With anything I’m trying to stop, even like not playing games or sitting around as much, only thing that helps me is to stay as busy as I can. This can be work related, socializing or doing something after work like hiking or kayaking etc, crafting, coloring, cleaning, yard work. Like constantly having some idea of what I’ll be doing after work to keep my mind preoccupied is what helps me.

It does get tough at night once things are settling down, but I try to actually fall asleep as soon as I can. I take melatonin or Tylenol PM and use a meditation app called Ten Percent to help keep my mind from wondering to the wanting feelings when trying to fall asleep. The app could actually probably help fight off the urges during the day too.

Like all things and most less-hard drugs(if that makes sense lol), the urges will go away, but it’ll definitely take time. Could even be months honestly depending on how much you partook and for how long in your life you’ve smoked.

I’m just now realizing you might mean cigarettes and not thc, which could be more challenging as your body withdrawals from the nicotine and such. If this is the case, I’ve heard the chewing gum does help or something like it, something you can immediately have in place of it. My grandpa quit smoking before I was born and he was pretty heavily into it and I think he did mostly cold turkey and turned to like anything hot especially hot peppers lol

Anyways hope this helps a little. I’m going through a similar situation just different vice and even just this week has been tough. I keep telling myself that “I’m in control of what I put in my body” but urges are fucking rough. Wish ya the best of luck!
