Hi Eileen!
I'm sure that lots of folks in this echo will have helpful suggestions for 
you, but one of the  things that helped ME tremendously when I quit was the 
Stop_smoking echo.  I don't know if you're a sysop or not, but if not, why 
don't you ask your sysop to get that echo for you?... SO many nice and 
helpful people that are going through EXACTLY what you will be.  Between that 
echo, and this one, you should do fine!    I hang my head to admit that I'm 
NOT off the cigarettes at this time, but I did quit for almost a year.  I 
used nicorette gum and the help of Nicotine Anonymous along with the Stop 
Smoking echo.... I really did have it licked, but when I started to slip, I 
didn't recognize it as that--- and so it got the best of me... GOOD LUCK with 
quitting... And I KNOW that you can do it!!!  I'm going to give it another 
try at the Great American Smoke Out!!  Please keep in touch and let me know 
how you're doing!!
