I'm quitting smoking: cold turkey style

I'm quitting. This has gone on for far too long. I ruminate on the fact to quit smoking for 7 years now. I remember the end of the first month where I was like: "I should quit before this habit grips me".

And everybody told me early on to rather quit. I was stupid not to listen. 😒😖Some words of encouragement for my super "down lows" would be nice. Also I'm na HSP so my mentals state tanks at times. 🤕

But I had done it one.
In the hospital. In traction. Ok on morfine for some severe bone breaks as well. Fact is, I quit for 6 and a half months. 😊

I've never had to try to quit smoking, but I'm told cold turkey is the only way that works. I will tell you that when you're trying to break a habit, I've found it leaves a void that needs to be filled.

@LordShadowfire That is totally true. I will replace that habit with a healthier one: e.g. exercises and/or reading. I drenched my Vapes in water and threw them away. I still have my month's supply of cigarettes though🤔
I literally crave opening a fresh packet and lighting one up. I feel like leaving it standing there. Like I get a comfort from it that I can tap out whenever I like. Though that's probably not a good idea for the long run...
