I was always the last one to do anything, which explains why over 3 months in and I've only just decided to start documenting my wonderful quit. It could also explain why it took me to the age of 48 before I finally quit, quit for good. Over the last 30 odd years like any other smoker, I've thought about quitting, talked about quitting, read about quitting, been to my GP about quitting, quitted on a few occasions, sometimes for a day, sometimes for a week, sometimes for months and once when I was pregnant with my second son for a whole year, until something annoyed me and I went and bought a pack of fags, bad mistake. What changed this time, Me I changed I wanted to stop smoking so I did, I was excited to be finally quitting for good. I used the tablet Champix and my Doctor told they were my Last Chance Saloon, I would not be offered them again, it was a once in a lifetime offer, so it was now or never. I chose now. On the 16th January, 2014 I became a non smoker and have never regretted it once. I stopped taking the Champix about half way through the course as I felt they had done and had helped me achieve what I needed, I did not want to get to the stage where I was afraid to come off the Champix. Its been a very emotional journey, I've been angry, sad, I've questioned logic, argued facts, battled with the addict inside of me, thought about buying the damn cancer sticks, felt sick at the thought of buying them, lighting and smoking them, dreamt about them, checked packets on the ground and stamped on them. I've sang and danced, cried and laughed, at the moment I'm ill with a chest infection, its making me so happy I've stopped, I'll get better and be happy that I'm a non smoker. I've pledged to NOPE (not one puff ever) I love putting the status SNOT up (Smoking is not an option). I've met some wonderful people here on the Quit Train where I clutch my one way ticket and glare at anyone who tries to even look at it. I look forward to some more wonderful people coming on board at new stops. I understand that some people will get off at various stations along the way, but it wont stop me from looking for them getting back on again. We all are different and we all will deal with our quits in different ways, but knowing that if I feel down, or if I want to share something, of possibly even help someone, knowing I can open up my little red laptop, press and button and Voila im on the train, well everyone who is here will understand. OMG just looking up at my wittering!! My quit has been wonderful so far and I'm looking forward to sharing some more of it. So as they say watch this space xxxx
