Hey, Welcome back
Have you done any of the reading/education/planning/preparation suggested back in August? I hope so. It's really important to understand what is happening and to prepare for how you will respond. You wouldn't jump out of a plane without training, preparation, planning and education, would you? Beating an addiction takes some effort!
Glad to see you back!

Don't Talk Yourself into smoking.
Allow th time to unlearn it.
Be prepared for day two and three. They are often more problematic than day one. Have things to do to keep you busy. Take as deep a breath as you can and hold it when a craving hits. Let it out slowly. Repeat as necessary. Remember that the nuisance feelings are temporary. Remember that temporary is longer than 72 hours. You've smoked for how many years? Temporary is at least 130 days.
Stay close to this site. Read, ReAD, READ. There is a ton of great info. and inspiration here that you have not read yet. Dig for it. It's a good way to kill time and reinforce your quit at the same time.
Remember that I am a wimp ... and I am doing this. Don't be wimp whipped. You can do this!
How is day 1 going?
Be willing, commited, and please spend the time to educate yourself about this awful addiction! and come to this site daily! Welcome!
