Good reason to stick around
I turned 51 recently. last year I married for the first time and had my first baby. I am extremely fortunate to have met my beautiful wife who is so patient and caring, and to have an absolutely adorable baby girl, now aged 15 months. Until now I didn't truly understand what "love of my life" quite meant.
My wife would be so happy if I quite, I want my daughter to be proud of me, and I want not just to be around for a long time, but for my life with my family to be wonderful.
I have tried to quit countless times, really, countless, to the point where I sometimes thought I may never be able to. That's such a depressing thought.
But today I stubmled onto this site and I'm feeling stangely good. I've been reading the stories and following the exercises, and I've set my quit date for Saturday 12/5/18 (well, Friday night actually).
Give me strenthg.

Red-67 and Colloquial, thank you very much for your support and encouragement. In the past I've tried to do it on my own but I can see this forum being quite powerful.
I have the Allen Carr book so I'll dust it off and read it again.
Thank you.
