Did it again...

Today was my sons 25th birthday. Which is great, but not for me. I haven't spoken to him for 8 years and to this day I don't know why. I send him a card every year. I don't know if he reads it or throws it away. I sat and cried. Then I caved and bought a pack of cigs. Got home, smoked 2 and called the Quit Line. I talked to them for about 45 min. We have reset my quit date to fri the 23rd, getting patches, and thinking about me, no one else. They are going to call and coach me each week. Everyone please pray for me. I do a lot of praying for the willpower to do this. I'm 100% sure I can write that I will be a week smoke free next week!

you can do it shady i belive in you! keepyour chin up and it will happen
Im onmy second day smoke free so we can help each other if you like :)

I appreciate you leaving me a message. I think it would be great if we could do this together.

Good luck tomorrow Shady. It's hard and challenging but using this website and being determined will help. I always think it is not something I have to do (like a chore or work) but it is something I have not to do. Sometimes that helps.

Fullofhope that makes a lot of sence. By worthy2015 are we going to be buddies? I could really use one. I need all the encouragement and support I can get!

Hi Shady02, you have just taken the huge "leap" and all of us are here to help and encourage…… YOU are the most important person in your life,we as human beans cannot care about anyone else until we sort our own out. Go for it it is not easy but 1 fantastic thing to do for you…..As you progress you will start to believe in your own ability and your strengths
And remember If you light up because of your son's stubbornness it is NOT going to help anyway YOU CAN DO IT
