Early morning - Committing to Quit

I've been thinking of online support to help me quit smoking for a long time - most of the people I know don't smoke and don't understand.  It's been over four decades of smoking for me and, for a long time, lots of morning promises to cut down or quit cold turkey.  And then the commitment flies out the window.  Smoking has already physically affected me pretty badly, yet it's so familiar and comforting, I run to it when I feel uneasy or am being mindless.  I set a quit date, but want to start today.  History has shown doing it my way doesn't work, so I'm going to trust this process and watch and log my smoking during this prep period.  

I awoke at 4AM and by 5:30AM I had smoked 3 cigarettes.  Sitting out in the back yard, looking at the stars and the moon and thinking, WTH?  So, I walked into the house, registered with this Community, and trying to get real.  This is going to kill me if I don't stop - seriously.  So, here I go.  Wish me luck!
