Stay with us Latoya You will find you are no different than us. We all had to find our way and we all completely understand what you are going through. No one knows about quitting better than a quitter

Distract yourself in what ever way works for you Latoya. For the first few days, I binge watched movies and stayed on here a lot, reading, reading and watching videos about this addiction. It really helped me understand just what smoking is. There's also a games page here that you can navigate around and spend mindless hours just distracting yourself. Learn to embrace the quit process because your body and mind are once again learning how to function like they did before you started smoking. It takes a while but everything does for sure get better as long as you just resist the urge to smoke again - NOPE is the key! Not One Puff Ever

^^^ Yes - this is true (what MQ said). See the addiction for what it is and know that it does nothing positive for you

There's no right or wrong way to quit Latoya. Many use NRT items such as the patch, gum or spray. Others use Chantix or similar aids to help them quit. Using an aid will mean you need to discontinue it at some point but the thinking is that by time you will be able to handle it better. Myself, I used patches for the first couple of days then just said the heck with them! It may have been more difficult but after a few days, I had the nicotine out of my body. Then, there was just the mental part of quitting - you know, learning to deal with not smoking while living my life again as a non-smoker. It has worked out for me though. Commitment to quitting is very important!
