i am , i can , i will

Well here goes. just over 24hrs since my last cigarette and i am feeling great at the moment. i have been here before. this quitting thing. three years as a non smoker.

Did i plan to quit this time? Kind of, not at all. It was a new years resolution on the first day of 2014 to my 3 children. And here i am in March giving it a go for the first time this year.

As i was finishing my last cigarette of the packet , i was putting my joggers on and telling the kids to do the same. I picked up the car keys and as i did, i sat back down at the outside table. i asked my youngest. Miss 6 "should i go to the shops and buy more smokes or should i quit? thats it , just give up" . i dont have to tell you the answer , you already know my 6 year old knows whats best for me.

and thats it. trying to stay calm and relaxed. if i get a craving or feel like im going to cry because i cannot have a smoke i run on the spot for as long as i can even if just one song. i am not fit by any means . i am over 100kgs. but i am , i can and i will quit.

because i can :)
