about

I'm a mother of 2 boys who are 13 months apart. Talk about a handful. I'm a wife to the best husband I could have ever dreamed of.
I'm one of the very blessed.


I have Bipolar 1 Disorder. I hate taking all these medications and always going to doctors appointments, but life is too short to let mental illness get the better of me.


Often times life is a challenge, and nobody knows that better than me. I wake up wondering if this is going to be a day my illness overpowers my meds, and either sends me flying like a bat out of hell, or leaves me laying on the couch like a wet dish rag.


Thank all that is good in the world that I have an excellent support system at home.
I'm one of the lucky ones.


I'm honest, and that can either be a perk or s flaw. Depends on how you choose to look at it.
I like to see it as a perk, because it's better to hear the truth than to be told candy coated bullshit.






advice

first of all, please dont lecture me. i know what im doin is wrong. but ive been smokin a pack a day for 3 years and its sad to say that my baby isnt enough motivation for me to quit. i went from smokin a pack a day to smokin 1-2 a day.

the thing is, i want/need to quit, obviously. ive tried lollipops, candy, takin deep breaths...i just cant do it.

what can i do to make me quit !?

Anyone who has never smoked has no business even giving advice on a question about quitting smoking. They have no clue how hard it is, and to pretend they are qualified to tell you what to do and how to do it is very fucking arrogant.

I have two children, and didn't quit smoking until the beginning of this year.

You have to WANT to quit.
If you want it bad enough, you can do it.

I've heard everyone has their own eye opener that causes them to quit smoking, and that is what it took for me. My 2 year old found a cigarette butt and was pretending to smoke it. He showed me, figuring I'd be proud that he was doing like me.
That was MY eye opener.
I don't want my kids to smoke.

I've been smoke-free since February 19, 2009- 4 days before my oldest's second birthday. One month and one week before my youngest's first birthday.

What sucks during pregnancy is that you can't use any stop smoking aids. I had to use the patch to help me quit. I also chewed toothpicks, and avoided anything that triggered my smoking habit.

I hope you find the strength to quit.
