Smoke Stop

Day 3 - 1.40pm

I feel a bit tearful. I really enjoyed my work this morning, and did not suffer any real cravings.

I was looking forward to my SmokeStop nurse giving me a call, so we could chat through my first three days without cigarettes.

Obviously, I work in an open plan office and telephone calls end up being routed all over the place. I thought I'd told people to fetch me from the canteen, if she called while I was eating my lunch.

At 1.24pm I returned to my desk to find a note saying she'd called at 1.22pm and would call back - on Monday!

I immediately telephoned her, but she had apparently left the surgery. I wanted to cry.

In fact, I feel likre a c igarette!
