quitting smoking

I'm 39+2 and I'm really trying to quick smoking cigarettes before my little girl gets here. I know I should have quit when I found out I was pregnant, but I just never did. I'm looking for ways to substitute the smoking for something else. Any ideas? Please don't judge or be rude, I'm trying!

I definitely know what you mean about the anxiety. That was the biggest problem about me quitting. I got so anxious all the time causing me to smoke but I realized at the time, the previous relationship and situation I was in was causing the anxiety. After cutting a few loose ends, that made quitting much easier.

That's the main reason I want to quit. My babies father isn't in her life so I'm taking care of her finically by myself. I get very anxious when I don't have one. I mainly want one when I'm in a car, when I wake up, and after I eat.

I like that putting the cig money in a jar idea!!  Then you are getting something out of quitting and realizing how much of a money drain it is!
