So, after a decade of relying on cigarettes to get me through my days, I've decided to make my father's birthday my quit date. I've done the preparations, and I still feel unprepared. I have so many people supporting me, but none of them have ever been smokers! But my 4 year old needs someone who is a good role model. I quit smoking during my pregnancy, but I started again when Jude was a couple of months old... I think I used it as an excuse to have a moment's peace (sounds pretty selfish now). I thought a community of people doing the same thing would be helpful... so here it goes!
