Default It's tough....

I quit when I was pregnant. I was threatening to miscarry.....Doctor told me if I stopped smoking it could only be good for the baby. Talk about incentive......people asked me after my son was born why I didn't go back to smoking, and I said because I didn't want to go through quitting again! Know what you are going through......

I found it helpful not to do the same things I did while smoiking.....like my first cup of coffee in the morning, with my first smoke......sitting at the kitchen table. Well when I got up, I grapped my cup of coffee and headed back to the bedroom......sat in bed.....I did not go to a restaurant for over a year.....until I was sure I could go in and not want to light up......I was pregnant....so I couldn't take any meds to help me, and don't think patches were even around then.....I was a 2 pack a day smoker......had smoked for over 20 years.......addictions......they can be beat......it's not easy but you all know......for a life......it's worth it......guess I just never placed much value on my life, until I carried another...... Value yourselves and the quality of your lives......good luck!
