This is my first time here. I have not set an exact quit date yet, but I will soon. A few months ago is when I decided it would be some time in October. My daughter kept asking me, "when are you going to try again Mom?" I told her October, so I guess it is a positive sign that tomorrow is October 1st and I am here trying to prepare myself. I want to track my cigarette usage first because that is something that I have never done. How long would you suggest I track for? A few days, a week, two weeks? I smoke between 15 and 20 cigarettes a day on average and have for 25 years. Can you believe that? 25 years of wasted time, money, and energy! It really boggles my mind and makes me scared to give it up. I think my biggest fear is that I will fail again. I went 9 months without a cigarette. I thought I had it beat for sure!! I had one bad day and told myself that 1 cigarette will not hurt me. At least I know THAT isn't true!
