Surprised myself

I spent the day yesterday running errands and going to doctor's appointments. This is a time where I would've normally smoked a cigarette before getting out of my car and again getting back into my car. There were many moments I reached to roll down my window or reach where my cigarettes used to sit... but I pushed through the cravings and the comfort those moments once brought me.

I was even able to spend time on the phone last night without slipping. And to go into a gas station this morning without asking for a pack...

I think I've reached a point where, even though I miss it, I know it would not be enjoyable to smoke. Not only would I feel disappointed in myself and let those who are there for me down, I believe it wouldn't even taste good and would probably make me cough and very dizzy and lightheaded at this point. Day 10!

{10.17.2016} I am 32 years old and started smoking at 13 years old. I've attempted to quit many times over the years but it wasn't until Oct 2017 that I felt I was really ready. I did it for my boyfriend, he does not smoke and hates that I do, and the possibility of a family someday. 1.25.2017~ I am 100 days into my quit and smoke free! I also recently learned I am pregnant! If not for this site my quit would not have been a reality. 5.11.2017~ I am over 200 days quit and almost halfway through my pregnancy. We found out that our baby is a little girl. I am beyond ecstatic to be living life with the man I love and a beautiful baby girl who will make us a family.
