Hello all I wish you Luck in trying . I guess I'm here to join in. I am 45 and I started smoking at age 17 The only time I have quit is when I was pregnant. Lately I have gave a lot of thought to stop smoking and I do this every year, But this year its been different Its been on my mind day and Night. I do love my cigs But not more then My life. Last week my daughters ex boyfriends mother died . Her lungs Collapsed.........My daughter called me and said Mom please don't do this to me. Well those words have really stuck with me and I have been thinking how many times has my Hubby and children asked me to quit and yet I still lit up. Well I do get short of breath and I have tried to quit before only to end up smoking more. This has really been heavy on my mind and Yes im going to quit I have took my last pack and spreaded it out to last me a few days And Today I'm with out one. and yes its so hard. and no im not going back. I'm headed the right way and I dare to turn around. I want to be here for my children , I want to grow old with my Hubby . I want to watch my Grandchildren come into the world and watch them grow. I want to be here for my Yorkies. My family is my world . So why Have I given it to these nasty cigs? I have asked myself that over and over and today. I walk away from them and Plan to live as long as I can and as healthy as I can. I also wanted to say. Today my son is also quiting and My mom called and she to is quiting and My sister is going to try too. wow why didnt we do this a long time ago? They all said if you can then we are too.
