Advice on the lead up to stopping smoking!

I am planning on stopping smoking (takes deep shuddering breath) - don't know why I am so scared but I am. Basically I want to prepare myself over the next few weeks (may even be a week/days) and want some tips (tried and tested) on anything I should do. I have contacted the local cessation clinic, although haven't heard back yet.

My reason - I don't want to die and I want to see my ds grow up. Also am a single mum and can't afford to leave my ds.

I have quit twice before, once when I was pregnant and once before that for 6 weeks (using patches) oh and before that for 6 hours.

I don't ever smoke inside, but still manage to smoke 20 a day - lets just say Gardening has become a passion .

How should I prepare? I really want to get it right this time, the only problem is is:

  1. I enjoy it.
  2. I am petrified of having the constant craving/feeling like something is missing forever.

Please, be nice!
