After a while you can taste other peoples smoke, and it doesn't taste good. It tastes foul. I see others smoking in lonely corners behind buildings. I know I can't help them, I know exactly what I would have thought when I smoked if some stranger had come and lectured me.

The decision is yours and yours alone.

Even though I used champix, it was the third time I have done so. I completed that program some months ago.

I have found I have had to reinvent my thought processes. I am becoming one of those people you all know who is disgusted by the smell and taste of cigarettes. I have HAD to do this because I loved them so much, at least, I thought I did.

You see, what really helped me was the realisation that I never really liked them anyway. I never imagined that it was the drug itself that changed my brain into thinking that I liked it. That's what nicotine does.

We falter, we fall, we get back up again. Dont beat yourself up if you have a setback, it's an addiction not some little phase. Some people can quite at the drop of a hat but for most of us it is a HARD HARD road.

It really is worth it, I feel better and better every day and you can too, you really can.

As long as you keep trying you haven't failed.
