Dear Cigarettes,

Although I've tried to quit you many times before I'm hoping this time I can quit you for good. You've been able to make me feel good on and off for the past 7 years. You helped alleviate my stress when things got difficult, made me feel high when I was low, and you were my favorite comfort.

I thank you for all the times you were there but now I must quit you. My life is different now and it's either you or the ones I love. I have to quit you because I have a son who might need his mommy and a husband who might need his wife, for those few extra years that you would take from me. I hope I can take the money I save by quitting you to take myself on a much needed vacation or buy a toy for my little boy. I hope I can run a little farther and faster when I chase my son at the park. Oh there are going to be many things that are going to be different without you and I know every day you will tease and haunt me....I hope I can overcome your temptations.....hopefully.

Your loyal smoker,

Ashley
