Hows it goin dude? . .

Or have you given into Steves sinful ways

As much as he tried no

I can drink and not smoke, amazing it was hard but I chewed nico mints like crazy, copped shite all night for it

Everyone else was very supportive

I found the drinking part not to be too much of a worry . ... In fact, I believe I may have increased considerably to make up for lack of nicotine . .

Keep it up mate, doin good

Today is day 22 for me. First real test is going to come this weekend, heading out to Dubbo for a mate's birthday drinks.

Hows everyone going with this?

Day 15 on champix, 6 days clean and no real side effects other than a very minor head ache.
Havnt had a despo moment at all, just a few fleeting moments on friday night.
Got a bowl full of nico chewies, patches and mints for emergencies and healthy stuff to gnaw on. Hey, it works

Been washing clean clothes again because they stink of it, it will take a while for the car interior to air out but it reminds me of what a stinking habit smoking is.

The smell of smoke now disgusts me more than ever, I fear I will turn into one of those ex smokers who thinks of it as weak willed.

Hey Jonno, well done!

My test over the weekend wasn't much of a test in the end... no one in our group was smoking. Only time was when I first sat down with my first bourbon for the evening, I felt like I should go outside and light up, cuz that's what I do, but it only lasted for a second Was outside for a little while with people smoking nearby and it wasn't bad, the smell didn't bother me but nor did it tempt me! However, I guess I must have a neighbour who smokes near to my bathroom window as just about every evening my bathroom stinks of cigarette smoke... and that bugs me greatly.

Onya Mel, wtg, your giving me inspiration

Yeah its all about letting that urge to pass which is common but in a second its gone, a distraction helps too.

Hehe that smoke intrusion is rude isnt it

You did well friday night mate. D&D and no smoke. Well done Jonno.

You guys helped with your encouragement

No prob dude.

Well done!!! Keep it up!!!

.. and definitely wash everything!!! Make everything smell like frangipanis or something for when your smelling ability comes back properly...

Thought id post up here again so i can get my name off the wall of shame...
been clean now for something like 3 weeks and i havent looked back once...
So Richo, be a champ and edit your post

Yayayayayayayay wasabi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quiting would be good, but...........

Keep going guys i have been clean for 11mnths now thanks to champix tablets I even turned into a anti smoking prick when i got the shits one day and told the driver and his off sider to stop smoking in the trucks because of the stink.As for feeling better well i have put on 10kilo and feel fatter, tend to cough more then i ever did but i dont get headaches any more and with the money i have save i bought my zxr so its not al bad So Keep it up guys i was close to two pkts a day and after my course of champix im cured
