Dont' beat yourself up too bad. Stopping smoking is really hard, and you have a lot of adjustments in your life now with little Jeremy.

You can always try stopping again. Also talk to your Dr. about a drug tthat helps with quitting. I think it's called champix (not sure on spelling) but I know a few people who used it and have successfully quit.

Thanks for that. I know your right. I find I am totally using it as a coping mechanism, when I get frustrated day to day and am here alone and can't take some time to myself, i go to the doorstep and have a smoke. I am still not smoking that much. I need to find other ways to cope when I get frustrated or just need some time to myself to relax.

I'll look into the champix, Im not sure If i could take it with all my other meds plus nursing. But who knows it might just help.

I think the name of the drug is Chantix.

Good luck from a fellow cigarette addict.

I KNOW!!

I quit for both of my pregnancies...cold turkey, no problem whatsoever. Then I delivered my children and me/myself wasn't enough to protect from smoke. It's VERY difficult to quit for just yourself....it really is. The longest I went without smoking was for the pregnancy and nursing of my daughter for two years...once she was off the boob I was back on the tobacco. I had done so good, but I wasn't enough to keep going on the right path.

If you've slipped up, don't hate on yourself for it. It's hard being a Mom okay. Just be sure to discipline yourself and protect the baby by smoking outside. No matter the weather, temperature...no matter what I make myself smoke outside. It's sort of a self discipline thing. You'll notice you'll smoke a lot less too that way.

Don't let a relapse bring you down, try again if you have too...one day at a time.
