Share your quitting journey
Today is the day I'm declaring as my quit day. I've been fooling myself for awhile now thinking I just have an occasional habit. Truth is I've been smoking a few cigarettes nearly every day or every other day.
My dad smoked when I was little and I hated it. I would stick my head out the window or put a napkin over my mouth because I hated the way it smelled. It really bothered me. Then in 8th or 9th grade I tried it. Smoked off and on through college. Then I "mostly" quit during my twenties and early thirties. Then in my mid-thirties I started smoking more. Now here I am in my early forties smoking even more.
My son caught me smoking a few months ago and it destroyed him. He cried and said "I don't want you to die" This was such an awful situation. Still tear up when I think of how it affected him. This prevented me from smoking for two weeks then after a glass of wine (few glasses of wine) the 'occasional' habit leered its ugly head again.
I don't want to put my son through what I went through w/my dad. My dad still smokes and will die an early death because of it.
Trying to stay positive but feeling depressed I am where I am w/this smoking thing.
Today is day one. Love my kids more than smoking. Have got to kick this thing.
