Preparing To Quit:

Overview of the Basic Steps ~
In keeping with my 'quitting soon' theme;
here's a shorter version of the ~ 11 Steps ~

Remember, just thinking about quitting may make you anxious.
But your chances will be better if you get ready first.
Quitting works best when you're prepared.

**Note:I shamelessly copied these from

http://www.smokefree.gov/quit-smoking/index.html --

** Let's never mind the fact for now that our Government continues to profit excessively off tobacco products -- for our purposes here we'll just concentrate on our shared goal of becoming Smoke Free!

~ Before you quit ~

START by taking these five important steps:

S = Set a quit date.
T = Tell family, friends, and coworkers that you plan to quit.
A = Anticipate and plan for the challenges you'll face while quitting.
R = Remove cigarettes & other tobacco products from your home.
T = Talk to your doctor about getting help to quit.
(I highly recommend this one --
as you may know because I've written it multiple times.)
