And you are correct - the first couple of weeks are going to be really hard - but you can do this! It is important to keep yourself busy, break up your old routine, stay away from triggers (caffeine, alcohol, etc.), and stay away from other smokers. Following the advice in this program will definitely help.
We've done a lot of research on this program, and we have found that posting in this community helps tremendously. Not just because of the support of other members, but typing out how you are feeling helps you get over cravings. You'll find that when you post what you are going through intense cravings often pass.
We also just soft-launched a text messaging program. You can text in keywords (like craving) for instant advice. Our research on the text messaging program shows that the program is a big help, especially in the early stages of your quit. You can register for free here: http://sms.evolutionhs.com.
Here are the keywords you can type in:
edgy
craving
alcohol
smokers
stress
motivate
slip
Congratulations once again - quitting is really hard, but you can do it! Good luck, keep fighting, and please let us know how you are doing!
