Thanks, Karen!

I love how this site is so non-judgmental and affirms the fact that quitting is a process, and that it can take some people up to 7 tries. I'm on serious try 3. In 3 days, I've had plenty of motive (God, have I had motive!!), and plenty of opportunity. But this time I'm doing it for myself and myself alone. No trying to please anyone around me --- it's just me and the addiction.

Peteg,

Welcome to the SSC and congratulations on taking the first steps to kickin' the habit! 2 days, that's great!

Preparation is key as this is an addiction. You need to figure out how your going to deal with cravings and what new habit you'll replace smoking with. (The program will help you do all this.)

You'll also need to put into place a reward system. It should have three components: small one for after each craving, medium for the end of each smoke-free day and a bigger one for the end of each smoke-free week.

We're here for you 24/7 if you have questions or need some feedback. We'll help you through this every step of the way!

Good luck & check back soon!

Hey Everybody -- New to this (well, new this time around -- I was here for a long time, a long time ago), and am enjoying everyone's posts. I have a good feeling about this step in the "quitting process."
