Good for you @TAB You're very courageous!
Keep going, you'll make it. You've managed to kick a smoking habit in the past, so you got this - no problems.
My only suggestion would be to call your GP
If you need to. Don't look at it as a 'sponsor' situation,'look at it as support you will most likely need. Shit, if I had a medical professional calling me to 'check in' and then also offer for you to call if needed - I'd be so happy & grateful.
You got this @TAB

well I guess they are worried about health implications of withdrawals, plus they are aware/remembered that I live on my own. @WIP but yes, very lucky. Been going to same clinic for years(they bulk bill), circumstances lead me to seeing nearly every dr there on a regular basis at one stage, one after the other. this is the 4th, who was a protege of sorts of the 1st one 4 years ago. Empathy wins, and maybe I am a good judge. But yes I am Lucky , thanks

You are very lucky indeed @TAB Im having all sorts of trouble finding decent & helpful medical professionals. I think I've found a good GP ($40 out of pocket for 10 min session tho), but as I'm up in the air regarding a pdoc, I'm going to ask if she'll provide me scripts without always having a consultation.
I live alone too & it scares me. I had a nasty fall in the middle of the night about a month ago & it could have been much worse. It's now got me thinking even further of how alone I am.
Your GP clinic and thei support sounds awesome. You've got the right attitude to - I wish you all the best for today and the coming days.
Go @TAB s. - 😸

I'm ok @TAB
Just lots on my plate with my boy, work etc. Not juggling very well. Think age has caught up and bit stressed/emotional and can't string a sentence together by the time I'm home each night. Hope you're doing ok. Not easy, used to smoke and it took me countless attempts and years to kick the habit. Good luck buddy 👍🍀
