I'm sorry to hear about your health problems. That sounds like a very serious situation.
I think you have made a great choice to quit smoking - you will love it!
This site has to be the most encouraging spot on the web. Someone mentioned just this week that it's really more like a family. We all want the other person to succeed as much as we want ourselves to succeed! There is a program worksheet that you can do in advance of your quit. Start on the home page. It will give you insight and coping skills so that when the 2nd rolls around you will be ready! Many here have read the Alan Carr books which are extremely helpful to get a positive outlook on quitting. I've read them and they really do paint a new picture of the quitting process.
We welcome you with open arms and open hearts. Feel free to post anytime!
Best of luck to you,

Thanks so much Kelly. I know you know what you're talking about! Thank you for the support.
Todash.... boy, no kidding. I'm thinking of your "saddo" post which I read several times. Well, DUH!
This is how one gets to the place you are in now. Got to work through it differntly. Rework and rewire all those old prompts and emotions!! Kelly said this one time too. You have to muscle through it.
All with a little help from my friends!
I have to say that I am proud of myself for calling the "offending party" and saying what I thought in a calm, cool manner. That just might be a milestone for me - usually I would have crawled under a rock (with a pack of cigarettes, of course).
I knew I didn't want to smoke... I just didn't know what to do. Now, thanks to everyone, I'll meet the next drama with better skills. :)
