I can do this!

[angelwings63050]

OK, I am on my last pack of cigarettes that I intend to buy. I can do this! I am going to quit. I told my family (well the kids cause hubby already knew) tonight. I expressed to them how much I am going to need their help. I am not sure they know what they can do and to be honest I am not so sure myself. I have heard others say that their family helped. I know they can help me clean the carpets and the furniture and such things like that to get the smell closer to being out of the house. Yes, I know, I am so terrible for smoking in the house with the kids any ways. Don't bother telling me I am not clueless here! The last thing I need is criticism. I need encouragement. So anyways we are taking off to the resort for spring break and basically that is going to be my detox time. LOL! Or so that is the plan, with the exception of how long this last pack can last me. I don't know but I am sure as hell going to try. Please, Please, Please my dear friends (and those that I do not know!) say a prayer for this mom to quit this nasty and deadly habit. I need all the strength I can get. I have been smoking for...oh...um, 16 years now. Yeah I was one of those dumb kids that thought smoking made me look older and cooler. LMAO! What a joke right! But here I am at the age of 28 and sick of not being able to laugh with my children due to choking. I am so ill and tired. I just want to be done.

"Dear God thank You for the many blessings you have given me. Thank You for loving me and for showing me what love is all about. I know now that Love is You and I want to treasure the life you have given me. Oh Father in Heaven PLEASE hear my prayer and carry me through this. Give me the strength and the knowledge needed to quit smoking. Help me to show my children that it is never to late to do the right thing! In Your Son's name, Jesus I thank thee. Amen!"

I've said a prayer for you.  I'm in the same boat with you and have been on Chantix for 1 month now.  I don't guess I want to quit because I still haven't yet.  They say to give it 3 months on that medicine but really I should have already quit.  I KNOW you can do this Steph.  You've been through so much worse in your life and this will be a sinch for you!  ((HUGS))
