Today is the day

20 years ago 0 +0 / -0 25

Today is the day that I have finally decided to quit smoking. It's been in the back of my mind for years but the past couple of months I really started thinking of how badly I want to lose this habit and get healthy. I've been a smoker for about 13 years and I know that I have a hard road ahead of me but I KNOW I want this and I KNOW I can do this. Wish me luck.

Bladekicked, I'm giving you a star for those beautiful 5 days, and congratulations. You're a fighter I can tell. Just keep reminding yourself why you want to become a non-smoker. Believing that you can do this is most important. Have you tried chewing gum, sugarfree candy, straws, tooth picks, just having something in your mouth and hands really help. I think you need to reward yoursel for those big 5 days.... Hang in there Bladekicked and we will hang with you....
