Congrats Sparklez, welcome to the start of your new life as a non smoker!

A friend of mine found making a list of all the "good" things about non smoking helped her, she kept it on the fridge where she she could see it all the time.
Things like
as you said, being around for your kids, being able to taste things better, being able to smell better, also smelling better yourself!
think about why/what is important to you.
Good luck, don't forget to reward yourself with your cash that is no longer going up in smoke!

(Just as an aside, a doctor once said to me after finding out I was a smoker, "you a rich girl? you can afford to burn money??" LOL, makes sense when you think about it!)
