bagsgirl, First of all, congratulations on your decision to quit!!!! It sounds like you really are ready! Second, you have to look at this as not something that you're giving up or losing, but something that you are GAINING! You are regaining your LIFE, your FREEDOM, your MONEY! You're not LOSING cigarettes... you're making a choice to better your life. It's not that you CAN'T smoke again... it's that you are choosing to do something that will change your life for the better. Also, try not to look at this as a forever thing. Take it one day at a time. [quote] By the yard, it's hard but by the inch, it's a sinch! [/quote] Keep that in mind. Just worry about right now and try not to think too much about "forever." It's too overwhelming if we think about it that way. On the bright side, I'm totally impressed with your planning and preparation. I can tell that you really want this and are prepared to take your life back once and for all. Just keep those coping tools with you. You're going to do awesome tomorrow and we'll all be here for you to help you along! Congratulations on quitting! Crave the Quit!

Hi Kim, The way u put what you were going through in your post made me giggle a bit. I realize it's not funny for you though :( I see the same type of posts from many before their quit day. You're giving up your best friend, so yes it's sad but it's really not your friend, so in the long run you'll be just fine :) Congrats on your decision to quit!!! woohooooooo!!! Welcome to the site that's helped me to stay quit for almost a year now!!! WOOHOOOOOOO!!! Stay close & you'll be just fine :) No matter what don't lite up... Keep on keepin on...
