it really starts to suck once the physical withdrawal really kicks in after 72h and then stays sucky for a few weeks while you break the mental addiction / habit aspect.

i found the patch helped me quit every time i attempted and was what i did for my final, successful attempt.

in the meantime, find something else to do for 5-10 minutes. get a game on your mobile that you can play a round or two of. check CE. anything but spending money on your own eventual suffering and death.

something that really helped keep me off tobacco was realizing that the part of quitting that is the worst (first few days / week) is the part i repeat the most with every attempt. so after i got over the worst part, whenever i'd have a craving again i'd just tell myself "you don't wanna deal with the withdrawal again and reset yourself back to day 1". i view each day i have under my belt as progress that will be erased if i relapsed.

i also made a point to tell everyone i knew i was quitting to help hold me accountable. having to look people in the eye and say "yes, i failed AGAIN" was a good motivator for me.

YOU GOT THIS BRO
