why go through all of the torture if you don t have too? I started with the second stage patches and I m still using them. come to think of it why do I always choose the more painful way in life? I was determined to have my first child without any pain meds? I quit smoking cold turkey twice before and had a terrible time, It s just nice to be nice to yourself, This is so much easier then before. I just have to be on guard that complacency doesn t set in. I m renewing my mind with the Allen Carr book. the easy way to quit smoking, I think I m doing all the right things this time. It s just easy this time and I am so greatful for that. have a good weekend enjoying your new found freedom everyone!
