The day I quit

My name is Teresa, I’m 59 and will beat this. I woke up on the 28/7/18, I thought I’ve got 4 ciggies in my packet I’m going to stop today. Well after 45 years of smoking, I’m still going 43 days today......it’s tuff, I keep reminding myself everyday you can do this, some days are ok others I struggle. But I’m damn determined to do this, I love being able to answer no when someone asks “do you smoke”. I’d love to chat to others that are on their journey and share support and encouragement.

Thanks Robn, good on you, 148 days gives me encouragement thanks for that, you’re right it’s our choice if we light up again.... I just can’t I can no longer afford or justify spending over $40 a day, what for to just smoke I think of all the wonderful things I can be doing with that money not to mention the health benefits.
