I admit I can be one of those judgey people... It's one thing to have smoked when I was growing up (I smoked on and off in high school but was never addicted) when there weren't so many known risks of smoking and of second hand smoke.

Today, I really have a hard time seeing young people smoke. The worst though, is people smoking around children. It boggles my mind to see someone smoking in a car with kids in it. It really gets my blood boiling!

So you have been smoking a while and that does make it harder to quit. From what I know, most of it is about replacing the habit with another one. Hopefully a healthy one. Not like gastric bypass patients who become alcoholics. Meep.

How about saying to yourself "I will do this incredibly healthy thing for myself today because I deserve it!!" Instead of thinking "I wont smoke today."

Even if you fall off the wagon, tomorrow is another day to try again.

I think the fact that you have come here and owned it is a step in the right direction. Maybe you werent ready before and you are now!

Best of luck to you!
