Quit day set for 11/19/2012 Looking for support

Hello Everyone,
 I have set my quit day for the 19th. I was wondering if anyone else has set that day also or close to it. I am maybe looking for a quit smoking buddy.
Someone who can offer support but also get it if needed.
I have smoked for 35 yrs and have to quit for health reasons. I have tried to quit many times but did not succeed.
it does not help that I really do not have much support around me from friends or family.
If you are intrested in supporting each other let me know.

Afraid I can not do this

I have been having many self-doubts that I can do this. I know I can but these thoughts are getting bad as my quit date approches. I am trying to find ways to keep busy when I have them but at times it does not seem to help. I am ready to go and do this. 
 
I set my date for the New Year.

back and on the right road

Hi I am back and this time I am on the right road.
My name is Sherry and I have a quit day of January 1,2013
 I am 47 yrs old and have been smoking for 35 years give or take a few days.
My gift from the cigarettes to me is COPD. I was diagnosed last month but to be honest
I knew I had it before hand.  I just chose to ignore it and come up with any excuses I could 
to cover it.
Like I said my quit day is set for 01/01/2013. A GREAT way to start a New Year and a New Life.
I will be using the patch and also I am going to be going to therapy and a group for DBT.
Wish me luck :)

back and on the right road

I also wanted to add that I am wondering if anyone would like to be a quit smoking buddy with me. I am looking for someone who I can get support from and also give support if needed.
I do not have a good support system at all and can also see this hampering my quit.
