@ PD (noooooo, that's three syllables d'oh )

Well Renog, yes I do see myself as a non-smoker and I still feel soooo smug about it. Quitting is very good for boosting your self-confidence as you feel that you personally have achieved something which others struggle with

Last time I tried to stop, I managed five weeks and next week will be my fifth week and I'm off to see mates next weekend so I'm hoping that I can get over the five week syndrome I have

Peeps who have quit already may relate to what I'm about to say My sense of smell is so acute now and I am very aware of smells, it's probably because it has been dulled for soooo long but I just love taking in different smells that I probably wouldn't have been able to smell before. Do you think I need counselling?

What's this 5 week nonsense? Stop making excuses for yourself soldier! This is about your life. Don't you dare have one this weekend. Baron Renog will be along to give your rump a prolonged and severe spanking if he hears of any further transgressions!

Hey Bo,

Glad to see you're still doing so well!

Tommorow is 11 weeks for me and I'm afraid I've not been so good over the last few days. Went to see a friend in crisis on Saturday night and sat and had a few vodkas and smoked 10 fags with her! omg I am so bad. Went back to see her on Sunday and pinched a few draws of her fag.

Then tonight, I pinched a fag out my mums pack (I feel 13 again!) and I've just smoked it :-( I can't believe how quickly the cravings have come back. But I've put it out now and I've told myself again thats my last ever fag.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh i am on that slippery slope again. I'm off to Benidorm on Saturday and dreading trying to get through the week without smoking. Why oh why oh why do I do this to myself :-(

So much for being the willpower fairy eh!

C xxx

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss

Nooooo you cannot be serious and yeeeeeeessssss, I've been there C and can totally relate That's what happened to me last time I tried to quit. One fag leads to another, leads to another, leads to another...............

I'm confused though hun, you were on the Champix weren't you? Have you finished the course? You do realise that even after a three month course, you can still keep taking them for a few weeks after, with your doctor's permission of course

I can totally understand what you're thinking though but remember the only person you're fooling is yourself. Why not look upon Benidorm as a challenge? Just think to yourself if you can get through a week in Benidorm without a fag, then you've really cracked it. Come on girl, look at that tracker, do you really want to lose it?

Even Mr Lex has had a blip due to personal circumstances and I know it happens but you have to get that frame of mind back and be determined that you've done it for so long, you can continue to do it. Remember you're doing this for you and no one else

You've stubbed out that last fag and told yourself it's your last. Hold that thought and look at how good you've been for sooooo long. Blips happen - fact - but they can be stamped out. You know that as well as I do

See, I leave you for a day or two and look what happens

We want out Willpower Fairy back Bo *taps fingers on desk*

Ok, ok, I've been hiding, Bo *holds hands up*. Yep, no need to guess what I've done. Not making any excuses here, well actually I am trying to

I had not one, not two, but three fags last weekend A close family member was rushed to hospital on Saturday and although I fought it, I failed and went out and bought ten fags

Now interestingly, I didn't actually crave a cig, so I've no idea why I did it. Perhaps it's because the answer to all my worries seems to be to go and light up. I don't think the
Willpower Fairy comes into question here, it's the behavioural habit.

I went to see my cessation nurse the other week and we had a big discussion on beheavioural habits. In all the peeps that she has seen, she says the habit is the hardest thing to break. The
addiction can disappear within days but the habit lingers on and you do need some willpower even when taking the Champix.

I've not had any cigs since but still feel like I've failed. I was doing so well too. I know it's a blip but am feeling pretty bad about it

Right, come on, come and give me some stick for it Bo *runs and hides* - especially from Renog

Anyone who feels very strongly that I've failed and thinks I should remove my tracker, come and give me some stick
