Good luck! You're doing the right thing. Even after 7 years, every once in a while the urge to buy a pack is soooo strong!

I am wishing you the best of luck in this... it's going to be a killer, but I wish you the strongest vibes I can through the net.

Hooray! Congratulations on making the first step - deciding to stop. :D

Now, as a child of smokers, married to the child of smokers - neither of us smoke. But you're still going to provide a great model of self-control to your little ones for quiting, and a healthy choice as well. You're rockin' today SuperMommy!

Hopefully you won't start chewing instead! That is on nasty habit as well, and.........well, your from Texas, and I think ladies chew all the time down there, right? Maybe that is just in the movies!

I quit almost 5 years ago...yes the hard4est thing I did. Also ended up quiting cold turkey, and was unable to hang out with other smokers due to Jones'en for a smoke.

You can do it.. You will live longer, and it is an excellent example for your kids...

Lots of gum, sunflower seeds and beer...unless you smoke when you drink and then nix the beer thing.

You are so right in your post! We can say all we want to our children but they learn what we model to them.

Good Luck!
