Everybody Knows That Smokin Ain't

Allowed in School... Smoking in the Boys' Room... Smokin' in the Boys' Room... Now Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules, everybody knows that smoking ain't allowed in school....

So, I'm quitting smoking, ladies. Yay. Yippee. I know it's bad. I've always known it's bad. It causes lots of health problems, blah, blah, blah. It stinks. It stains my teeth, fingers, and everything else it comes into contact with.

I'm quitting because of many things, including the ones listed above. But my major motivator RIGHT NOW is my kids, my sax, and money. Whatever works, I guess, as long as I quit.

So, I'm fully into day 2 of no smoking AT ALL (I cut down drastically in preparation), and it's HARD.

I'll be posting a lot more, probably, to give myself something to do, haha...

Hi, and welcome, officially! Thanks so much!

I always swore I'd never quit, even though everyone who smokes has plenty of reasons to quit. Now I swear I won't be a "nagger" who tries to get everyone else to quit.

I can't say I've quit yet (Lord knows I've tried enough times).... someone I work with who hasn't smoked in 20 years told me today (today was a LOT harder than yesterday) that "the first 5 years or so was the hardest".... made me laugh, made me cringe, made me know that I CAN do this, since so many other people have.

I just know that, like any addiction, you have to want to quit, you have to be ready to quit, and you have to totally be committed, with a good support system in place.
