Congratulations and welcome to EX. I am not sure how much preparation you did or how much you have been on the site....maybe lurking? I suggest that you read a couple of blogs that may help you through the beginning of your quit. YoungAtHeart wrote this one that I think was particularly helpful to people, For Our New Years' Quitters (and community member...JonesCarpeDiem wrote the following two My Welcome To New Members (12+ Years Of Watching) and What To Expect In The First Four Months It helps with the beginning of your quit to have a plan for what to do INSTEAD of smoking...My EX Plan | BecomeAnEX and you can also find many helpful blogs at Best of EX I came to this site every morning and every evening and I read everything that was recommended to me, including a book by Allen Carr, "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking". I got that from my local library and there were some things that really spoke to me, I had already quit when I read it but it explained some things to me. Happy to have you here. Ellen
