We have all been where you are, we have all dealt with the beginning of our quits. Quitting is not an event, it is a journey, one day at a time and when that's too long, make it one hour at a time. It is a very good idea to have a plan and to be prepared to do something other than smoking when you feel a crave. Remember that no crave ever killed anyone but no one can say that about cigarettes. I came here every morning and every evening when I quit smoking. I read everything that was recommended to me, I read blogs, I commented, I asked for advice when I felt like I needed it and then I TOOK it. I believed it when I was told that it would get easier with time. It was not an easy beginning but it DID get easier and now I have more than 6 1/2 years of freedom. We are here to help you in any way that we can. You can come here to vent ANY time. I can promise you that there is someone at exactly the same place you are or else someone is just about to be there or has just passed it. That's how this works, we lean on each other and we learn from each other. I do not think I would still have a quit without this site. Just think, you are probably helping someone right now.
