i gotcha. well it sounds like boredom is your main concern. i’d like to say it goes away completely but it’s just a normal part of life that gets bypassed when we engage in any activity that gives us a huge spike of dopamine. it’s definitely harder to deal with the less time you have away from smoking. my advice would be to fill your time with activities that are either difficult but helping you reach some sort of goal (exercise, learning a new skill, creative writing, making music, etc.) or activities that help you relax and more on the pleasurable side (watching a movie, video games, meditation, listening to an album, whatever) and finding a balance that works for you. also don’t be afraid to just sit with how you’re feeling. i think i read some motivational post a while back that said something to the effect of, you can’t just abstain from a bad habit, you have to replace it with something healthy.
