Bloody hard but worth it

I posted several months ago saying I was pregnant and struggling to quit. I am happy to say my baby boy is born. After 2/3 months of staying quit I didn't have any cravings or thoughts about smoking.
Since having a baby, sometimes I really crave. One time I was so overwhelmed, I got in the car to intentionally buy cigarettes.
The only thing that worked was going down the baby aisle and really concentrating on my son. I usually end up buying something for him.
I just want to let everyone know, it does get easier. I quit for my baby at first but now I quit for my family.
I would also utilise quitline. They are amazing, supportive and patient. Do what you can (within reason) to make quitting easier.
Good luck everyone!

Keep on the right track. You are doing great and have an excellent motivator. Hold your son near and dear, for he is your future and smoking is a thing of the past. Do this for you as well, and reward yourself too. Remember that you are losing nothing and gaining everything!
