I want to be able to exercise again and feel like I can breath, I don't want my mouth to taste like an ashtray anymore,I want to be able to hug my grandchildren and not smell like cigarettes.I don't want to worry that I will be a burden to my grown children one day in the future because of this dirty habit I'm so ready for this but it has been very tough.

Yep moonlight unfortunately it is tough but it is also really worth it😊

This is the best decision you can make for your future health and yes your grandchildren will benefit greatly as well👍🏼

When I was struggling in the early days of my quit I used to think of my grandchildren and that really kept me going and it will keep you going as well. Stay determined and you will do it😊x

Monday July 13 was my quit day.It has been really tough, but I know if I stick it out it will get easier.Is it that I"m more sensitive to what family members say, or are they just being insensitive I have some time off from work and feel this is the time to quit. when I take the dogs out I smoke, when I feed the chickens or feed the fish in the pond I would smoke, if I would prepare for a task, I would smoke. I was smoking a pack a day, not in the house, only outside. when I have a craving I get on the internet, seems to help.but yes I like to look up where I"m at with the healing process.

People who have never smoked have no idea how difficult this addiction is to kick. That's why this site is so brilliant as each and every one of us have been where you are now and understand how hard it is. Take one day at a time and believe in yourself and your own ability to do this. Stay strong and you will retrain your brain to handle all these situations as a non smoker😊x
