That made me do it. Almost near-death experience, i couldn't freaking breathe?!! Then when I caught my breathing back i swore of them next day! Threw a whole pack! And i used to be a chain smoker esp when i drink, which is almost every other day. I have changed, and you could too! Skin looks better too, believe me! hehe you can do it! iv been smoke-free for 2 years now, the best motivation if living a life longer for your child. That made me do it.

The 72 hour mark is MAJOR, as you well know. Usually when I quit smoking, especially if I have been for a while, for a few days I cry at the drop of a hat, sort of like an amped up version of PMS. I'm just one giant raw bundle of nerves. Guess it goes to show how much smoking has worked as an antidepressant for me. Quitting smoking is a beeeeeeyotch. So damn proud of you mama, you can do this. Here's to getting some padding on that skinny ass :) You'd look hot at any weight. Ha, sounds like you're doing very well, all things considered. The 72 hour mark is MAJOR, as you well know.

Wanted to sahre a tidbit with you about myself: I lost both of my grandparents within five months of eachother to smoking. My Nana (also my best friend) took a nap and never woke up...heart failure. My Papa (another best friend to me) died 5 months later (one month after walking me down the aisle at my wedding and barely being able to do so he was so sick and on oxygen) after suffering each day, hardly being able to breathe...also from heart failure due to smoking. I am so not trying to guilt trip you or make you sad...just want to make you even more aware of just what you would leave behind if you contiued to smoke. I was so lost for so long without them...still am sometimes. Ok, I'm crying now, sorry. Very proud of you and my aunt quit cold turkey 8 years ago and is still going strong and so can you, woot! You will both come out winners in the end of this..plus, I heard big booties are in ;) If I may chime in: Keep it up, you're doing great!

The cravings may be maddening... but as odd as it sounds, embrace them. That's what nicotine feels like when it's losing to you. Every twinge, every pang, every urge that you feel is giving you months of life, of breathing unhindered, of being with your son. Savor them. That's what they mean. Checking in.
