I cannot say that the thoughts have all gone away but yesterday was perhaps the biggest test for me. I took my dog for a walk in the park and had my winter jacket on.

Great I am still 60 days without Nicotine and Tar. I am beginning to understand more about myself in the process, mainly the reactive feelings in dealing with confrontation with others. I have kept things low key to begin with but I have had two incidents which I tried to handle (not successfully) with others.

Went to my GP and she was so so pleased, I am on week 5 of Champix and gave up during week 2-3. 14 days smoke free, Still finding it hard at times, but I think its because of lack of sleep. I might have to leave the night dose off she told me, and I am quite happy to try this, but will persevere for another 2 weeks on morning and night.

I didn't know what section to put this request in on this forum? I will be on 10 days without a cigarette but tomorrow is my Birthday and I usually go out with some family and friends.

Thanks
