Stopping smoking - any encouragement welcome!

[Nyx]

I am going to stop smoking as of tomorrow morning. I have stopped quite a few times before, twice for over a year (I know - I'm an idiot for going back to it). My main problem is that DH smokes and I find it very, very hard not to cheat when I know he's got cigs in the house.

DH is going to stop tomorrow as well. I hope that this time we will both quit, but ...I shouldn't need him to stop - I should just do it myself and deal with it if he smokes again. I have been using him as someone to blame, I suppose.

Well, I am posting this for some support just in case! Is there anyone else who wants to stop smoking? Or anyone who will check in now and again to encourage me if I feel weak? I can do this, I know I can. I hate the way that although I am certain right now that I have really made the decision, my mind starts to go all machiavellian on me after a day or two and starts whispering excuses or 'reasons' to have just one I know there is no such thing as 'just one'.

Sorry for the essay! I have been havering about pressing 'post' on this but I really do want to not smoke ever again. So I'm going for it. Wish me luck please!

Oh yes, I'm having the wine that's a given. I had a pretty odd phone call from DH about an hour ago. I immediately looked round for my Marlboro then realised I didn't smoke any more.

Hideous dreams last night, mainly Zombie in nature which was scarey shit.
I was considering going to the all night garage (which is about three miles away and would have meant getting DD up and dressed and dragging her for a long walk) to buy a packet.
I managed to rationalise it all to myself that dead lodger couldn't possibly take over DHs body [or could he]?
Still not fancying one which is brilliant. I do have a proper cold though, I've got green snot bubbles and a horribly chesty cough. Presumably it's all the manky stuff coming out.

Am on Day 4 of Champix today, was on them last year but gave them up due to nauseous feelings, have been taking them with milk (which I absolutely loathe) and so far no full blown nausea

Day 5 for me today, am on .5mg twice daily and still taking them with milk :) how is everyone else getting on?

I am a non smoker. It's official (so far). Three days running I've not gone straight out to the garden for a ciggy.
Yesterday I had none, today' I've had none. I am also going to see my (outragiously camp) smoking cessation man. He will be very pleased.
Dreams are subsiding a bit and the cold/cough combo are improving. All in all I am very chuffed with myself.
DD, who is a bit bonkers and self obsessed - n a good way, has even noticed.

Well done RIP , absolutely fantastic!

Eight weeks of being a non smoker now! This week has been quite hard. Maybe the reality of me never smoking again has hit. I just have to keep reminding myself that the positives of not smoking outweigh the negatives.
Rips, she probably has noticed. I didn't tell DH or DDs I was stopping. After about 3 weeks I finally had a tantrum because no one had said a word. Of course, they had all noticed but didn't want to mention it because I hadn't!
Hope the dreams calm down a bit for you. I have had some very odd dreams. None of them scary, but a few very strange ones involving people that I really barely know.

I'm just on day 5 today but am not using champix or anything, very interesting to read other people are having lively dreams though..

good luck - keep it up, we can crack this, we really can.
