Hi, Yes I am new to the site. well I had registered a bit ago, but this is my first post.
In Early october My husband and I decided to adopt. And well most people/agencies will not adopt to smokers. So I finally after 12 previous quit smoking trys have done it successfully, and with out any patches, but, or meds.
The Day we decided to officially adopt I knew I have to Quit. I finished my pack I had. and did not enter a gas station again for 4 weeks so I would not be tempted to get a pack.
The first few weeks were rough, expecially on my husband, a Non smoker. But I did it. My previous attempts at quitting smoking did not work, and I now know why. I didnt have a reason, a want stronger than smoking to make me want to stop. I want to adopt more than I want to smoke, and that is what made it happen for me.
So I have not smoked since OCT 3rd 2011. And I hope to keep it that way and enjoy the money I save along with my Future child.
