Give and get support around quitting

I am a Cigaholic....

Hi my name is Gwenda, and I am trying to break a 30 year bad habit. I welcome support from those that are as serious as I am. It was easy for me to quit when I became pregnant with my kids (x2), but even knowing the side effects and horrible diseases that come with smoking haven't help me to quit otherwise. Because I have never reached the "pack or two a day" level, it is easy to blow it off and say you're ok. All of my test, any thing dealing with the effects have always been normal and no sign of trouble, but do we really want to wait until there is a sign of trouble? I think not, I delay the quit date because I wonder "what will I do with myself", especially in time of stress. But the logical side says that is no excuse, so here I am trying again and praying this time will be the miracle end of this smoking.

Thanks Becky, and congratulations on that year and a half! Today wasn't so bad, but I have been online most of the afternoon. I smoke a lot when I drive, and when I am stressed...these are the time I am really afraid of cause I pick up a cigarette first thing. What did you do under these circumstances? Any suggestion is helpful, thanks!
