Thanks my mum got a call at half three this morning they said they might have a match for her but when she got to the hospital they were not healthy enough and were failing so she's back on the list .I don't want my kids seeing me like that so really need to stay off the fags it's hard and I'm having a hard time with my delightful 14 year old but I will do this

[nsd_user663_62343]

Crikey! You have a lot going on.

Teenagers are not the easiest of creatures are they? :eek: I have 3 to try and keep happy. Are you quitting cold turkey or another method?

[nsd_user663_57407]

Patches I don't think I could do ct I think I would murder someone haha x

[nsd_user663_62343]

It sounds as though you have a plan in place.

What does teen daughter think of you quitting. My kids haven't noticed lol

[nsd_user663_57407]

Lol my daughter thinks it's great she's hates me smoking,my son the lovely 14 year old hasn't noticed he's too busy slamming doors and making a mess lol .I love him really haha I hope your quit goes well for you x

Fingers crossed. You're doing brill. Especially under such pressure.

Patches worked great for me, and many others. They can work for you too

Sending best wishes to your mum.

xx

PS I'm living with teenagers too. Lol.

Tracey, sorry to hear about your mum. Hope you got through the previous day. Do take care, one day at a time.

[nsd_user663_60964]

You really do have a lot to contend with don't you Tracey? Poor you- it can't be easy. However, you're quite right in that you have very powerful motivations to quit and your children (even your son when he grows out of being Kevin the Teenager :)) will be proud of you (and will hopefully never have to worry about you the way you are having to worry about your poor mum :().

Dig in, hold on, read, post, join in and we'll all be here to support you.

Hi Tracy, my Dad had half his left lung removed due cancer from a whole adult life of smoking - that was just over a year ago and, I think, the biggest slap in the face for me to quit - just seeing him in hospital looking like a matchstick man when he'd always been my big, strong Dad, who'd only ever had an occasional cold, was heartbreaking, so I can really empathise with you, I was never lucky enough to have children but I can imagine they are the total centre of your world and they need you around for as long as possible. You can, and will, do this - good luck

[nsd_user663_62294]

Good luck on your quit and well done getting through 1st day Also sorry about your Mum, I do hope she gets the transplant she needs.

[nsd_user663_57407]

Wow thanks guys yep no excuses this time it's time to beat this filthy habit xx

[nsd_user663_2681]

So sorry your mum is poorly, wishing you all the best in your quit, good luck xxx

Hi Tracey

Hope you are braving up and congratulating yourself for having gotten thus far. You have reasons to start smoking, if you making them into reasons! But deep down you know there is NO reason. Seeing your mother so poorly, surely is a wake-up call if there ever was one. Once equipped with the right reasoning, you cannot walk away from it. You don't, god forbid, want to be in a life and death situation and have to tell yourself that it is your fault. Harsh words, apologies, but life does not do 'nice' at our wish.

Be strong for yourself and your mother. AND make your kiddies proud.

Best of luck
