i want to be able to breath easy again

this will be quit try number 4. must quit for my sake my kids sake and for the money i will save. i am ready i think, really i am. i want to live..... a long and happy life and if i keep this up and stay quit this time i will be laughing not choking. I am leaving little notes to myself so i remember to not light up as it comes so natural to get up and light up, i have been smoking for like over 20years, and i dont want to know how much money ive wasted over those years all i know is i dont want to waste not even 1 more day so here goes. im cutting down for the first 10 days then day 11 will be the day i dont touch another smoke for the rest of my life LORD PLEASE HELP ME OVER MY JOURNEY..... To be continued......

they say it can take a few attempts at quitting. this is my second (my first being 4 yrs ago). i too am cutting down (tried going cold turkey over the last couple of days hasnt worked for me). i have four children so i understand your reasons for quitting, but your main reason (this is only my opinion) should be for you. for your health.
the funny thing about having kids, i gave up a lot of things when i found out i was pregnant with number 1. the only thing i didnt stop was smoking, i ask myself everyday why. why didnt i stop doing the one thing that is so unhealthy for myself and my children.
good luck with your attempt, i hope you do really really well! take care now
