Welcome to EX,

Congratulations on making the decision to quit smoking.  To be successful requires planning and preparation. I call them the 2 Ps.  You can start here by clicking this link  My EX Plan | BecomeAnEX and Help Community to learn how to navigate around the site. Watch the videos and learn what your triggers are and how you will handle them. With the right attitude and commitment of not smoking no matter what is happening quitting smoking is doable. 

 Education is the key to a successful quit.

Understand the law of addiction."

Law of Addiction 

Administration of a drug to an addict will cause re-establishment of chemical dependence upon the addictive substance."

Read: Freedom from Nicotine My Journey Home and Nicotine Addiction 101   Here are the links      http://whyquit.com/whyquit/LinksAAddiction.html   and http://whyquit.com/ffn/  

Also Read   Allen Carr’s book, “Easy Easier Way to Quit Smoking”.  Which can be purchased of found pdf format on the internet.

Welcome to the community!

I hope you will spend the new two days reading, planning and preparing for your quit.  Here is a blog I wrote with links to materials that others (including me) have found helpful in understanding this smoking addition:
