Dear Cigarettes,
I am sorry to have to tell you this, but I do not need you anymore. I have made the decision to quit smoking you.
I will miss having you with me wherever I go. I will miss going to the porch in the summer time after a meal and having you. I will miss the stressful times that you pulled me through by clogging my lungs up, allowing me to feel numb. I will miss having you in the car with me, by the computer, while I do laundry and while watching television. I will miss you when I am at camp, swinging on the porch swing, and sneaking back out by the fire while everyone is asleep, just to smoke one more before turning in. I will miss you during my break times at work, 10:00 am, 12:30 pm, and again at 3:00 pm. I will miss you when I am driving home, from anywhere.
I have made the decision to begin the wonderful journey as a non-smoker. In the next few days, I will be freeing my lungs of you, and will start to breathe better. I will be spending more time with my family. I will be exercising with my daughter, and running around more with her than when I was with you. I look forward to being in a social situation with other non-smokers without feeling like I am in a panic because I cannot get away to smoke. For I will be a non-smoker!
I look forward to no longer having a home with yellow walls, and the foul stench of stale cigarette smoke in the air. I will embrace each and every deep breath that I take�smoke free�clearer and healthier, without coughing and wheezing. I will enjoy every moment in the car without you�singing my lungs out to the radio, looking through the crystal clear windshield, and smelling the fresh scent of my smokeless car. I will be free!
And most important, I will embrace my little girl�kiss her goodnight and shower her with hugs as often as she allows me, no longer holding my breath in an attempt to hide the horrible smell of cigarettes on it. She will no longer cry that she does not want me to die from smoking, for I will no longer have you in my life to shorten it. I LOVE her more than life itself�.and I know that she will be proud of her Mommy.
I understand that you will be upset, hurt, and sore at me�especially during those first few weeks. I realize that you will put forth your best effor
