Here is my first blog post on this site. I hope it provides some support for those who are at or near this point. I have 620 days 🙂 You CAN!
"I'm so glad I discovered this site! After a few days nicotine free I had an "I've licked it" attitude, but I realize now after 3 weeks that I am still vulnerable and that the old addiction can grab me if I let it. I first started smoking in my late teens (like many of us) and have had several attempts at quitting - one lasting over 3 years. I am determined to make this the last attempt. I keep remembering my Mother in her last days... she died of many complications - one of which was small cell carcenoma. That's a fancy name for lung cancer. The image of her is with me always. Message to Mom: Our smoking was pretty much the only thing we had in common. I don't want to spend my last days the way you did. I don't want my son to have to change my diapers. I know you would be proud of me, Mom. I'm doing it!!"
