My son
I am 56 yrs old. Started smoking at school. Tried to stop while pregnant at 43 yrs old. Had son 14 weeks prem smoking may have been a factor in that. I gave up about 3 yrs ago because of the cost & bad example for my son. Also I got tired of being a slave to the smokes, always having to get in the car when I ran out & spending money that should have been used for much more needed things. My new partner had given up as well but when we got together I had only just started again & he began again too. That was 3 yrs ago. On Mothers day we were pretty much broke so I decided what better gift could I have for this day. So I smoked my last ciggie that morning (lit it up 3 times ). I have been very tempted many times over the past 2 weeks & it has been hard at times but I am quite determined . Im looking forward to shopping for clothes & decent skincare for myself & a few treats for my boy .
Hang in there macsgal, i can so relate to some of the things you say, I took smoking back up due to stress, but in hindsight, "one was too many" such a cliche I know, but sooo damn true, my quit day is in three days, and I have 5 kids 13 and under, so we together than get thru this xoxo
Thanks donnacan,(YES YOU CAN).So Wednesday is your day? I will be thinking of you & sending my best. xoxox
Like you my son came early (7 weeks) and I smoked through his pregnancy, I'm ashamed to admit that, how horrible it must have looked, me with my big belly and a smoke in my hand. All I can say is I'm making it up to my grandchild.
Day 42, I determined that bubby will never know any smokers in he/she's life as I was the only one in my family. With the money I'm saving gonna spoil bubby big time!!!
