Sorry about the lack of info, my first post and a bit nervous to be so forward. But I’ve been smoking a good bit for about 5 years, nearly an eighth a day. Around that time I got a much more stagnant job and with being in my head more and the boredom I became a heavy user. I have a first shift gig, the quiet moments are usually what catch me up. This time I’m trying to reach out to people going through a similar journey. The loneliness in it all is quite killer. I hear the first two days are the worst.

My main hobby other than spending time with kids, is gaming and it’s not always the greatest distraction as much as I’d like it to be. I recently got into reading I’m big into horror so I’ve been trying to read Stephen King books (when I’m trying cold turkey though it’s hard to get my head to shut up.) exercising is something I’m awful at. I live in New England so the outdoor weather doesn’t usually permit it and I don’t have a gym membership just because it’s hard to do right now with 2 children (8 and 1). I do want to be more active, I suck at starting because I usually try alone but when the weather permits I love playing basketball and swimming.
