ralphaguilar16  Do take advantage of the time between now and your quit date to read about nicotine addiction and to prepare yourself for a life that is free from nicotine.  We have ALL been where you are and we were all scared and excited at the same time.  Go to the sign in page and click on "My Quit Plan"...it will help you to track your cigarettes and figure out what your triggers are.  Once you have done that, you can plan to do something OTHER than smoking when you experience a trigger.    Triggers don't go away, they DO get weaker and weaker and eventually, they become memories.  You can make NEW memories.  Plan to drink lots of cold water, I ate sour candies to change my focus...they worked pretty well except that my poor mouth felt like it was constantly sore from the candies.  It really IS the beginning of a new life for you and it is such a good choice that you are making.
