Im using a celebration icon because I think it something to celebrate. I am, once more, trying to quit smoking. I have been giving myself a pep talk all morning long while I was out running errands. I kept thinking "Ok, you only have like half a pack left and then your done." Well I got to Starbucks and decided on the spur of the moment to just throw the rest of my cigarettes out. I threw them right into the trash can! Then I stood in Starbucks, my heart started palpitating and I thought "I can NOT believe you just did that...." LOL

So please think of me and my family in the next few days. The last times I have tried to quit, I turned into meanie mom/wife....I just wasnt myself. Im not gonna tell my husband and see how long it takes for him to notice too lol Im not gonna say that I will be successful this time but I sure feel like Im gonna be :)

You can do it, Shawna! Way to go on throwing them out. My son did that w/his pacifier and there was no going bnack! lol Anyway, will be praying for your success. It is soooo good for your family in the long run. A little grumpiness is worth the years it will add to your life. And the grumpiness won't last forever!

Hang in there!

You can do it, Miss Puss. I quit 3 months ago and for about a month I was Super Evil Mom/Wife. It passes. My husband was very supportive and said he's rather have me evil than dead. Three months later I have passing thoughts like "OOh, I'd like a cigarette" but it leaves as fast as it comes. Stay strong, you can do it. Stay busy!

Woo hoo! Go, Shawna. I applaud your efforts....and I don't think it's as easy to quit smoking as some may think. Even so, you can do this! You know you can and all of us here know you can. Take it one minute at a time and know that you are doing something wonderful for your body!

Best wishes,

Amanda
