Hi @SD2026 Welcome aboard the train!! So glad you found us. I agree with everything Doreen has said. I too am on my 2nd and last time quitting, because who wants to go through the withdrawal symptoms again, not me!! What helped get me through the "act of smoking", I took cinnamon sticks and pretended they were cigarettes. I would suck in the air and pretend it was smoke that I was blowing out. I used them for probably the first couple months of my quit and besides helping, they tasted really nice, a whole lot nicer than cigarettes, that's for sure. If you don't like cinnamon, you can use cut up straws. Do whatever it takes but just don't smoke. I know it's not easy, we all know, because let's face it, that's why we are here. Stay close to this forum and do the daily NOPE pledge every day, it will help you to stay focused. There is a games section too that will keep your find occupied when you want to smoke. Read all the information on here and just remember that YOU CAN DO IT!! We have people here who have been quit over 20 years, newbies such as yourself and everyone else in between. Good luck and I look forward to seeing you on here again! Happy New Year! -
