Why Quit?

It has come to crunch time.  Apart from the facts that my kids "pretend" to smoke, which horrifies me, I just can't afford to smoke anymore.  The biggest fear for me is that my kids see me die a painful, horrible death because I smoked.  My biggest quit fear is that I will just give in.  I too have heard all the stories, you'll crave them forever, I still love the smell, I could just have one.  My sister in law gave up for years and is now smoking like a chimney again.  I don't want this for me.  I don't want to have to think about having enough cigarettes all the time, or that I reward myself for finishing  job with a smoke but most of all, I don't want to use this as my escape from the pressures of raising a young family, who in all honesty, I should be spending this time with...possible negotiating rather than yelling at my beautiful but demanding head strong 4 year old!

I need to be able to afford to give them the best that I can.  I need to give these stupid cigarettes away for me to be able to do this.  With my finances heading down, down, down, now is the time that I need to do this. 

Wish me luck!
