Welcome SusieB!

Timbo already gave you great advice; so, I don't have too much to add. I hope to see you posting more. Remember - you do not have to go through this alone.

How are you doing today? Have you set a quit date yet? Just thinking about quitting is a step in the right direction.

Well thinking about it is half way to quitting. When l getting ready to quit l started a little quit journal. I made lists of reasons to quit, things l hate about smoking, how l would feel when l stopped smoking etc. I also wrote down things that would help me to read along the way such as "nicotine leaves the body in 3 days" and pearls of wisdom that l read or thought up such as "follow what my heart wants not what my flesh wants". This little journal helped me to get motivated to quit and is also good to refer to when l feel like giving up. Like Tim said l also read a lot on here and sites about quitting smoking. If you can cut down leading up to your quit date (although l didnt manage to do that) lm only 3 weeks into my quit and still struggling a little but it hasnt been as hard as l expected and the best thing lve done for myself in ages. Good luck!

Hi SusieB,

The first thing you should do is go through the "my program" at the top of the page. It has some good tips to help you on your quit journey. The second thing you should do is read through these forums. There is a ton of great information in here from fellow quitters that you can learn from, and also learn from some of the slips that have happened along the way. The more you know about what to expect, and how to deal with it and the unexpected, the "easier" it "should" be for you. No matter how long you have smoked, you CAN quit. It may not be easy but it is doable.

The third thing you need to do is prepare for your quit and set a date. Again, learn as much as you can about how the first few days are going to affect you and what you should do to be prepared for it. I wish you well on your journey.
