   Hi dvmp,
   
   I know it can be scary to quit.  Just even thinking about quitting used to make me break out into a cold sweat!  But you can do this, especially because you are so determined to do it.  Are you planning to use any NRTs, or are you going to go cold turkey?  Whatever you decide, remember to drink lots of water, because it will help you get rid of the toxins in your body.  And try to distract yourself, especially with things you like to do.  And post here often, because we are all here to help each other through the process.

   Welcome dvmp,
   
   You have come to the right place. I have found these forums very helpful on my own quit journey. I am now just over a month smoke free and felt the same way as you at the start.
   
   Wishing you every success,
