I promised my 7 year old that I was definitely done with smoking, and that I was totally quitting today. I should have chosen a less stressful time to quit, but with the boys here I have WITNESSES.

You can do it! But, yes, witnesses and accountability help *so much*.

I am pretty sure I can do it, it's just going to be HARD.

Thank you for the encouragement, bb. <3

It's totally hard but also totally worth it. And if *I* did it, you can definitely do it. <333

Yay for you! It makes me feel better knowing I have people cheering me on. :D

Good luck! If I can do it, you can do it!

Yay! I'm glad you quit, and that makes me feel better. I'm so happy I have support. <3

Woo hoo! You can do it!

My mother stopped smoking cold turkey, and she said that nicotine cravings only last five minutes. The emotional craving to smoke might last longer, but the physical craving each time it surfaces is only five minutes long. You can hang on for five minutes. She used to go play the piano when the craving was particularly bad, but you might think about something that can distract you for 5-10 minutes.

I can do that! I quit smoking once before for 2 years and then started again when my divorce was going on, and just haven't gotten around to quitting. It's about time I did it.

Thank you for the encouragement! <3

HURRAH! GOOD LUCK BB! I am rooting for you! It sucked when I quit, but it was the best decision.

It's good to hear so many triumphant quitting stories. :D Thank you.

I have complete and utter faith in your ability to follow through. ♥ And because I didn't comment on the last post, your boys are adorable.

Thank you!

Could I suggest 14 word fic?

You can do it froogy! Perhaps writing 14-word fic to get through the 5 minute craves?

Ooh, thanks for the suggestion! *hugs*

Good luck with that! I know from experience it's very hard. Glad the boys were there for you during that time. :)

They're definitely keeping me from smoking. I don't want to go back on my word after I promised.

Thank you for the well wishes!

It's going to be hard but it's the best thing you can do for yourself and your kids. I literally used to worry myself sick over my mother smoking.

*hugs* Thank you! My mom is quitting with me, so that's another good reason for me to be strong.
