Events over the last couple weeks were not good for my willpower to quit, but those events, or my responses to them, have evolved into a renewed determination.
My daughter lives in Oregon with her mother, but not for long. I live in California and have been able to visit her twice in the little over a year since we parted ways. Her mom is moving to the East coast with her fiancee and taking my little girl with her.
Realizing the likelihood of a vast increase in travel costs for me to visit, let along bring my son along, I have this golden opportunity to make a change that I've been aching to make for so long, but have been afraid of.
I know that this program is mainly for cigs, but I have decided to quit smoking something else as well. I wish to lump them together under the term "smoking." Together, they have cost me in the neighborhood of $10.00 per day. My quit meter will reflect this. I can think of a few things I'd rather spend it on than being lazy, depressed and unmotivated. An extra flight to New England to see my baby girl.
*choking up*
So, as I'm sure many of you probably know, I'm going to need all the help I can get. I appreciate you all and look forward to spending a lot of time here and cleaning, reading, eating better, cleaning, excercising, cleaning, saving and traveling.
