My Morning started off ok I woke up at 5:30 am normally I would get out of bed and go downstairs outside and smoke a cigarette today I laid in bed prayed and then got out of bed, I dressed and left for work, On my way to work I started feeling all kinds of emotions and getting very irritated I felt like I wanted to cry, so I started breathing and  I prayed again, once at work I sat down with a Co-worker who quit smoking about 2 years ago when she had a heart attack I told her I quit and she has been checking on me and being very supportive, to be honest, I really want to scream! and say F it! just smoke but I realize that smoking has taken control over my life and I want that control back and I understand in order to get my life back I have to stay firm and true to myself!  ...I also thank you guys for all your support I appreciate all of you..so back to work I go and I will give you guys a progress report later today!

My Name is Tyra I'm a 47 year old mother of 4 Daughter's ages 25, 21 and 15 year old twins i'm also the Grandmother of two Grandson's ages 4 and 9mo. I started smoking at the age of 15, I have not really tried to quit but I know i have too and even though i'm scared as hell to cut the cigarettes out of my life I know it's time to end the friendship. My quit date is approaching and i can't believe how nervous i am, I feel like i'm losing a friend (dose that sound crazy?) I have come to realize that smoking is just as addicting as any other drug and has control over my life and i want to take that control back.
