I had my last smoke yesterday at 1.30pm. I"m using the spray right now but will talk to my doctor on Monday. It's so important for me to quit right now with my husbands cancer diagnosis. Doesn't seem fair that i'm the one who's been smoking and he's the one who gets cancer after quitting 10 years ago. I'm determined to not smoke, for him, for my health and not to mention the money we will save. My husband starts radiation treatment next week so we'll be spending a fair time at the hospital. I want to see my children get married and have more grandchildren, I want to live a long life, that my husband will be cheated out of. No one can prepare you for this. But if I can stay stopped I will be very proud of myself. I should say I'm proud of myself right now for making the decision and starting on my quit journey. I have to do this, this is my life....

    Yes, you can do it! Smoking does not relieve stress that you must be feeling at such a time. Think positive thoughts for a positive outcome. Read our stories and you will find many success stories for those who never gave up the dream. All the best to you and your hubby. xx

    Thankyou Happiness. Today is day 5 and its feeling harder than day 1. I woke up through the night with cravings but instead of driving to the servo I went back to sleep. I know I can get through this, thanks for the support. x
