Hey Guys, My name is Sumanth Jois and I am 24 years old. I started smoking when I was 18 and quit when I was 20. I restarted when I was 22 and haven't been able to stop since then.
I went through this book recently called "Atomic Habits" and the author suggested that to change a stop a bad habit one should replace it with a good habit
So, I tried replacing it with running and these are issues I am facing:
1) I get Shortness of Breath within the first 1 minute of the run
2) I can't go out for a run every time I get a craving - I get cravings throughout the day
3) I really don't enjoy running -- Literally every part of my body hurts
Can you guys share with me what habit you used to replace smoking? And also why you decided to quit smoking at the first place.
Stay,
Sumanth Jois
