Dont give up
Here I go again. I'm 42 next week and I've done this seriously 3 times before, which was each time I fell pregnant. I lasted 12 months with the first 2 kids and 2 years with the third. I really thought I had it beat. Knowing that even after 2 years of not smoking I can still light up scares me, can I trust myself to fight it (for the rest of my life). Then my 11 year old reminds me that that wont be for very long if I dont give up now. It has really sunken in now that I may not be alive to see my kids get married and have their own children and the anquish I would cause them if I had to tell them I am dying of a smoking related disease. Why would I choose death over seeing my kids grow. Cigarettes really do screw with your brain. Now I have put this in writing I am more determined than ever.
Hi thistimeiwill, there is no fight to be fought really, smoking is nothing, it is an addiction that is fueled only by you....yeah and of course you are going to choose your children over anything in this life...good on you for not being fooled anymore and wanting to enjoy your full potential....stay positive and remeber each day you will be cleaner and stronger.
Hi thistimeiwill, i completely believe you will do it for good this time.
Dont be too hard on yourself for the past because its over and what matters now is how well you will do this time.
Good luck, stay strong and you will get there!
Hry Yeah Thistimeiwill, I know what your saying, I actually gave up throught both my pregancy's and stoped for 15months after my daughter the bang back on it. Now that was 14 years ago. Then the same for my son and that was eleven years ago. i have still been trying and trying and now I've hit 18 days and Im gunna keep on going. You will do it this time. Think positive remember you have control keep saying that to yourself you have control not those cigarettes. Thats what I keep saying to myself. I have just spoilt myself and joined a gym and I looking forward to each afternoon I go now. Not standing out there smokeing and wasting my money. You go girl this time you will. Its now all about you remember that.
