Hello! Today is my first day, but I have been planning this for 2 months. This will be my 3rd time making a serious attempt to quit, and I refuse to break down. I'm 30 and have been smoking for 20 years...what a waste, eh? My husband was supposed to quit with me, but this morning he said he wasn't "in the right frame of mind" and didn't think he could do it. I told him I just need his support. If he is going to choose to smoke, he will need to do it nowhere's near our house!
The choice to quit smoking is due to our wish to have a child. So, I always have that wish for a baby as an invisible support system. Unfortunately, my husband knows that he won't be carrying the cild for 9 months, so he can sneak a cigarette now and then. Ah, well. I know that if it's not his time to quit, it's not his time.
But I must congratulate YOU for making this decision! What a great role model you'll be for your daughter--and honestly, I think it's a 13 year olds job to be the family skeptic! Stay strong!
