Cutting down on my smoking nearly killed me!

I think when you "are ready" - it comes easier. For 20 some odd years I tried to quit because... I knew I should, because others told me I should, because I lived in CA for a while and there, if you smoke, you're almost considered a leper, because it was definitely a no-no during pregnancy, because of a lot of reasons. It NEVER stuck for more than a few days.

When it did "stick" earlier this year, I think it was because it was really "just time for me" and I was "ready". When you "are ready", it comes way easier than all those other times you tried ! I know it sounds weird and probably makes no sense - but that is that way it felt - way easier than all other failed attempts : )

Makes perfect sense, Alyssa.

When the time is ready I will quit. I tried again a few days ago. 14 hours without one and then wham. Had to have one. Guess it isn't time yet.

After reading this I'll still hold out hope, I just hope my time comes sooner rather than later.

Trev - never give up hope !

Chris - LOL - I agree ; )

Not proud to admit it, but I did smoke some while pregnant, yup...not much, but a few a day. Addictive, addictive, addictive - that is what they are !
