Welcome to EX You bhave come to the right place for support. One quick tip. Replace the cigarette with water.  Deep breathing exercises will help. Relearning your thinking that you do not have to smoke or vape is a good beginning.  Make a commitment never ever take another puff.  NOPE.  Take smoking off the table as an option and do something different. 101 Things to Do Instead of Smoke SINAO smoking is not an option.  That is NOPE concept not one puff ever. It is not by will power but your willingness to let it go forever.   Quitting is the easy part.  Staying quit takes work.   Learning to protect your quit will keep on your journey forever freedom. This journey is one day at a time.  Never give up, never give in. Hang tough Stay Close.

Welcome to EX...recovery from this addiction is one day at a time and there is no way to hurry it up.  It's a roller coaster of emotions at the beginning but it does get better.  I suggest you come here every morning and every evening and any time in between when you feel tempted.  Remember that no crave ever killed anyone but no one can say that about smoking.  You absolutely CAN do this and you do not have to do it alone.
