Smoking update…day errr 3 months…
I’m pretty damn chuffed to be honest as I made it through christmas without so much as a drag of a cigar or ciggie, even New Year’s eve! Woo!
Thank the lord for the nicotine gum tho. I’m supposed to be off it by now I think but sod it, it’s better than smoking. I only use the 2mg stuff now which has hardly any nicotine in it anyway. I just phoned up the Nicorette help line to see if they could sell me some gum with no nicotine in it at all, that would be ace.
I know it sounds stupid but it’s the taste of it that I think I’m addicted to now rather than the actual nicotine itself. And the nicorette gum is ‘thicker’ than most other gums so it doesn’t get stuck in my teeth. Damn it, why don’t they sell it. They’re missing a trick I tell you, loads of people I’ve spoken to feel the same way.
Anyway, not only have I stopped smoking but I have now embarked upon a sensible diet. Good old weight watchers Points system. Day 5 and all is well. We’ll see after th weekend I suppose.
Happy New Year everyone!
Congratualtions non-smoker! My boyfriend is keen to quit and is trying to organise some help and advice through his work. The clinics here are mon-fri 9-5, not very helpful when they are the hours you work! Money is the motivation to give up for both of us, though he has more will power than me. Times are hard and it’s got to be done though!
Thanks - it’s been nearly five months now and it’s going pretty well - still addicted to the damn gum tho which is annoying me…I’ll get there the end I hope!
Thanks for the comments
