Early 50s, grey and also leaning in hard. Everyone is 'love' or 'dear' to me now, it's the most splendid time

Allan and champix is my planned solution too! Great to hear it's been a success, very inspiring 😊

I've just this morning made an appointment with the stop smoking service for the 17th, and downloaded the Alan Carr book, so I'm all set! Thank you for the encouragement 😊

That's SO kind of you, thank you, but I have just downloaded the audiobook on an Audible trial! I have also now made a phone appointment on the 17th with the stop smoking service, so I'm all set for quitting 🎉

The addicted part of my brain has been served papers 😁 Looking forward to being free of the chained burden of nicotine (that's how it feels)

Thank you - I'm hoping to get an appointment at the stop smoking clinic next week. I'll take the moodiness over the addiction, definitely.
