Description

Hi I have been trying to quit smoking ever since I started 40 years ago. I became a smoker painfully to feel a part of and to have more friends. The cool people smoked. I remember that first cigarette, it burned my eyes, stopped my breath, had me coughing without control, peeing in my jeans and the friends I were with laughing at me. I kept at it and became like the rest a pro. I told my mother who also smoked and still does that I was smoking. She took down the carton she had  Kool's and told me so you want to smoke, you can take the first pack and keep smoking until the cigarettes are gone. Wow I thought but of course I got sick after a few and told her I would never smoke again. I snuck around and only smoked around other smokers. I had a crisis went home crying to my mother when she gave me permission to smoke. She felt sorry for me......It all began at the age of 15. Throughout the years I joined smoke cessation groups, other alternatives and the patch. In forty years I have been smoke free for a strech of 3 months. At present I have difficulty breathing. I have always been an active person  and love being outside exploring. Due to my smoking I have isolated myself to work, home with smoking mom and my cigarettes. I have cats and wonder what I am doing to them smoking. I want to stop and need to get honest with me. Do this for me but I need all the support I can get. I need new friends that are smoke free. "I NEED ALL OF YOU-I NEED ALL THE SUPPORT I CAN GET" Thank you....
