Research. Drink lots of water, get up and move around more than normal. Expect some side effects so you don't get disheartened when it happens. Don't make any expectations of it - reward yourself with positive talk for every day completed. Keep your diet in check - avoid sugar and caffeine ... start looking into new coping mechanisms ... again without any expectations.

Make sure your decision is not half hearted. Do it with confidence knowing your going to Stop because you know you want to and because you know you can do it. Remind yourself why your doing it.

Good Luck - YOU CAN DO IT! ;)
