Quitting with Nicabate® Lozenges

I went away this weekend for a girl’s weekend with a group of friends I only catch up with occasionally, so it’s generally always a big weekend. After everyone had arrived, we sat outside and had a few drinks. Everyone was smoking around me, but I decided to tell them all what I was doing and they were all so supportive and impressed. It made me feel great, and made me even more determined to see this through.

Something I noticed watching the other girls, was how much a cigarette break interferes with your life. Every time they wanted to smoke, they had to leave the restaurant, bar or club for five minutes. I guess I never realised how often you had to interrupt what you were doing, just to smoke. When we got back to where we were staying, we all sat around and had a few drinks, and it was honestly the first time that night that I’d felt like a cigarette. I had a Nicabate lozenge, went to bed, and woke up the next morning feeling great.

I have put on a little weight, which is the first negative thing I’ve noticed since giving up, but it’s something I expected. I’ve found that I have to remind myself to have a Nicabate lozenge – I think I’ve been replacing these with food, which is something I’m going to need to focus on.
