Hi All, well first things first, the Stats.....

2 weeks, 5 days, 9 hours, 30 minutes....

Still, as they say, taking it one day at a time. I am still on the first level patch, and still using the lozenges as well, when required.

But all in all I am doing quite well with the smoking / Ecig cessation. One thing I noticed today on my way into work was a car went by, and someone must have been smoking in there, it passed at about 40 miles per hour, and I could...

Although the smoking cessation services will tell you that stress is an excuse for smoking, and that cigarettes do not help with...

well, three days upto now, not weakened...

I am craving a little bit, but manageable, so hopefully this quitting inhaled nicotine is not doing too bad.

Pain in the chest, back and shoulders is still there, still panicking about Tuesday. To be honest, it is all I can think about at the minute. I am trying to focus, because work is suffering through it, but what can I do?
