supertinkswell Jamie's failed his first hurdle.
the withdrawal symptoms were too much. he was getting increasingly angry and irate, snapping at anyone for anything, and was becoming afraid of losing control and lashing out. so he has decided to go for a different method. he is smoking this evening - it was remarkable to see the effect it had, instant calming, he was like a totally different person. although we have banned him from smoking inside the house - he is forced out into the icy cold garden, all by himself.
tomorrow, while we are in town taking me to the Dentist (*shudder*) he is going to go to Boots and get some form of Nicotine replacement - most likely gum, as he has tried patches before to no effect.
what is good though, is that mentally, he is determined to beat this. he wants to quit. which was one of the main hurdles we had to face here. I am a little disappointed that he couldnt do it this time, but i am glad he is determined and stuff.
