Hi everyone! This is my first blog so please bear with me. I started to smoke at approx 16 and I am now 51. It is hard for me to think about how much damage I have done to myself in the last 35 years. I have probably tried to stop smoking 20 times. The difference this time is every time I think of how my smoking or starting again, will effect my family, I PUSH IT OUT OF MY MIND! I am thinking of ONLY ME. What I want to do with my life, my goals, work, trips... And how disappointed I would be in myself if I did start again. I have been smoke free now for 12 days. I am using the patches and Wellbutrin. I am also leaning on the good lord for his support, and my angles mom and dad? I am using my moms nick name for my contact name. She died from emphezyma. Hope to hear from you guys as I really need the support. One of my favorite Quotes; Life is not measured by the breaths you take but rather by the moments that take your breath away. But we need to be around for those moments. Have a great day! Kitty
