I want to thank everyone for their support and kind words yesterday. I am not sure if between getting my emotions off of my chest yesterday and reading all of the love first thing this morning and being able to carry that support with me all day had anything to do with it (I"m super sure it did!!!!), however, today was a much better day....Although it is a Monday and it is the beginning of a super crazy week at work, I really did not have the anxiousness that I had previously and I really didn't think too much about smoking...I tried spending as much time as I could on this site (mostly trying to familiarize myself with it and try and continue to set up my profile), but I did manage to do the daily pledge and jump on the train,....I have to admit that trying to do this on my own without support has been a lonely road, so having people who are familiar with my struggle, because it was also their struggle, I believe will make a huge difference in this 2017 quit, which hopefully will be my last....As I've been reminded by some pretty brilliant folks here, just one day at a time, one breathe at a time and most of all....NOPE!!! So thank you everyone again!!! I hope to be able to give back to others as you have given to me......

I began smoking, stealing mom's cigs out of her purse at 13 years old. I have quit a million times before, my first serious quit when I was in my 30's and that quit lasted a little over 7 years....after halfheartedly plenty of other quits lasting from 1/2 days to maybe a week or so, I am hoping this next attempt is my last...As someone who has become an expert in cigarette withdrawals, I'm getting kind of sick of it and this time I am looking for support from this site....
