Setting the date

[jennifer-knight]

Today, I decided to quit. I set my quit date for 1/1/9. here is how it happened:

I was having a cigarette today outside. Tired of freezing to have a smoke. Can't breathe. Can't think. Put the cigarette out, and came into the house. Look up and see the urn on the shelf. There are two others just like it, one at each older sister's house. Remember the large angel at Dad's. Mom's in there. Mom's in all of them. I start feeling angry. Why did she leave us? My babies are so young. My son will most likely not remember her. Can I help him remember her? See my smokes on the shelf below the urn. Irony at it's best. Gotta do something about this. I miss my Mom. I want to be there for my kids. Wishing I could have taken Mom's pain away. Is this what my children will feel if I don't quit? Get out the computer, Jeni. Use your head. Start up the computer, join Become an Ex. Inspiration? My babies and my Mommy. Do it for them. Do it for me. Do it. Do it. Do it. God D*&%, Jennifer, quit smoking.

I have set my quit date. It is 1/1/9. I will do this.

Oh Jennifer, Why wait till January? You are SO young and you have so much to quit(live) for. Like you said at the end"Do it,Just do it." Don't wait. Don't wait till 2 more months go by. We are here for you,Jennifer. Get on here as often as possible and I promise it will help.Give up ALL those nasty cigarettes that you're going to smoke if you keep on for the next 2 months. I was in a simmilor situation when I was 26 years old. I also lost my mom before I was able to give her a grandchild. So she never got to see or know my 2 beautiful daughters. I feel cheated too. Cheated out of having her in our lives for a grandma.And I know my daughters would of loved to have known her. But life sometimes isn't fair. So we just try to make the best of it. You Can Do This ! ! I know you can. It just comes with determination and committment. And look up as much stuff on smoking as possible and believe me,,,,you Will want to quit after that. Congratulations on your decision to quit...It is one of the BEST decisions you'll ever make.I promise.And one of the hardest.Hope to see you on here often..........
