Caught a bad summer cold

Caught a bad summer cold and decided to quit smoking. My 13 year old has been on me about quitting and this cold with a bad sore throat and constant coughing has made it easy to toss the smokes! My cold is getting better but I have to stay strong and continue to not smoke as I keep my son in my thoughts. It wasn't about getting a cold that made me quit, it's about being healthy for my teenager and around for many years to come. I haven't told anyone in my family I am quitting as I don't want to be a failure. I am trying to get through the first few weeks. Today is day 3. This weekend will be tough as I sit around the campfire.

Hi there congrats so far. I too am not telling my family as I want to be proud enough after a month to tell them :) all the best
