Hi Rusty: Thanks for the vote of confidence. Maggie

Hi everyone - I would be a new kid on the block. I have been smoking on and off for 27 years and I am ready to quit for good. I am very tired of being a slave to cigarettes. I have decided my quit day will be January 06, 2007. But as I sit here typing I am thinking why put off tomorrow what can be done today.

I just quit today, Maggie, with the same thoughts as you. I twice woke up thinking 'why not today?' and ended up suspecting if I pre-empted my quit date I may be open to an excuse! Crazy I know but I quit when I said I would and feel unbelievably strong today. Wishing you all the best in your ash-kicking!

Maggie, welcome. I'm impressed with your commitment. But if you have a plan, stick with it. I was on this site for I think two weeks in anticipation of my quit. But, then again, you have nothing to loose by not putting a cigarette to your mouth today. Even if you put one there tomorrow, you will have in your mind and guts the time not spent smoking today. Glad to have you. Stay close.

Maggie - Join the bandwagon...So many new quitters here - You can all form a great support group for each other. I so much value the friends from SCC who travelled through those first weeks with me as a wailed and whined. (Actually, it wasn't that bad - I only wailed and whined every other day or so) Anyway - Get your tools ready, keep posting - There will always be lots of support here for you along the way!

Hi Maggie, lots of people have the same kinds of thoughts. Once you have that determination, why wait? Others have found it helpful to plan their quit, reading as much as they can, working the program workbook, and asking questions. I was one who just quit without any pre-thinking, but if I had to do it over, I think my quit would have been a little easier if I'd had a better idea what I was doing. In any case, you will find lots of information and support here and elsewhere on the internet. And welcome to the SSC! (By the way, lots of us smoked for many years, and are now non-smokers. You can do it, too!)
