Sharona, so glad you found SSC. Are you going to quit cold turkey or are you going to use an NRT like Chantix, Gum, Patches, etc.? Here's what I recommend you do. Go through "my program" so you are 110 prepared for this quit. Add yout stats to your postings from "my profile". Set up a reward system to celebrate each passing crave, each day smoke free, and each week smoke free. Read, read, and read some more. Search for topics like new baby, pregnancy, cold turkey or NRT, anything that is on your mind. Because chances are very good that somebody has already gone through what you are going through. Drink lots of iced water. Flush all those toxins out of your system. Every time you have a craving drink iced water, eat carrot sticks, celery, pretzels, or licorice. Altoids work too! We're all a bunch of addicts. Once you understand the addiction and how to deal with stress, will power, triggers, and urges you'll be on your way to becoming smoke free. You've made a wonderful decision to protect your baby. You've made a wonderful decision to protect your own life. This quit is all about you! You can do it! We're all rooting for your success!
