What advice would you give to a new quitter?

I just joined and set me quit date for February 13.  Any help or advise you can give will be appreciated.  Thanks, Jeani

Seriously hope you are doing the reading and that you realize that the best bet you have for a successful quit is to make sure you are educated about addiction to nicotine and that you get the support you need.  Prepare a quit kit and list all of the triggers you know of and how strong they are and then plan for what you will do when they come about after you quit...triggers will keep coming and might even get a little stronger as your body adjusts to being nicotine free.  Stick with your quit, stick with us and you will embark on a wonderful journey of self discovery and self empowerment!

Welcome to EX,
