My family is what I'm doing this for
I lost my Dad to lung cancer six months after losing my mobility and needing a wheelchair. I gave up for a year after, but then started smoking again. My oldest son has been on my case to stop and with the loving support of his fiance I am determined this time to stop and stay stopped. I have three sons, a daughter in law and a granddaughter to live for. I don't wish to echo my Dad's regrets.
Hi Pulse 74, I read your other comment about choosing the day the world goes to buggery, made me laugh, it often seems to be that way doesn't it for some reason, though I know it's no laughing matter. Got to stay a little humorous. I hope your day wasn't too bad. I'm so proud of you for getting through it, I think I would have given in on a difficult day being the first day and postponed it to a better one. So good on you. Actually was wondering this morning, what I would do in a really difficult situation which is bound to come along. I was doing the 'what if this happened or what if that'..how could I deal with it without cigarettes. I guess other people get through hard times without smoking so we can too! It doesn't actually help us only makes us have to deal with the hard times with less money, tired & out of breath!
