[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 250064, member: 3907"] Wow Sue! You're doing really well in preparation for the big day. The steps you're taking (getting rid of coffee, exercising, finding replacement habits, not telling anyone about your quit day) are all the things I did when I was getting ready to quit, and they worked very well for me too. The one thing I found really helpful was a sort of home-made aversion therapy kit that I came up with. I used to love smoking too, so I needed something that would really put me off it. When quit day was approaching, I took a large glass jar, and started using it as my one and only ash tray. When the jar was about 1/2 full, I put about an inch of water in the bottom. It smelled appalling. Like mule-chokingly bad. In the early days after quit day, every time I wanted a cigarette, I would open the lid of my jar and take a deep breath in. The smell would nauseate me so much that any desire for a cigarette disappeared. It also gave me a great visual reminder of all of the icky things that smoking would do to my body. Don't know if this is your thing, but it worked really well for me. All the best with your quitting. We're in your corner. Trinity [/QUOTE]
