You sure got my attention with that one, Kiwi. And the reason for that was...I could relate. Absolutely and positively relate. That was one of top reasons for holding off.
I found though, the more I educated myself on the subject of quitting, and more I decided the "One day...one crave at a time" theory, the easier it became.
And here I am today...with much help from all the good folks right here at SSC.
Cheers,
Jan

It's definately a scary process, this quitting. Right now, I'm in the "pissed off" process - wanting the quit so badly that I can taste it and yet wanting a cigarette. I don't know why...their nasty, the smell horrible and are expensive as hell. so why do I still want one so badly!?!?
N.O.P.E.

Kiwi-Great post!! I was always scared I would never be able to quit and it would kill me and too scared to quit that I wouldn't know how to functionm without my little friend the cigarette. This time around, I was not scared to quit. But scared I would never and it drove me to drop the cigarettes, get back on this site, read a book recommended(A Carr) by friends and learn that I dont need to be afraid anymore. I'm here, I'm smoke free, I love the way I feel. And thankfully with the support of this site I can ask questions I am scared to ask others, I can read about the feelings and challenges I may face on here and be prepared for them. Thank you for posting this topic it really made me think.
