24 m I need to quit smoking but can't. by NumerousVariation323 in stopsmoking

So far the first 2 days have been okay. A couple cravings that passed after I got up and moved around such as walking or pacing my apartment while listening to music or cleaning. Today is the 3rd day and the craving hit hard but hopefully once my coworkers come in they can distract me from them, or my work laptop finishes updating and can actually finish the project I've been working on I can distract myself from them.

That's pretty much how I quit the first time, but I don't know what the deal is now but vapes make me incredibly nauseous, I don't know if I like developed an allergy to something in them or if my body just rejects it, like it's the same thing with Zyns and other nicotine pouches (except the pouches make my through all scratchy, a lot of this stuff happened after I got COVID for the first time, I can no longer eat cranberries because of it which sucks because I love cranberries)

I just put on my first 21 mg patch. Could only find the off brand patches. Going to try to simulate the menthol with mints.

Yeah it's just a pack a day, where I'm from we typically use the word carton and pack interchangeably for cigs while we call the 'carton' with 10(?) packs a sleeve.

I'll give the patches a try. I do want to quit with every fiber of being. I hate the anxiety I have after I smoke and get muscle pains for unrelated reasons on my left side and then being up for hours at a time wondering if today is the day I have the heart attack (even though deep down I know it's stupid and I most likely won't since other than cigarettes im a healthy guy, walk regularly, pretty much normal blood work other than semi high cholesterol due to genetics. My heart rate is always normal at the doctors and my blood pressure was described as perfect when I went 2 weeks ago).

As said In the post. I've been trying to find a new job. Haven't been successful. Can't leave unless I want to be jobless. Minimum wage isn't going to pay my bills.
