Quit date depression.
Once again I have set a quit date to stop smoking. Tuesday, November 18th. As usual, two days before the event, I am going through a deep , suicidal depression. My mind, in advance, just locks on to every negative. It as if I am playing a game with the assorted demons inside my head and losing. Getting my rear end kicked, in fact. Someday, when I've actually quit, if such a day ever arrives, I won't have to go through this anymore.

Maybe you can look at it another way. Instead of performance anxiety, make it a game of "I'm making healthy decisions for myself," or even plan a very gradual weaning off the smokes, rather than a cold turkey.
This addiction is a tough one. I remember. But from this side, I can tell you that you're bigger than the anxiety, bigger than the pressure, and bigger than the cigarette.
I'm picturing you picking up a smoke, looking at it carefully, then breaking it in half while doing a seriously testosterone-fueled victory dance "IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE!" at that smoke you didn't have.
Go for it!
BHD is right. You gotta be bigger than the ciggarette. Maybe some Nicorette gum in the beginning too...? I am really pulling for ya big guy!
