I am a mother of three. Twins boy/girl turning 8 today and a 10 yo boy. This is the fourth time i have tried this year. I made it 45 days the last time and was feeling fairly confident...darn the relapse is still painful for me....lol. Now that they are up to 9 bucks, well why would I pay that much to kill myself? lol

I came to find support for dealing with my quit and my kid. He is a wonderful, charming child with severe ADHD, anxiety/depression, PTSD and anger issues. He is quite the handful. I love him...but he makes it hard. He is my trigger. I feel horrible for saying that. But if I am having a "moment" instead of helping or walking away he taunts me. I get that he is only a kid, but in my weak moments that makes no difference. Ugh....wish me luck on this quit. I know I can do it,but i am still nervous. Good luck all

Quitting Smoking is no more a hurdle Task for the Persons with high level Of will power. All It requires is the source of Inspiration and this can be in any form : from lectures, medical treatment, or else the books like Quit Smoking. Cigarettes are really injurious to health so quit that as soon as possible.

Me and my husband set the quit date for yesterday 8/10. We have 2 girls age 12 and age 3. We have been smoking since we was in high school. So far quitting is ok I still think about it every now and then but I just try to remember the money I will be saving and my kids. Kaylee is my oldest and she cant stand that her daddy and mom smoke, she gets embrassed if she has friends over. Shelby is too young to know what we are doing. This is my 4 time trying to quit I have tried chantix twice and this time it is cold turkey. Wish me luck so far 1 whole day with no cigarrettes. Hey you have too start somewhere!

My baby's father and I are committed to giving the best life possible to our daughter. I quit today for many different reasons, but my daughter's upcoming 3rd birthday is a big reason. I want to go to her party at her school without feeling the urge of the nicodemon on my shoulder making me irritated to be there wanting to go out and smoke. My daughter goes to a very upscale school-preschool and the parents that bring their children there are all well groomed and mostly upper middle class. I am a former smoker who used to light up within moments of waking up. I want to be or at least look a little more like the other parents who bring their kids to this school. There are so many reasons I want to quit smoking. My daughter's health is a big one, she has had several colds and maybe she wouldn't have them if I didn't smoke and expose her to second hand smoke. There have been many times when she has said Mommy don't smoke it gets in my eyes.
