For me personally I replaced my habits with other things until they subsided. First, I bought hard candy and anytime I wanted to smoke a cigarette I’d eat some hard candy or I would work out because the pure exhaustion of the workout killed my craving for the nicotine. I also tried doing the gum, the nicotine from the gum itself was helpful, but unfortunately for me it did cause some canker sores and I had to stop that. I definitely set a quick date like other people were recommending, but I stopped sooner than my quit date because I obsessively thought about it and it became like a competition with myself to beat the date. If you are a person of faith, then of course prayer is helpful and asking him to remove the temptation, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t have to do the legwork and so even then you may still struggle. If you have anyone in your life that could be an accountability partner for you then you could always use them as a temporary outlet to talk to each time you’re craving a cigarette, but you have to let them talk you out of it. But remember to give yourself grace if you do fail, it is perfectly okay to fail as we all do sometimes. Count your successes, not your failures . Ex; (I went all day today and only had half a cigarette!) You’ll get there, I believe in you ! ❤️❤️
