DAY ONE - one step at a time

[gin]

I'm officially an EX! 10 hours and counting!!!

I'm going to the amusement park with my best friend & our kids today. Another friend told me yesterday that it's not a good day to quit...told him there's never going to be a "perfect" day. I just have to do it...before it kills me.

So here I am...still SCARED S***LESS...but I'm going to literally take it one step at a time.

I had toast for breakfast and was wondering why the peanut butter was so hard to spread...realized that I forgot to toast it first!!

I'm staying positive! I am a beautiful single mother who refuses to be controlled by the nicodemons anymore!

Wish me luck...and THANKS for all your support so far!!!

I'll give you my best piece of advice (I'm at the 6 month without a smoke point right now). It's something my brother told me when I quit. I asked him why he never started again after he quit 15 or 20 years ago. He said
"Because, quitting sucks and I'm only going to go through it once. If I start again I will have to quit again. It might be a Dr telling me I have to quit, my wife telling me I need to quit, or me deciding I need to quit, in any case if I start again I'll have to quit again and quitting sucks, so I only want to go through it ONE time".
It was a really simple words of wisdom, but every time I walk by a smoker and it smells good, or find myself wanting one at night or in the morning, I think of what he said, and so far its kept me away.
Good Luck, good luck to all of us!!!
