Getting ready

To get ready for my quit date, I bought a supply of nicotine patches, reminded myself often of my motivators and told myself that this time I would be strong enough to do it. I told my hubby who was quite sceptical, as I had tried to quit once a year for the last 6 years and failed. He finally believed how serious I was about it once I listed my reasons for quitting. Chest pain, very expensive to smoke, wanted to put the money towards saving for a deposit for a house instead, tired of coughing and being smoke-smelly, wanting to be healthier and fitter. I also grabbed a supply of healthy snacks and fruit from the shops to help with cravings. Hubby then told me he would quit with me on the same day.
