Trying to Quit Smoking?

Quote From: linda12k

Hi Sara, 

You have twins,,,,,fantastic!!!!! How old are your twins. My niece has twin boys, 3 months old, I think that is wonderful.  

In changing my routine when I first quit, I came to the computer many times a day too. To try to break the usually habit I had of going outside to smoke. When I finally started doing other things, I was amazed at how much time I had on my hands. That I did take a lot of breaks for myself. But now that things have settled down as for the smoking, it's kinda back to the same time frame, it still takes me so long do my morning housework, and so on, maybe I just got older and slower . Heehee! 

It's a one day at a time in quitting, and sometimes, one minute at a time.  

Have you had a chance to download the meter, It's free.

Eleven months, one week, five days, 10 hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds. 8386 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,585.00. Life saved: 4 weeks, 1 day, 2 hours, 50 minutes.
 

Yep, I have 10 year old girls, and a boy age 9.  My little guy is also autistic.... so my life can be busy and trying at times.  I love them all so dearly.  They add magic to my life. 

I'm also a recent single Mom, divorced their dad last year, so quitting smoking makes me realize that I have so much to live for, so I have to stop. For good this time.  I haven't downloaded the meter yet, I think I'll wait until I've stopped for a few months.  It's day five today, the nic fits are gone, just the mental craving and habit lingering on in my brain every now and again.    I have an amazing circle of friends also... some smokers, some ex smokers, some non-smokers.  My smoking friends are so kind... they don't bring their smokes over, as they know I'll be tempted, so they've been awesome to support me.   

Anyways Linda, thanks for your great words of encouragement and I'll talk to you again soon ok? 

Sara
