stay focus on why you wanted to quit

I have tryed to quit 3 times before, and this time i really truely want to quit for me. Before when i tryed to quit i was doing it for other people and i think i made it easier to smoke again because i always said "i didn't want to quit you made me' excuses. But now things are different My father passed due to lung and throat cancer and i saw him suffer, once an outgoing person was stuck in a wheel chair and an oxygen machine plus so many doctor's appointments and medication. I miss my dad everyday.
Today is the day i quit and its hard but i have to stay focus, failing is not an options and plus my memory of my dad and how much i miss him pushes me through. I have faith that i can do this and today marks the day i became a NON-SMOKER. One day at a time i will beat this habbit and i will not allow the niccotine to rule my LIFE anyone.
I PROUD TO SAY DAY 1 OF BEING A NON-SMOKER

Thank you so much I didn't realize that words of encouragement can bring me to tears thank you so much and yes day two completed. Just about went outside for a smoke out of habit but I stopped myself and said 'you don't smoke anymore' DAY TWO SMOKE FREE

One day at a time. Actually, in the beginning I just tried to get through each minute. Every minute that you don't smoke is a victory, and then your victories start adding up into hours, and your hours into days. Hang in there - it is HARD, but you'll get through.

It is so hard, it's like fighting a war that no one call hear. and every time i want a smoke i go do something else. Bt want i think is helping me is that i know i dont want to smoke any more.
One step at a time. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH

I am so sick of doing Day 1 over and over again. If I'd stuck with it before I wouldn't have to keep on doing this to myself. It would be over and done with. That's where I want to be- proud of myself. Good luck with it Haani.
