This is my first time ever being on here. I decided a week ago that today on my 28th birthday that I was going to quit. I have tried before on other birthdays in the past but never succeeded! I know now that I was never really ready to quit back then. I wanted to be cool and hang out with my friends that smoked also. I guess I thought It was the way they accepted me cause I smoked to. Here I am today fully ready to lay it all down and give it up for good. This morning was rough when I got up and started my coffee. I put my patch on first thing to make sure I wasnt gonna cop out of it. Its been pretty rough already but, The goal is in the back of my mind. I will be healthier, happier, and addiction free!!!!!!!! My whole family is behind me 100%. So, here I am day 1 and grinding through it no matter what. This is my time to shine and prove that a pack of ciggeratte's is not going to control me!!!
