Then you WILL do it, or actually you WON'T...You won't have to smoke anymore. You'll be FREE! Nothing to be scared of at all.  Come here, do lots of reading, and breathe. We'll be here for you!

Welcome to the site! You have come to the right place - great support here! We all know that fear you mentioned. I smoked for 40 years. I quit over 7 years ago -thanks to this site. But I still remember the fear ahead of time. Turned out that once I got past that - I was able to find freedom!! You can too - stay close! Congrats on deciding to quit!

Hi and welcome! Of course your scared. However you are going into new territory and a whole new life without smoking as a crutch....your going to be feeling that BEAUTIFUL sense of freedom soon! You will go through so hard moments but look at each one as a stepping stone that will be a wonderful gift for yourself.

Read. Read Read...visit here often. You will gain strength in here. Get some Vicks Vapor rub.

I have no idea why, but when I had horrible moment of craves, I had read that if you put some under your nose it helped decrease the crave. WOW did it ever! I had little blue bottles of Vicks everywhere, lol.

We are here for you. So glad you found us. Reach out anytime, someones always here or will be shortly to help.

Get Allen Carrs book, the EASYWAY TO STOP SMOKING. It was also a lifesaver for me.

Welcome!

Welcome to our community!

We all, pretty much, were uneasy the nights before our quits.  Hang tough!

I will give you some reading to do this evening, with enough left over for the first couple days of your quit:  https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/message/109313-for-our-new-years-quitters-and-community-members-t....  Some of it won't pertain to you - but what is will help you understand this addiction - and might even take some of the fear away.

Congratulations on your decision to quit.  Nobody ever regretted quitting smoking too early - MANY regretted quitting too late!

Welcome to EX, please pay attention to the advice given above.  This is not a battle, this is a journey...one day at a time, one step at a time without allowing nicotine to control your every thought.  You will learn about yourself and the person you were always meant to be. None of us were born smoking...we stunted our emotional growth because we smoked, it does not mean that we have to remain there.

Nice to meet you...stay close to the site.  I checked in every morning and every evening, I blogged, I commented, I asked for advice, I LISTENED to what I was told to do and what I was told to expect.  I have been free for close to four years now and I still come here every day if I can.  I take the Daily Pledge in the morning and I ride on the Freedom Train.  You can find links to both under "Celebrations and Events" at the top of the page.  

One of my favorite quotes is from OldBones-Larry‌ "One step and then another will get you to where you want to be." 

Again, welcome.
