Just found last weekend that I’m pregnant. Stopped smoking that day, and haven’t looked back. I guess it’s true when people say it depends on your motivation. On the other hand, I was more psychologically addicted to them than physically, so that is probably why it hasn’t been so traumatic. I never did smoke more than one or two on a daily basis (though much more at parties and such!). I don’t think I could help others quit, just from this experience. It was my specific situation that pushed me into it, not my “great” will power!

Okay, made another payment yesterday. I have to stay focused. It’s so hard to keep paying large amounts when the minimum payment is so low now—it’s a psychological game, for sure. I have other cards where the min. payment is much higher, and it’s easy to get distracted and want to throw money at them, too. But this one has the highest APR, so it must die!!!
