souvenir - you go back to 2 weeks at half dose to wean yourself off of them so the course is 12 weeks in total but by then i had started to forget to take the tablets anyway. when i realised i had missed 2or 3 days i jsut stopped taking them and certainly had no desire to smoke and still dont having finished the tablets in June . i still feel nostalgic about smoking and miss the feeling of pleasure you get from lighting up but know that i can not have just one . i have no craving or urges though and can go outside with friends who still smoke without feeling tempted. i think its a win - win as there are no side effects with the tablets so if it doesnt work you have lost nothing . my gp told me success rate is about 75% so doesnt work for everybody but still very good compared to many other methods.

i had a polo mint every time i had a craving and it worked really well...had to wean myself off the polos mind you but still. used to get the shakes from the sugar.

i also tried to remember an occasion when i felt utterly shitty and chesty/wheezy after a night out and then tried to focus on that feeling whenever I felt weak.
