hav...

Isnt that a title of a movie? Anyway 45 days...today is 46...and going well. Ive had a few urges last 2 days (definitely more than usual) which has surprised me. Nothing major and easily battered away after a few moments, but coming at an increased frequency than other weeks. Saved over 1.2k now. How the *deleted* did I ever afford this stupid habit?!?

Strange isn't it, I was at 980 days of living without Mr Nico teen not thinking of a smoke anymore and here we go: A great holiday in summer europe with old chain smoking friends, cheap cigarettes and i started again. Got through two 2 packets in 2 weeks and now without smoking again for 4 days. So stupid I was- all the addiction connection restarted their activity- every person I passed smel...

Hello everyone, I am back from the Gold Coast, and Whitsunday Islands,where I saw family and friends in Queensland. No I didn't smoke this time! Before; During; and After. It looks like I have improved 100% from last holidays. I did have a thought about one when I was relaxing with my dear friends and a glass of wine, but it was only a fleeting thought. I had no time to think about it when I got ...

TL:DR - I'm still a bit shocked or confused that it is extremely likely I won't ever be a smoker again. I've been smoking 20 a day for the last 14 years. Not sure when exactly, maybe a few years ago, I started disliking smoking immensely. So each year, I'd say... maybe this is the year I'll stop. And it kept rolling over to the next year. For the last year, I've increased my exercise (spe...

Hi All Decided to log back in and see how folks are tracking. It had been a while since I visited, maybe late April. I found a few stories that sounded familiar - when does it get better ? when does the anxiety go? etc...I can remember those days well and my heart ached for these folks. So I commented for these folk as I know when I was asking similar things many of you encouraged me. So thankf...

As far as my family & friends knows I haven't had a cigarette since 29.05.2019. I was going strong for 2 weeks and an unforeseen incident at the office lead me straight back to the nicotine monster. I ONLY smoke at the office, not at home or at social/family events. I feel guilty for keeping this a secret from my husband, friends and extended family. I feel anxious when I think I think I can't...

After so many years of loaded guilt , self destruction, fake happiness due to the smoking addiction, I am able almost 10 month guilt free, really happy that I have not smoked. After months of hot and sweaty climate, finally it rained for a long time washing away all the negativity and leaving behind happy feelings and a fresh evening . Normally I would have smoked out of joy but now I enjoy...

For the first time i had a dream that i smoked a cigarette. I do not recall it clearly, but i do remember that i lit a second one later and put it out after a couple of drags feeling terrible about the slip. I remembered it while brushing my teeth this morning, but knew that it was a dream, thankfully . At 250 Smoke free days, I wondered what may have triggered it. Last night hubby and i ...

So I kind of took some puffs last Sunday...I was feeling very down.
