I gave up smoking too. But I will be happy to help you any way I can.

For me, it was my doctor telling me that smoking and estrogen do not mix and at my regular dosage, I had a one in two chance of stroking out before I was finished. While I believe that she was exaggerating the odds, at the same time, I realized that I am beginning a new life and I get a fresh start and I decided that Pamela would be a non-smoker. Plus it would save a LOT of money.

If you are living with a smoker while you are trying to quit, it will be more difficult at first, but as your lungs clear out (yes, they WILL), you will find yourself being sickened by the smell. And that will help you stay on the wagon.
Do not get discouraged if you fall off. Keep trying! The cravings are all mental after the first week. Be strong!

Talk it out if you need to. We're here for you! At least, *I* am!

Love

Pam
