@alishadawn1218 Welcome to the Ex and congrats on your decision to quit. Congrats on the twins. It's not only the best thing you can do for them, it's the best thing you can do for yourself.
I have numerous attempts at quitting and it finally took me 50 years to get it right. What was different this time? I had a quit date, an aid, a class and cut down for a week. Sounds like a road to success. I was fortunate to find the Ex a week prior to my quit. I learned about nicotine addiction and that I needed a plan that would prepare for what I was going to encounter on my journey. And for the first time, I had the support of fellow quitters.
Take the time to learn how to do this. Part of it is mindset and part of it is hands on work identifying triggers, what tools you'll use, what associations you'll create instead of smoking, etc. Spend time on the site, getting a well as giving support. The early days take commitment so why not have other quitters to help you deal with the up and downs of this journey.
