Hi @tkon Welcome to the Train! You have come to the right place for support, as we are a really great group! Quitting is definitely hard, as you know, but it's totally doable. If I can quit, anyone can, as I was so addicted to cigarettes. What I used in the beginning to help me with the cravings, was pretending that cinnamon sticks were cigarettes. I would suck in air from the hole, and pretend that I was blowing smoke out, plus it tasted really good. If you don't like cinnamon, you can use cut up straws. The thing with withdrawal is that it doesn't last forever, thankfully, and the longer you stay quit, the less it becomes. I am quit almost 2 years and I rarely get an urge anymore, and if I do, it's just a fleeting moment and not a physical urge. So my advice to you is come on this site everyday, at least for the first 3-6 months! Vent to us when you need/want to, as we have all been through the same thing, some had it easier, and some had it more difficult, but we all had some sort of symptoms of withdrawal. Do the daily NOPE pledge every single day. Of course you can do it everyday even after 3-6 months. Even after almost 2 years, I find it helps me and keeps me focused. There are a lot of reading material and videos, so take a look at those too. Oh, and if you want something to do with your time when you aren't smoking, there is a really fun game section on here. So, good luck to you and I hope to see you on here again soon! 😀
