There's NO good Reason ......

To ever pick up a cigarette!

My youngest daughter who has BPD  (Borderline Personality Disorder)  challenged my quit, but my quit won!  

I thought about it ever so briefly, how easy it would have been to calm myself by smoking, but then I would have lost all my days that I have behind me!  It did come to mind though, and I even talked about it to my significant other!  

This girl is one of our biggest challenges, and if I ever failed, it would be because of her.  But, I know I won't fail!  If I won the battle of that thought yesterday, I will continue to win it with anything else that comes my way.....because I know this, and you should too.....picking up a cigarette in times of stress is not going to do anything but blow your quit, and cause you to have to start all over!  And as soon as you would put that nasty thing out, the stress would still be there.  

So keep telling yourself that!  There is NO GOOD REASON TO EVER PICK UP A CIGARETTE! 

EVER!

I'm an active 55 year old woman, who loves hanging with my family. I have 5 children 2 of them married, and 4 grand children. They are all my whole world. UPDATE 8/21/23 Now 61 years and have 2 more grandsons to add to the crew! My hobbies are bike riding, golfing, bowling, kayaking, painting (canvas or rocks) and gardening (getting the hang of it finally) I have smoked since I was 13 yrs old, and quit one time within the last ten years for a total of 9 months. Stress took me back to smoking. My life has been stress free for the last couple of years. Divorced for 2 years now, but back together with my Ex (husband) for a year now. It's time, I'm ready, and I quit! So far it's been pretty easy, so I'm very optimistic about this being my final quit! Thanks in advance for all the support! 2023 - Update: I now have 2 more grandbabies for a total of 6 and still smoke free! They will never get to know me as a smoker!!!!!!
