Well here I go!! today i'm quitting smoking because i'm as poor as a church mouse.  I'm not working which is a stressor because I don't have any money and i'm not working because I'm stressed.  So the viscious cycle begins.  Here is my ump-teenth try as quitting but I don't have any money to  buy smokes so it's a convenient excuse to give up.  It's been 12 hours since I had a smoke and I'm feeling the pinch, hopefully I won't be too much of a grinch today as my boys are helping me paint the lounge room.  I wouldn't want to be in there shoes today!  My youngest son [who's 20] is quitting with me, so how much fun is it going to be with the two of us?  Oh well it shouldn't last long.  I'm going cold turkey cause I don't have money to buy any products to help me quit.  I'll keep up the diary and see how we go.  bye for now signing out "middle aged woman with no money"

You are stopping for the wrong reason. If money is coming in you will be tempted to smoke again. Your health should be the priority and the way you smell and the way you look etc etc. I wish you find the strengt but if you like to read about a miracle you may read my story under "luckyone"

Your reasons will always be the best reasons for Quiting. You may collect lots. I had forty different reasons why I smoked fifty five a day. I have found about thirty other pastimes to get down to one.
