Daily Pledge, Bonfires and Quit Celebrations: Traditions born from the members
I pledge to not beat myself up for eating bad foods and not exercising, but instead, pat myself on the back for being smoke free for 3 weeks!

I pledge not to smoke for 24 hrs.
Seven days to my quit day (2/6/16). Im a little concerned about what comes after that but I will do my best to remain a non smoker 24 hrs at a time. Have my props in place and will follow the advice to get rid of stuff that will obviously trigger the urge like lighters, ashtrays, and find a new location in my house to use my laptop because I've done a lot of smoking there. Grateful this blog exists so I can lay out my struggles.
First day quitting smoking. This really sucks. I had success before using Chantix and quit for a year. I quit b/c I wanted to start a family with my husband and then we couldn't get pregnant and so I went back. Honestly, I don't even know how I got back to being a pack a day smoker. But here I am. Financially ready now for the necessary fertility treatments and I have to stop this nasty habit again. It's funny how I remained in denial for so long that I was smoking again. Well, this time around, I am using nicotine patches, mainly b/c my doctor is on vacation and I really didn't think this thing through. I know what to expect. It will suck. It will really suck. But then it will get better, and better, and better. Before I know it, the memory of being a smoker will be distant and life will be full of joy again. But now, it is a brain game and I have to beat it. No cheating. I can never pick up a cigarette again. And that makes me really really sad.
