03.06.12 - Over 5 months now. Once I have made it 6 months I will mark this as done.

02.04.12 - 9 weeks woohoo!!

08.03.12 - Still going strong! It is making task #6 much easier. The difference in my ability to persevere at the gym is unreal. I can run etc. without feeling like I can't breathe.

12.02.2012 - Ok nearly 2 weeks now. Hasn't been too bad overall, a few wobbly moments but still off them. Whenever I am stressed/sick/upset though my first thought is to have a cigarette...

02.02.2012 - Day 4. Still off them. Today and yesterday were tough. Sleeping much better at night now.

Interesting: The physical addiction to nicotine is overcome after just four days. After that you're looking at unwinding the psychological habit for up to 4 weeks - as it generally takes 4 weeks to change any habit.

30.01.12 - Day 1. Using NiQuitin lozenges. So far, so good...
