i'm already starting to use some of the ways to keep me busy. I am going to start with slowing how many cigarettes I smoke in the day, and keep going down till i can start my patches. I have been wrighting down everything I do when i eat, smoke a cig, workout, walk the dog, clean the house/ i never really knew how much i was smoking till I wrote down when, where, and how many. Its crazy how much you find out about yourself when you write it down on paper. I never would have thought I smoked that much but wow my daughter was right. I started to think about quiting smoking because of my daughter and son, they came to me and said mommy that cigarette smells bad and it's nasty please dont smoke I was like wow out of the mouth of babes... So made a promise to both of them I would quit smoking for them and me.. My whole family use to be smokers but my mom quit, my stepfather, my dad, father in law. So, if they can do it so can I. They all quit in different ways and i'm finding out some are harder then others..
