Hi BermudaKid!
Congrats on your decision to quit!
Before you start try to read *Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking. He suggests you don't use the patches (which I did), but the main reason for reading it is because it lays bare the myth that smoking is in any way a pleasure and it certainly helped me during the early days of my quit
When you start your quit -
Use the SSC board to the full.
Post WHENEVER you need help.
Try to encourage others - this creates a positive buzz all round
Reward yourself when you reach a significant milestone - I suggest each day for the first 2 weeks!
All the best with your quit
Mr Ed

HI Bermuda -
Maybe think about moving that quit date up??? LOL!!
Really, you are doing a great thing by preparing yourself - don't overthink it but have all the aids handy. A good thing I found was to print out the posts that "speak" to you and start a journal with them in there. That way you can refer back to them when you need to.
Welcome and I know that you can Own Your Quit!

We're watching ya, Shevie is right 'knowledge is power'. I would also add 'he who dares wins' so prepare yourself, mental attitude is 99% of the battle.

You are definitely on the right track, bermudakid. Learn as much as you can about this addiction before going to war.
Forwarned is forearmed.
Knowledge is power.
