Ok, March 1st is the day! My birthday is Feb.28th and this is my birthday present to myself. I am excited, but scared at the same time.

I have set my date! Found my triggers, and found the reasons why I want to quit!
We have some major changes coming up in our life. My husband (who quit 4 days ago cold turkey) is going to become a police officer! I am so proud of him, he has will power I have never seen in a person! I have seen the positive changes in him in only 4 days. I WANT to feel those changes myself.

I started smoking at only 15 years old. This Sat. I will have been smoking for 10 years! Its time to quit. I want my health back.

I want to be able to chase my children around. Play with them. I want to be able to go hiking without having to stop every 5 seconds. I want so many things back that smoking has taken away! I will get them back.

Anyone have any good tips for me? Oh and I am sure when I am having a really bad craving this is the place I am coming to. So you guys can all drill me about how I don't need that smoke. Main reason, most of my extended family smokes, and my mom especially is not the best person to talk to about quitting. Last time I tried, she managed to talk me into coming over and smoking

Wish me luck! Do I sound ready to quit?
