Scared is very normal, Cassy. We all have experienced it to some degree. The unknown is a frightening thing. Have you examined your previous quit attempts to see why you lost them? If not, you should. That may reveal weak spots in your armor that you can correct before they become a problem. If you haven't already done so, I suggest you work through this site's Online Quit Program. It's full of good information and tips to make a successful quit. Stay close, read much, and post often. Let us know how you're doing and if you need help. I'm glad you've joined us. Welcome to the SSC.

Well I guess this is it, today is the first day of my new life. But I sure am kind of scared. This is my 3rd try and is going to be my last. This time I am very sure it will work. I have smoked for 25 years and have wanted to quite but have always been scared, am I the only one that has these feeling? I am kind of all over the place this morning, guess it is just nerves.

Chuck, We are here every step of the way! You need to prepare yourself for this. Mornings usually make sense as you have already gone without a cigarette for awhile. You can also prepare for that habitual morning one, by changing your routine. Whatever you decide, we are with you all the way! Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.

Cassy, Many people who quit will admit that the reason they never quit before was because of a fear of failure. Why go through withdrawal if it may not work, they wondered? They did not know about the journey to our Online Quit Program or the wonderful support they could get here. When some people prepare to quit, they consciously try to cut down. One such person wrote to us that in order to be able to do that, she kept her cigarettes outside. For her, smoking had been automatic, and all other attempts to cut down had failed. She wanted to start developing coping methods before the big day came. Another person wrote that he put away his pack, only taking out a certain amount for the morning. He did the same for the afternoon and the same for the evening. This allowed him to discover the time of day when his strongest urges hit. Then he would work on dealing with that time of day. Cutting out a few favorites each day is another way to cut down, such as the ones on the ride home from work, or the first one in the morning. There are other ways of cutting down, and we hope that our members will share how they did it. Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
