Hi @Ryan83 Welcome to Quit Train! I too am on my 2nd time quitting (first time was for 6 years), but this time it's my forever quit. Who wants to go through withdrawal a third time? Definitely not me!! You have definitely come to the right place for support! We are a really great bunch of people and many are quit more than ten years, but no matter how long we have been quit, we have all been newbies at one time or another. There is a lot of really good information on this site so please check it out. A couple of things really helped me get through those terrible early days and months of quitting. What I did in the beginning is I would take cinnamon sticks and pretend they were cigarettes, sucking in the air and pretending to blow it out. It did help and plus they tasted really good. If you don't like cinnamon, you can use cut up straws. What also helped me was coming on here every day. In the beginning I vented and complained a lot, but everyone was so helpful and nice. I would do the daily NOPE pledge everyday because I believe that is a big help. Even after almost 2 years of not smoking, I still do it. So that's my advice and Best of Luck to you!
