I will do this for my family

For years I have been promising I'll give up one day. Well the "one day" has finally arrived. My kids often ask me "why do you smoke mum, we don't want you to get cancer". My time of being selfish is now over. I am so determined to quit. When they doctor told me my lung capacity is 73%, it was a bit of a wake up call. I just have to keep telling myself I can do this. Here's hoping I can quit this filthy habit for good.

Hi Missy, good for you. Your "day has finally arrived". You on Champix or anything?
That wake up call is your daily reminder to quit. This forum is here to help also.
I've smoked a pack a day for 39 years and am on day 41 with my brand new life.
Good luck, this website forum knows you can do it.

Good Luck MissyC, keep reading everyones stories. I find them a great way to keep on track. I have only just made day 7 but like you i want to quit for good this time. Lets all do it together like Bea444 said. We control our lifes not them. Good luck!
