Dawn, welcome to the SSC and congrats on your decision to quit smoking! Great idea on cleaning out your car! While you are at it, wash your clothes too before wearing them since they may still smell like smoke! Toss out every ashtray, every lighter, everything that you used! If you used to smoke in the same spot, rearrange furniture. If you smoked while drinking coffee, switch to tea or something else. You just need to psych out the nicodemon these first couple weeks, one day at a time! And don't forget about rewards. Something small for each passed craving. A medium reward for each smoke free day, and a larger reward for each smoke free week. Now that its spring, my favorite daily reward is taking my dog for a nice walk! We both get exercise, we get to breathe fresh air, and we get to do it all smoke free! We're all rooting for your continued success!
