Back on the wagon from 01.01.10: So my... - No Smoking Day
Back on the wagon from 01.01.10
Hi,
This is my first post. I'm planning to stop on the 1st too, as is my husband. We both have a long history of smoking and stopping smoking.
I stopped during both of my pregnancies and when my children were tiny but went back to it through the myth that is 'social smoking' I last stopped last January, for about a month then got dragged back in.
I'm aware that I'm getting to the age where it's really going to start affecting my health so I feel an urgency to give up now, but at the same time, I don't want to put myself under pressure- I know that I need to feel that I'm choosing to stop, rather than I have to.
Will be back here on Friday (the first day of the rest of my life :)) and I look forward to sharing tips and successes with you!
Good to see you back Vicki, a lot of people give up trying, good for you. Welcome to you too Newleaf and hubbie. Ready made quit buddies. What a present for the new year, smokefree. David
