Making Preparations

I have begun telling friends that I have set Saturday as quit day. Everyone wishes me good luck but some are skeptical that I can do it.

I purchased what will be my last packet of cigarettes today.

I realize that this will not be easy. I have some nicotine gum and patches at hand to help with the withdrawals and I am planning a weekend with lots of physical activity, swimming , etc. And I plan to keep myself arms distance from temptation the first days.

Tomorrow I will clean house and collect up my smoking paraphernalia.

I have not yet made any announcement to family, that will wait until Saturday.

I am also going to book a nice massage Saturday to get me in the right mindset for this journey.
