Ok so this is my 3'ed time trying to quit smoking. I have a kid now and she is lurning at school that smoking is bad for you. Well you see it everywhere these days. She has asked me a few times to quit smoking. I never really thought about smoking the way she does. I grew up in a smokers home. My parents and brothers smoked so it just felt natrual to be a smoker myself, but hearing my 7 year old tell me that smoking is bad for  you and you can die really gave me a reality check. I want to be a good mother and teach her the right things to do in life. I do not drink and I do not do anything other then smoke. I have dedicated this year to getting my family healthy, and to compleat the year off I really want to quit smoking.
I have failed Twice before and all within the first day or so. I am really determend to quit though. I started with the Habitrol patch yesterday and found that it was not so bad. My cravings were good for about the first 12 hours. Today is a diffrent story though. I find i am more moodie and when i smell or see someone smoking I start to get agitated and my cravings get out of controll. that is when I start snapping. This is about the time I would start up again. I do not want to Snap at my daughter, and I do not want to have to send her out of the room because I can not controlle my moods. :( Quitting is harder then anything else i have done. But I am going to stick with it and see how it goes. if anyone has any advice on how to controlle some of the cravings would love some tips.
