I really want this for myself

My most successful attempt so far lasted 10 weeks back in 2012.  After looking at my page again after so long I noticed I could have saved almost $20,000.00!  A fight with my previous partner sent me smoking again back then.  I have had other attempts, but I guess I get to the point when I feel like I just can't do this....it's too hard.  I really want to quit this time and am going to accept all the help that is available to me. I have set my quit date as my 41st birthday...a gift to myself, to do something that I have always wanted to do, but never felt that I could actually achieve.  It's been great seeing the support and stories shared on this website.

Good for u! Develop a plan and go for it! You know, when you are 40 you still look young, but just wait until you are 50, one of two things will happen - if u keep smoking you will have those ugly smokers lines around your mouth and your complexion will gray and you will look much older than your years. If you quit now, you will still look great at 50. I know because I smoked past 50 and now the damage is done and I can't reverse it even though I have now quit for 130 days. So do your health, your wallet and your face a big favour and quit now - you will be sooooo happy and proud of yourself! You can do this! All the best to you!
