Hello! Is this the right place (on website) to introduce myself? Just trying to follow the instructions for a change, something I've never done well-lol. But the truth is, I really do intend to quit smoking so I'm gonna' try this way. Just found this site and it says to wait 30 days but I've set m y quit date for next Monday, after my B-Day. My B-Day just reminds me that i'm too old to be smoking and so it's my gift to self, finally. I've quit before, may yrs. ago, cold turkey, but I need to quit and stay quit this time, for my health and well being, which I hope I still have. My first idea is to go cold turkey, since I can't afford a nicotine aid, and to NOT tell anyone, so as not to sabotage my success. That's how I look at it. Then when I've quit successfully I can tell. According to all the info I've been reading, my plan may not work. I also think that if I'm writing about it in a support community as this that it's putting too much attention on smoking which I don't want to think about as I feel the cravings will be less, even though I will be making a conscious choice not to smoke when I have cravings. So maybe it's better not to join, not sure how best to have success. I really am my only support if I choose to opt out of communicating here. Appreciate any help or suggestions as I iwlill just read through some of your posts now. Thanks and have a great day! SuzB
