Description

I just turned 50 years old. I have smoked since I was 13. I quit for 6 - 8 months each time I got pregnant. I also had an 8 month quit 7 years ago. I decided when I turned 49 that I would quit smoking when I was 50 so I have spent a year trying to prepare myself mentally for this quit.  My quit date was December 27, 2010. I have 3 young adult children that I raised by myself and that still live with me. I have a new job that I started in August 2010 and that I like a lot. I like to drink beer and flirted with that addiction when my 3 kids were teenagers. Now that they have outgrown the terrible teenage years, I have also outgrown my need to drink, but I still drink when I want to. I have decided to be very careful of drinking until I am more secure in my quit.  My relapse 7 years ago was during a night of partying.  Nobody really thinks I can do this, which causes me to have occasional doubts myself, but then nobody really understands that this is THE quit. I haven't jumped into this lightly.  I have spent a year figuring out how to make this quit successful.  Maybe that was a little excessive, but I do not want to fail again.  I took me 7 years to get over my last failure.
