The End of Smoking

Well after many months of consideration I decided to kick the habit and quit. I am on day 2 of not smoking, and it is definitely hard, but I know I will do it. I am looking forward to better days where the cravings die down. Everyone asks me what my motivation to quit is, so I decided to share. First off they cost a lot of money, and it is money we do not have. Second, I do not want my daughter to see mommy and daddy smoking and thinking it is okay as she grows. Third, I have dear family members who are struggling with cancer, and I don't know how I can say I support them and have them truly believe me since I was slowly killing myself by smoking. So I do this for me, my daughter, and my cousin Bobby. I know it is the best decision I have made in awhile, but I will not lie, it is very difficult. It is nice to have a toddler though who keeps me super busy to keep me moving. I also am proud to say my husband is joining me in the process. I am beyond thrilled that he decided to quit with me because I love him with all my heart, and I want us to be old and gray together enjoying our grandchildren. I want us also to rediscover things we enjoy besides smoking. So the good fight is in progress, and hopefully with friends and family to keep me busy these first few weeks, it won't be too painful. Thank you everyone who supports me and is willing to be there for me. Your kindness is overwhelming and touching.
