Welcome Keliza!
Everyone is scared to quit. Fear of the unknown, of not knowing WHO you are without being a smoker. Afraid of what to do with all the extra time you have on your hands. And of course, being afraid of going back to smoking.
For myself, these fears have stopped me from trying to quit in the past. The actual physical addiction was a concern , but I knew it would not last forever. The mental issue is the hardest part for me right now. I ask myself, How will I reward myself after I do a load of laundry or doing the dishes? How will I handle a situation that causes me stress? How will I deal with "smoke breaks" at work?
Well, I am just doing it! Minute by Minute, hour by hour, day by day. Coping by doing the skills I have forced myself to learn.
You know what, as time passes it IS getting easier! I know is will get easier for you too.
Walking, deep breathing, posting on this site and getting positive feedback from everyone on here. Oh, and drinking lots of water :)
Just remember one thing, your life will not end if you stop smoking.
