It's 'Q - day' today

'Q - day' is my quit day.
I have decided to quit smoking today. I KNOW it's going to be very hard but I have my trusty NRT patches with me and plenty of will-power so I sincerely hope that I can succeed this time. I'd really like a bit more enthusiasm than I'm currently getting from a few friends and family. The comments of 'oh you'll never manage it, it's just too hard' and 'it won't last, look at the last time you tried' aren't really much help :(
I admit, I have tried several times in the past to quit but have only managed less than a week. I am adopting the motto of 'If at first you don't succeed...' and I'm sure I'll try very hard this time.
So, day 1...

I think the worst thing is thinking about needing/wanting a cigarette. The patches should help a little with the withdrawl symptoms so i just need to try and keep my mind off needing/wanting a cigarette, which shouldn't be too hard for a scrapper. I've got loads of photos that I'd like to scrap, a journal for the 'Yorkiegirl 2007 Journal' (on UKS) to start and a few final plans for our wedding to do. Did I mention my wedding? My wonderful partner and I are getting married on Valentines day this year and I'm filled with so many emotions. The worse ones are subsiding now and JOY and EXCITEMENT are the headers :)
There's still a few things that need doing for the wedding, and I must admit that I'm starting to panic a little that they won't be sorted in time. Thanks to a few WONDERFUL friends (Two off UKS) and one from another forum that I go to/post on) most of the big, important things are all in hand. I will publically thank them all soon (I'm superstitious and don't want to reveal too much before the big day)

See, that wasn't too hard was it (to detract myself from thinking about smoking, and talking about something else)

OK, I better sign off for now and go and get dressed (it's a little after 10am, but it is Sunday so I can be forgiven for not being dressed yet) and get ready for som grocery shopping. Fun eh?! But the kids and DP do need feeding at some point and I feel like 'Old mother Hubbard' today LOL.
I hope whatever you're doing you keep safe xx
Bye for now and please keep your fingers crossed for me.
