Hi Terry,
I don't know if this will help you but it worked well for me. :)
In the week leading up to my quit date, I didn't think about how difficult quitting would be but focused, and really concentrated, on how life would be as a non smoker. I pictured all of the ashtrays and their associated mess gone from my home. I pictured going to friends homes and not having to leave a discussion to go stand in the garage or outside to have a smoke. I pictured my trip to Cuba at the end of February without having to get outside before clearing security for that last smoke and then juggling luggage, smokes and a lighter to rush one down before getting on the bus to the hotel at the other end of the flight. And, most of all, I pictured telling my husband/son/mother/father that I had quit smoking! And by the time my date arrived, I wasn't nervous, I was was excited.
Like I said, this worked really well for me but this is such a personal journey. If any part of my method helps you out, then I'm happy to share.
