Education about this addiction is really important to a successful quit, read Allen Carr's "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking"...I read it a little over a week after I quit, took it out of the library. Have a plan for what you are going to do INSTEAD of smoking. I know that you have felt that smoking eases anxiety but the fact is that it contributes to it. This is an addiction and when you are getting your "fix", you feel a little better until it wears off and you need another one. This is a powerful addiction, remember that quitting is a journey and not an event and take things one day at a time. You are not alone, we are all here to help you as much as possible, read blogs, blog, comment, stay close to the site. I am certain that it saved my quit more than once, the people here have been incredibly supportive and have helped me to feel that they understand because they have been where I was...I came here every morning and every evening when I started, I have been free for over five years and I still come here as regularly as possible.

By the way, you are really smart to quit while you are so young, you reduce your risks immensely.
