My quit date is not until May 1, which shows how scared I am.  But, I am taking steps to quit before my quit date (as we speak), daily.  

[Zachzam]

I’m in the same boat, supper scared cause of all the things I associate with smoking like friends and new perspectives I gained. But what I am feeling is true is that it wassnt the smoking that connected me, it was the feeling of connection I had to other people that I thought was the smoking that was doing it. When it was something else that was making the connection. Idk if any of this makes sense but I pledge today to help you in showing my support for you. I found that reducing over time is great cause I feel like it gives you time to weed your garden of life in steps vs all at once. My quit day is coming up this week and I am focusing on the feeling I have of being smoke free and it’s now not all that appealing to smoke. Exciting to find new habits with all this new found time.

Zachzam‌, Isobel's post is two years old. When you quit, you can take the Daily Pledge, here is the link https://community.positivelysmokefree.com/discussion/3482/finding-peace 

I suggest that you write a blog and introduce yourself to the community, you will get  LOTS of responses that way.  I had a quit plan, I kept track of my triggers and which ones were the strongest and then I made a plan for what to do INSTEAD of smoking when they happened and they DO happen.  I think writing it all down made me much more aware of what was triggering me.  I came to this site every morning and every evening and I made NOPE, Not One Puff Ever my mantra.  I said it over and over and over again.  I read everything I could find about nicotine addiction and when I was given advice by an elder, I took it.  I believed them when they told me that it would get easier and they were so right, it DID.  I have been quit for over 6 1/2 years now, thanks to this site.

Welcome to EX.
