Hi Ron! hey its normal to be feeling how you're feeling. I felt exactly the same- like I was stepping into the abyss! and Ron this is absolutely true, when I eventually crossed the line into non-smoking I truly thought well this isn't half as scary as I imagined it would be!
Sure its going to be strange, but  this time you are well prepared, you have included not only your friends and family to share your quit journey, but a quit buddy at work, and all us here at SSC. Wow now that is preparation!!
I am excited for your quit, I know once you see those stats going up and that little quit meter ticking over you'll be so driven to continue.
Please come by here and share, tell us the ups and the downs- vent holler and scream if you must, but there is absolutely no need for you to go it alone this time
Good Luck Ron!!

So tomorrow is my quit day. I'm such a jumble of emotions. I can't believe it took so long to get here, but also can't believe it came so quickly. I'm so eager to get into the fight and whoop this thing, but at the same time I'm so anxious.
 
In the past I would never tell anyone I was attempting to quit. That way if I failed no one would know. This time I'm telling everyone! I even recruited a quit buddy at work and have a couple others thinking about it.
 
Having all you wonderful people out there taught me that I'm way better off asking for and receiving support than trying to tough it out alone. Plus, it gives me another motivation for success. If I'm terrified of the humiliation of failure then the more people that know the harder I will fight.
 
Thanks again for all your help. I'll be leaning on all of you pretty heavily the next few days.
