I have been a smoker for 20 years I quit 2 times in the past 10 and both of them were when I wanted to get pregnant with my son who is going to be 9 in Oct. and then I started up again 16 months later after he was born. Then I quit in 2003 when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. I quit for 4 years and decided I could smoke for one weekend while at a wedding and I haven't stopped since. Well my 2 friends and I are quitting together. I just cannot ever pick one up again!

The day has come to BREAK THE HABIT!

Well my quit day has come and Iam doing alright considering I have only been up 25 mins. But that is ok. Last night I had my last cigarette at 11:05. I ended up smoking 2 of them in a row and I got so sick to my stomach and I got such a head rush on the second one it really help me think about it more of what I am doing with my health.

I know this is not going to be easy and I know I had a road ahead of me of fighting cravings and stress and learning how to do other things instead of smoke. The really good thing is I am going to have alot more time on my hands, I have a craft I am making my daughter that is a latch hook so I am going to start doing that again today. Of course I have cleaning to do, so that will help me and if I chill out I don't have to come down stairs in the middle of a show or after a show is over to smoke.

I also am going to get myself into exercising again I was execising while I smoked Jan- July to lose 50lbs so now imagine how great it is going to be not smoking before or after I exercise. I have to tell myself this stuff it keeps me m0tivated but my biggest motivation in my kids and my husband. I am quitting for myself because I am the only one I can do it for BUT I focus on how happy my kids were last night when I read my pledge to them and how proud they were of me. Mind you I know I am the adult but to have my children look at me and be so proud it would make any parent feel good. My husband does not nag me he really doesn't say much to me once in a while he'll say so when are you quitting that and then it is drop, or he throws out there of how much money we can save if I stop and I know this but he doesn't do meanly ever, and he doesn't do it often. Is he going to be happy I quit definitely. Well I am going to go for now but I will be back again today I have this feeling so talk to you all later.

Have a good day!
