Would you like a mentor?

I am new to this sight and a very very recent patch user, I have my first patch on. I smoked for 26 years and am 52 years old. Do not want to tell my husband or kids I am trying to quit incase I do not make it I do not want to let them down. Did tell my boss though.

First full day of quitting

I am trying the patches again. My last smoke was at 6:45 pm last night. I am kind of jittery right now at work, told my boss I am trying to quit after 26 years and not to fire me if I spout off.

Eye opener

I hope I can have your will power. I've only been stopped for 12 hours and can already smell smoke on other people. I did okay coming into work today, Smoking while driving was my bad point. Have not told my family, only my boss. Do not want my kids to keep saying don't you want a cig! Scared I would have to say you bet. Going to put off going to visit my mom for a week since she is a smoker, hoping that will get me through a little more time so maybe I can handled sitting with someone smoking.
