Meka, Welcome to the SSC and congratulations on deciding to kick the habit! Your quit date is fast approaching. What have you done to prepare? Work through the program, located on the left side of your screen. Take some time to look over past attempts. Pull out the strategies that worked well for you and modify/replace the ones that didn't. Take a look at your daily routines. Start giving some thought how you will modify the routines you strongly associate with smoking. Ex: You use to have coffee and a cigarette in the morning. Now, you'll have coffee and read the newspaper. Lastly, you'll need a reward system. The key to remember when choosing rewards is to select a reward you value and are willing to work towards. Keep us posted on your progress. We look forward to celebrating your first smoke free day! Danielle _________________________ The SSC Support Team

FreeAtLast, What happened? Did you panic, get a little scared? Know this is normal, many have felt this way and have gone on to have successful quits. How is your first day going? Can we help in any way? Danielle ________________________ The SSC Support Team

FreeAtLast. Just keep going with the momentum you are building today. I had a false start as well. I thought I could do it on a particular day and I simply couldn't. I went the day after and never looked back. Go with the flow and congratulate yourself for every step in the direction you want to go.

Hello Freeatlast. Taking the plunge is the hardest part of quitting. I think most of us experience a lot of anxiety when we are pre-quit. Remember to drink a lot of water, take some deep breaths and take one step at a time. You can do it. Congraultions on your decision to quit. It's a great decision!

Tomorrow will start your journey on to the Magical Mystery Tour. Congratulations in advance for making the big leap. It's a good leap, too...full of surprises and good things that eventually will far outweigh the temporary discomforts. Stick close by and tell us how you're doing.
