I was just a kid trying to fit in and be cool. I forced myself to smoke even though it was disgusting to me. I got hooked. Addicted. Quit when I was pregnant. Smoked one the second I could get outside the hospital. Tried to quit at least ten times since. Failed. "I'll quit on my birthday" or New Years Day, my son's birthday, my anniversary, Christmas, when I find a job, but a house, lose weight etc. There is no magical, cosmic time to quit. So I just picked a random day and did it. I quit this past Monday. I'm using Nicoderm and will gradually wean off the nicotine. Yes, I'm having moments if difficulty. Trying to keep busy physically and mentally. This is probably one of the biggest challenges I've ever undertaken. I joined here to be accountable. I do not want to fail this time. And I'm scared. But hopeful. Any advice, recommendations, success stories or support you could share with me would be appreciated.
