An asshole boss will make you want to smoke again but then you'll just blame him for your smoking. After a month it gets much easier. Get some zyban to help you along. I should be quitting again in a week or so. Hey gael, keep it up. An asshole boss will make you want to smoke again but then you’ll just blame him for your smoking. After a month it gets much easier.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with me, but I am borderline homocidal at this point. I work for the biggest jerk of all time, and he is basically PUSHING me to smoke at this point. Its almost week 3 and I've done awesome up until this point. I'm noticing that my hands don't know what the hell is going on b/c I find myself doing funny things with them. the oral fixation situation has been replaced with foods and snacks...and yes, major belly issues! wahhhh! Maybe cold turkey isn't the best route, but I am giving it an honest effort. thanks for your quitting diary, made me feel a little more "normal". I was doing pretty well until this week.

Quit smoking using Champix (UK name) on 1st Dec 2008; since then have steadily gotten bigger around the midsection - very depressing. Can't fit into majority of my clothes. Absolutely REFUSE to take up smoking again just to get stomach/digestion back to normal. Just going to have to accept that the nicotine was what made my digestive system regular for the last 15 years, now I'm going to have to help it fix itself by doing exercise (apparently stimulates digestive movement), eating lots of fruit & veg, and upping my water intake. I don't want to take laxatives because what's the point of quitting smoking to replace those chemicals with another type that I become dependent on!?! Will phone dr & see what they say. Good luck to all ex-smokers....we're on the right track; we just need to be patient while our bodies "sort themselves out naturally"...don't quit quitting whatever you do!!! :) Hi – I’m having exactly the same issues.
