not quite there yet....

As I take my last sip of red wine and light a ciggie, I am reflecting on all of the great stories that I have just been reading...I had to apply for a new password to this site, as I hadn't visited in 2 years!! I have to say that I truly love the support and encouragement that is offered to people struggling with this horrible addiction.. I really resonated with a couple of the stories, where children are urging us to quit and have had several occasions where my son would say to me as I was buying a new pack "i thought u said u were going to quit? dont do it mum I dont want you to die!"

Horrendous right?

I have just reset my profile and have set a date & I dont intend to tell anyone in my immediate circle that I am planning to quit, because I dont want fall on my face!!

I have tried cold turkey, patches & champix (a couple of times) and really, I know that it comes down to my own mindset and willingness to see this through!!

no alcohol would definitely help, as this is a huge trigger as well as coffee, post meals etc...

I am tired of being a dirty smoker and today is the day where I get my s*** together and get serious about doing something positive for myself and my kids!

Wish me luck peeps, see you on the other side!
