If you got a day already, just get another one tomorrow and another one the next day and soon you will have too many to lose.
Try to think of it this way. If it was easy to quit it'd be easy to start back up. The harder is to stop the harder it will be to start back up when you realize it only takes one to get going again. And that's the truth.
I quit smoking three times. The first time, I had put for about 8 months and didn't know that it only takes one to get going again. I thought that since I had already quit it would be no problem if I had a few after the one and then quit again after the few. The you turned into a pack which turned into a few packs which turned into dates which kept getting pushed back. It took me about 2 years before I quit again. This time I knew that I couldn't even have one or I was going to be smoking full blast again.
That one came after surviving the first of many to come Skud missile attacks. I knew I'd be smoking a pack a day from that point until I was ready to quit again. That time came 3 years later on 4.20, of all days. ..4.20.94.
It was tough because I also dipped Copenhagen (not at the same time). What helped me were lifesavers candies and trident chewing gum. Its the right size and consistency to be chewed all day without working out my jaw so much, and it always had flavor.
My thoughts about the patches and the nicotine gum is that they keep you lingering with your addiction to nicotine, making it easier to slip back into using it the way you miss the most.
Think about it like this, they're killing you. ..and you're paying for it. Idk what they cost these days, but think about all the money you'll save and spend that much money on yourself when you get that amount of time away from smoking
HOLY SMOKES!! I just checked. The price of cigarettes in my state is $11.71 a pack?! An iphone 17 pro is about $1,200. That means you smoke an iphone 17 pro every 102½ days.
You should set your sights like that. It wont be long before you lose the craving. ..and please remember this. I really only takes one cigarette to get you smoking full speed again. I dont mean it might only take one, i mean it will only take one.
Best wishes
