The more preparation you do in advance, the better...it will serve you well when you actually quit. PLEASE read YoungAtHeart's comment and do the reading, make your plan. Identifying your triggers and planning for what you will do instead of smoking will really help you. Identifying the triggers may surprise you and pay attention to what actually happens when you smoke...if you are stressed out, when you have that cigarette...does it really help with anything? The fact is that all smoking does is to provide a distraction, you can come up with so many MUCH healthier and more helpful distractions. Get some bubble juice and blow some bubbles. If you smoke inside...stop that now, if you smoke in your car, stop that now, when you want a cigarette, put off smoking for a little longer each time. You CAN do this, we ALL started at a beginning. This site works miracles.
Again, welcome.
