Wanting to QUIT

I WANT to quit smoking. I have done this before. I did this when I was pregnant with Madelyn. I know I can do this. There are SO many reason that I should quit!! Not only for my daughter, and my self, but there is CANCER in my family. That is SUCH an ugly word. My maternal grandmother has/is battling breast cancer & colon cancer. Cancer is now on both sides of my family. This is the best reason to quit. This is where I will post my progress, as well as ask for tips and support. I began smoking about 8 years ago. WHY? I don't really know how to answer that question. And If I could quit for the health and well being of Maddy, then why can't I do it for myself!? After I got engaged in Feb, 2010, I told myself, I want to stop smoking by my wedding. My wedding is about 108 days away, and I still pick up that cigarette. I don't want to stand outside in my wedding dress at my wedding, smoking! GROSS. So it begins now. My current pack is almost gone, and once it is, there will be no more for me. I smoke about 1 pack per day. If I can quit, my next mission is to get Jim to quit! One thing at a time.

they may love someone else enough to do it."
