This story brought back some tough memories.I'm sure it does for all of us.I have told my kids so many times that I would do anything I can to help them.My oldest daughter looked at me 12 days ago and replied"I know Mum, anything but quit smoking."
I found out she had tried a cigarette that day..thank God she hated the taste and the smell.(Kate's 13)
Kate has always been so outspoken about my smoking that I was pretty shocked by it and so relieved she told me and hated it.My husband passed away when the girls were young and I remember Kate asking me to quit smoking then.She told me that her Dad hadn't had a choice about how he died (not smoking related) but that I could choose not to kill myself with cigarettes.I stopped for 12 weeks.But then I fell into the "just a couple with friends trap".Now I know better and I have quit for myself as well as the ones I love.
Not being able to quit "for my kids" had made me wonder what kind of Mum I was.Now I know I was just human..an addict..and not ready.Now I am armed with knowledge, I'm quitting for the right reasons, and I'm never going to take another puff.
I have decided not to smoke for 10 days
