My Reasons to quit

[atmccary]

I've always thought that I wasn't meant to smoke, but the only time I've not smoked was when I was pregnant.  I hid it from my family for many years and when my drinking began its daily life, I didn't care if they knew or not.  I've been able to not drink with help, and I am excited about living a life without the chains of nicotine around my neck, too.  I'm 41, have 3 boys, and have been married for 19 years.  Though my relationship with my husband is strained and I wonder how long it'll continue, I want to quit for me.  I didn't quit drinking until I decided I would quit for me.  Cigarettes are different some how.  I don't know why.  Today I've smoked 4 so far, and each has tasted aweful, of course they've tasted aweful for a while.  I am reading Allen Carr's book and am getting a different feel for reasons to quit.  Like; it is exciting to be an Ex-smoker.  It's close and I can feel it. 

So, that's a little bit about me.  I'm excited to start this journey.
