Profile Information

About Me:
30-something divorced/single mother of a beautiful seven year old girl.

I have been smoking for almost half my life. Quit for about a year when I was pregnant...but started back at it when I went back to work. Quit in 2003 and stayed quit until 2006 (over 3 1/2 years) - when my husband walked out and filed for divorce. The stress of the separation and getting my life pieced back together drove me back to smoking...it was my coping mechanism. So it's been two years since my life had been flipped upside down, rolled through the mud and trampled on. I think it's time to quit again...but this time for good!

THREE WEEKS!! yay! Working on Week FOUR and beyond...

Then I have to remind myself that there's nothing outside... I really am learning how to live again! It's exhausting - trying to remember what you can & can't do!

The last week, I had bad allergies & nasal c… Continue

18 days 22 hours and counting...

My daughter started school on Monday...stress, stress, stress...getting back into the ol' routine! But it's been nice because I'm not constantly thinking about when I'll have my next smoke break. I'm not waiting for her to go to the bathroom or get into the shower or go to bed so that I can go out & smoke. I'm not rushing her through her homework so I can go smoke. I don't think she realizes that I have quit (I never told her) but I know she's noticed the difference. She sniff… Continue

Five and a half days...

I've been doing okay the past couple of days. But now I'm expecting the worse...what does the nicodemon have in store for me? It's been too easy that I don't want to be taken off balance. I'm scared of what is to come!

Peace to you. I recently had a relapse too. I know I can thank the people on this site for waking me the heck up from what was going on. Glad to be back on track. Here's a toast. Let's "MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!".

A few more hours and you will have successfully been a quitter for a week! You're doing such a wonderful thing for yourself and your kiddo! Keep it up!
**p.s.** My oldest told me yesterday how nice I smelled. I haden't told him that I quit, and he didn't notice until he smelled me. It felt great to hear that <3
