Tomorrow is my birthday and I will be 68 years old. Age doesn't bother me, really. So the celebration started yesterday with dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, that I actually worked at in the 90s. I went with my brother and our good friend. I ordered shrimp scampi. My brother was treating. They got Italian dishes. We all left with containers because this restaurant is not...

I had went to a dr and got the medication to help quit the I did a cessation program online it helped where I went 8 weeks with out smoking a Dave slot of money in an envelope.
Fir me I never liked alcohol or weed and I always been a very healthy eater I don't really eat meat. Just a piece of chicken or turkey on and occasion but smoking is my downfall.
Seems is I love the smell of a cigarette. I relapsed again but I mainly quit when I had planned to have children and my husband had told me that for me to quit It has to be for myself not for others. As of now because I was encouraged how much money I save not spending $70 a week on cigarettes. Which is 6 or 7 a day.
So I'm still putting $50 in an envelope a week.i been doing this since March and after a year I plan to do something good for my self. August 1st im going to limit a pack and a half a week.
Its very hard for me and it doesn't help in the long run with anxiety. I wish at 14 when my mom found out I wish she hadn't bummed1 off off me and I wish she didn't enable by allowing me to smoke in the house or in the car and even buy my cigarettes so I wouldn't have to worry about going with out.
Good luck you can quit.
