I need to be around for Baby!!
I'd smoked for 20+ years.. when my daughter had a baby I was holding her and realised that even though I sprayed myself.. I still smelt of cig. and so did baby.. That was my first real crack at quitting.. I didnt want to be stinky grandma! I was able to stop but around heavy smokers I caved and had one or two.. a shower and affirmations always seemed to get me back on track..
2years later.. a very close friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer and had only months to live.. It was so very heartbreaking to watch and I had the occassional smoke with her.. when she did pass away, I vowed to never smoke again in honour of D!
it lasted only months.. I had a miscarriage and got pretty depressed.. and my Excuse was that!
I fell pregnant again a few months later but couldnt seem to stop this time.. I managed to go a few times up to 3days! Now its not 1 or 3 max a day.. its a whole pack again :-(
Stupid thing is I know after the icky 3 weeks I will be OK without them!
the other day the midwife said I smelt of cig.
Bugger I hate that.. ladt night the baby sneezed all night prob due to the perfume im spraying to hide the smoke or the stench of it on me!!
Im determined to quit this time.. for me (to stop the coughing up of crap) and for baby.. for daughter #1 and for granddaughter.. even for hubby.. maybe he might stop too!!
Good luck to all..

this will be a challenge but im looking forward to it!!
not sure why the site thinks ive saved $9 a day.. try more like 15-18 a day!!
hope everyone on the quit journey is going strong !!
day 5..
hubby had a cig out the front today and the smell came through front door.. the craving hit me big time!!
wuickly grabbed a n/gum and closed door.. felt better but man was so close to caving!
love that my hair still smells great after 5 days haha!
had to ask hubby to be a bit more careful as Im not that strong :(
feeling ok but lazy.. really need to exercise but lack motivation.. having s new baby that wakes every two hours is a damn challenge but hey it wont last forever and neither will cravings!!
good luck to everyone on your journey !
