@AJ27 Welcome to the Ex. Please consider posting your own post to My Journal/Blog to introduce yourself to the community and receive some well deserved support. Super excited for your quit day tomorrow.
It's important to understand that nicotine is an addiction. When armed with that knowledge, quitting becomes more possible. There are psychological habits attached also, so we have to work on both. Early on it's the physical addiction we have to work through. The psychological part takes longer. We've attached every emotion and activity with smoking so it takes some work to find new associations to replace the old.
So educate yourself about nicotine and create a quit plan. Along with the support of fellow quitters these two steps has meant success for many smokers.
