Good afternoon Ex family, I'm late updating today due to  helping out at another office, which was good because it kept me busy most of the day but so far I'm hanging in there I have had lots of cravings but not like in the beginning as each of you have said it gets easier each day...last night was rough after dinner I yelled out I wanted a cigarette and my kids distracted me by striking up a conversation about when they were little kids and they over fed the fish that turned into a longer conversation which  took my mind off smoking my girls are a great support system they also try to keep me from getting upset or irritated, I notice my voice seems hoarse or raspy , I have a  cough that's dry  and sweats here and there I can feel changes in my body which are weird and somewhat different , I must have eaten a ton of candy and went to the store late last night to get more peppermints they seem  to work very well. I'm also trying to figure out how to get this site on my phone, I don't have a PC at home that's why I only update once a day from work, so if you don't hear from me over the weekend that's why.

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.
