Welcome to our quit world!  I did the 'post it note' thing too and it really helped get my attitude in the right place.  It sounds as if you've done a pretty good preparation.  Here's a blog I put up to the serial quitters here:  /blogs/Giulia-blog/2017/03/25/for-the-serial-quitters-out-there?sr=search&searchId=1e9e5781-0c48-41b...

"I am going to quit my way because this is my quit and all the other ways I have tried, I have failed. My backup plan is the patches, so this time, no more smoking, no more "just one" mentality.  I. Am. Done."

The "just one' mentality THE EX ONE PUFF FILES‌ will ALWAYS lead us home to our addiction.  Glad you've grasped that.  But especially glad that you've grasped that "your way" is the best way to quit.  Because we know ourselves the best, after all.  I suggest SMART TURKEY‌, however, as opposed to cold turkey.

 

Stick to your resolve.  Otherwise it all dissolves.
