Hello, I'm new here. I found this site through a parenting magazine. I'm glad I found it. I'm on day 3 quit and feeling ok. I smoked for 25 years. I'm using the patch and cravings are manageable. And when they are not I take a look at all my quit reasons and that snaps me back. I know from past experiences that smoking will not help anything! That I know!!
I'm wondering if there are any older moms out there who have young children. I'm 45 years old, on my own, and mama to my daughter who's 2 years old. I am committed to my quit. I want to be around for her. I'm reading a lot on nicotine addiction, the physical and mental aspects. But my patience and tolerance with her is small. She doesn't understand and I feel terrible when I get cranky at her.
Anyone have any advice and support would be welcomed! Thank you, Amy
