A journey begins with the first step...
Well , it's day one!
Re-arranged my morning ritual to avoid temptation. Have plastered the walls of the house with my reasons for quitting and the benefits fact sheet from this site. My partner smokes and says he is not ready to give up just yet. I did catch him reading all my little posters though! It feels really good to take the lead in our family and set an example for my little one.
I have a patch on and I think that's really helping.My five-year-old asked what the "window tatoo" was and I told him it was to help me not to smoke anymore. We talked about being healthier and being able to run around more and then he gave me the biggest cuddle! This year is going to be good! No more self-destructive behaviour . Happy smoke-free new year!
Dear abetter life,
Good on you. Congrats on being a non-smoker!. I am on Day 3 and pretty soon we will both be celebrating our first month free. Hang in there - its great that you are doing it while you have a little boy. My kids are older now and I would give anything to take back the smoking years. We can only look forward.
Well done.
