[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 701763, member: 77"] I really appreciate the input from all of you. At the moment I am really and truly struggling, and fantasizing about how and when to have a cigarette. I think I am quite near to giving in, and I hope I manage to get through each day as it comes without smoking. It isn't getting better -- yet. It seems to be getting worse by the day, and I am very very bad-tempered and depressed. Susie, maybe I need to find another support group. The one I went to was only for six sessions. But yes, it was free on our Health Fund program, and I think I can find another group -- if I try!!! Susie, the financial gain is one of the ways they tried to motivate us in the support group, and we had to work out how much we had been spending each year, and then say what we planned to do at the end of the year, and yes you are right, I said I would spend it on going to visit Oriel in Australia!!! Tomorrow I think I am going to start the Champix again. We will see. It won't hurt me to feel nauseous and to stop eating so much -- with all our Jewish festivals I feel I have eaten so much and I feel quite bloated. It's time to lose some weight. GoingNorth, apropos Jewish festivals: No, I do not enjoy Sukkot. I hate it. I get very nasty. My husband really loves it and puts so much effort into building it and furnishing it (!!) and making it comfortable. I tell him to go and play in his "tree house" like a kid. All the children and grandchildren come to visit -- not all at the same time thank heavens, but when they come it means staying overnight because we don't travel etc. etc. So I have had to do loads of shopping and loads of cooking and baking. Can't be helped. My kids are good and they help, and some of them bring some food, but it is all such a pain. And they always fix one day when we do a barbecue here (we live on the ground floor and have direct access to the garden), and on that day they all come. We used that day as an excuse for cutting the hair of one grandson who reached the grand age of three, and to welcome his little sister who had just been born, so it was actually a really lovely get-together. I won't bore you with any more details, but I really am happy that we will now have a few months of routine, boring routine, and winter weather. That's what I love. OK, I hear what you say. So I won't start "vaping" but I have heard that there is some kind of cigarette shaped thing into which you put liquid peppermint toothpaste or something like that. I am going to look for it. Thanks anyway. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
