Howdy. Welcome!
Trying... not think of it as a deprivation, but a choice and celebration! Great attitude with which to begin this journey! Keep it. It will take you far down a much happier experiential road. And starting up exercise again with a personal trainer is a GREAT idea. Exercise helps to replace the endorphins we got from smoking.

You cannot read too much. The more you know about this addiction, the better able you will be to conquer it.

There's a strong search engine here that will help you find topics of your interest (Magnifying Glass icon upper right).
