Quitting smoking, need some encouragment!

I had one here and there but I'm mostly off at this point. I don't even picture myself having a cigarette tomorrow as I haven't had one at all in about two days. I'm in a high pace course right now thats gonna last into December and the chief instructor is a Force guy who is pretty motivating, thus cigarettes don't cross my mind that often anymore.

I started back up again.

My mom lost her job and is ineligible for unemployment - she might lose her house (my own foresight). My wife hates her job - she is capable of a position that she has not been awarded, in turn due to favoritism/fraternization between the business owner and an incompetent co-worker but can't find any other jobs in our area worth jumping ship for - problem is she's getting upset to the point that I'm worried she'll do it and accept things for what they are. This would seriously stretch our current budget. (yes so I purchase a five dollar pack of cigarettes)

All that is bad stuff and I hope things improve for your family. Not sure what you can do for your mom, tell your wife to keep working and look for new employment, maybe she can hook up with a good headhunter who can market her skills to another firm. She is much more "employable" as an employed person vice an unemployed person...and hopefully she'll find something soon and can tell them to stick it.

All that said I'll be the hard ass and say smoking won't change any of what is going on...but will add to your budget and health woes.

Just do it, QUIT!

December 1st was 7 months of no smoking. It also marks the first time where I didn't do the typical "Smoke during deployment and quit afterward" cycle. And really, I haven't had the inclination to smoke. Even after biffing the SFRE the other day I didn't feel like starting up.
