Ugh it sucks hard. I feel like I’m gonna die without a little hit here and there

first step is changing your identity
think of yourself as someone who used to smoke nicotine
Yeah I like this idea. Like I read about visualizing life as a nonsmoker
identity - outcome - goal
those are the different levels you can think of. changing the identity is the best way to go
create and follow a system to quit nicotine, and the goal will fulfil itself
Can't recommend Allen Carr's audiobook Easy Way to Quit Smoking. I still smoke, but have used it multiple times to quit for years at a time lol full disclosure. It's easy to start again is the problem. Now I smoke cigars
a tiny tiny amount of those terrible horrible nicotine lozenges do help a little to get over the first 10 day hump. exercise and lots of movement is probably better to help with the nerves. I remember it taking at least over a week to reset the habit of reaching for it. the beginning is the hardest part
Yeah I need to like make a schedule or something so that I’m moving around and busy. Am also eating a ridiculous amount, which is a silver lining
