Hi cc91,
Everyone is different, but I would find it torture to do such a long count down. As Lillian suggested, maybe you should read through the material here, do the exercises, and then give yourself 24 hours to gather yourself before you quit. There is some really helpful information and great ideas on this site, and they will help you to prepare for a successful quit. And maybe do some more research on NRTs. Maybe the gum alone will not be enough to get you started. Have you considered using the patch? Or Champix? Read through what others have posted about their experiences with these products. They are there to help you quit.
Whatever you decide, we are with you 100%, cc91. Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions you could ever make. Welcome to the world of people striving to be non-smokers! It's hard, but we can do it!
