Anxious to quit

[HAJones]

I am anxious to quit smoking. But that’s just the problem. I am afraid I am never going to be fully “ready” to quit. I am convinced I want to quit, but get anxious when I near my quit date that I make excuses and get scared and push it off. Using excuses of events, gatherings and other things to justify why I just can’t quit that day. It’s just that though. It’s an excuse. But I just don’t know how to over come it. A close friend of mine recently quit a few months ago. She just quit. And I am so beyond proud of her, but a small part of me can’t help but feel jealous of her for being able to do it. I just don’t know how to get over this first steps. I am hoping if I can just start, I will be able to stay strong. Just need to get that door open first.
