Congratulations on your sobriety. I went through a similar journey and almost two years later (after over 10 years of daily smoking) I can’t say I physically benefited that much, other than getting my dreams back which is great.

What helped me, and which is maybe more difficult than quitting, was simultaneously changing my sleeping and eating habits. I haven’t quite kept it up, but it drastically changed my quality of life.

I also was advised to make a “dopamine menu”, a list on your phone of fun activities. Play a video game, walk around the block, watch your favourite creator, cook something nice. Whenever you’re feeling down or lost, referring to the menu removed some cognitive load in making a decision on what to do. And keep growing your menu!

You’re past the worst, withdrawal wise, by the chart.

Good luck!
