I actually Did it! And I cant believe it!

I quit smoking, I actually quit, It wasnt an easy process but here is how I did it.
Well it started when my grandma got sick with cancer.Seeing her in the hospital in all that pain and not able to talk or do anything,especially when before she got it she was so healthy and could probably do more than some adults. She was very strong and looked young for her age. But it made me think that I dont want to end up like that or put Doug and my kids through that. My grandma smoked for 25 years and quit 20years ago. And even after 20 years she got lung cancer which eventually spread through her whole body till it took her life. I miss her daily and think that its not fair that it had to happen to her, why her? She did the right thing and quit so why punish her. But besides seeing my maw maw as I called her like that, I heard that she asked my aunt Kay as one of her dying wishes for her who also smokes to please quit. Since she asked my aunt that, I think that even though she didnt ask me that I should also do the same for my grandma because I know that is what she would have wanted. But besides all the I also wanted to quit for several other reasons. One I am trying to have a baby and smoking causes infertilty. Two because I have many breathing problems as it is why make it worst and three and one of the most important ones, cancer seems to run in my family severly and I dont want to die. I have to much that I still want to do in life and thats spend all my time with my amazing husband and raise a family. So I decided it was time. So this is what I did:
One since cigs are expensive I started off by finsihing that pack I had by cutting my cigs down to 1 or 2 a day, then after they were gone I used the nicotine patch. And so far so good, I have been a month and week now clean free and I plan to keep it that way. Yes granted at times I want it, but if I get busy doing something that craving feeling goes away. And just like last week I went to the boat and you can smoke there and after we got there I had one of those craving feelings and realized that I forgot to put my patch on. I thought oh great! here I am in a casino where you can smoke and have no patch on, but I ended up concentrating on playing cards and forgot all about it. I tell myself everytime I get that feeling to dont do it, it will go away eventually, and it does.
