Worried

My quit date is Saturday.  How will it be? I'm worried.  My boyfriend is quitting same day as me - he with the patches and I am using Chantix.  I wish there was a way to sleep through the whole quitting experience and wake up un-addicted!

It will be fine, follow Chantix instructions and just keep reading here on EX. Quitting smoking is a welcomed freedom fron an addiction..... nothing to dread. Many have quit, join us...

I understand your worry. I was terrified too. I found that every morning when I took a deep breath of fresh air it was more and more relaxing. Every minute with out cigarettes is a freedom beyond compare when you look back at what you were chained to before. Best of luck to you both, and don't forget the community is here for you. Nothing helped me more than having them with me.

We all worried - that's the "trick" it plays on us. We are afraid of what we will lose. Please do yourself a favor and read this:

It's a great little book written buy a man who smoked 100 cigs a day - no lie. He just gives you the facts and explains why you are afraid and validates it for you.

Also, visit whyquit.com - that site helped me out so much in the beginning. No lecturing just common sense info and education. 

Nicotine is a powerful nasty drug. Make up your mind you are done with it. Here's a good start for you:

You can do it!

I just found your first post in Forums so am glad you found Blogs.  This is where we all hang out and as I predicted, you already have links to follow.
