+1 on the “better end” motivation. Not wanting to be a care burden to my loved ones (at least not for preventable reasons) was one of my goals, as well. No knowing what the future holds, but I rest a bit easier knowing that I’m taking positive steps to get healthier and avoid the anguish and resentment that I might have imposed on my family. I’m lucky to have a great spouse/mate and want to hold up my end of that bargain.

As many wise quitters on this forum have said, there are 10,000 things you can do when you’re feeling bored, anxious or angry, but just one thing you can’t - stick something in your mouth and set it on fire. Just take smoking off the table and you’ll go far! I used to keep a running Honey-Do list of small tasks that needed attention around the house. Nothing herculean, just little fiddly stuff to keep my hands and mind occupied when a craving hit. Things like wiping out the recycling bins, tightening a loose drawer pull, tossing out expired stuff from the back of the fridge. My favorite was “speed weeding” dashing outside to a flower bed, yanking weeds furiously for 5 min, then dashing inside again. The neighbors thought I was nuts, but I kept that quit!
