what a journey..

I quit for 4 months and felt great!! Then i thiught i can hve the odd cig here and there. Well that was one huge mistake. I fell back into the routine and addiction quit fast. It didnt take long before i began smoking like i always had. All along ive thought i dont miss smoking. Now that i started again i kept thinking i dont enjoy it why did i start again?!
I successfully encouraged my dad and hes quit! He quit on the 23rd of nov and ironically i fell pregnant on the same day ( i always worried he wouldnt be arpund to meet his grandchild ) so i found the timing very ironic!
So I've been smoking again since jan.. 4 months. I wiuld be celebrating 8 months smoke free but instead i look back and think i wasted 4 months smoking. Yesturday my partner took my cigarettes and lighter without me knowing and hid them. I tols him it wasnt very suttle but he has a good point and he is right!. So today is day two. I feel like i need one last cig to say goodbye to the old habit. But i really need to stay on track this time. For my family.

valuable insight in to the thoughts of a smoker :) nothing is wasted here and thank you for sharing your journey with us. well done on the days smoke free!

Are you pregnant and smoking? Listen to your partner. There is no one last cigarette. It is the first of many more you will have...

Do it now for your future baby. I think that when I was in the womb, I became a nicotine addict. Or more able to be that way. Don't do it your baby.
Thank you for stopping on its behalf.
