I"m new to this site and wanted to say hello. I'm on day 71 of my quit and I'm feeling pretty good. I still have urges but they are far and few between. Anyone have any tactics they use when urges hit?  Looking for new ways to distract myself.  Thank you 🙂

Looks like you already have some great tips for when those urges hit.  I just wanted to add my welcome to our site!  Congrats on your 71 days!

Thank you Elvan. Yes I did it cold turkey.  I cut way way down and then when I ran out of smokes I just never bought anymore.  I smoked for 30 years so I appreciate all your advice.  You make a lot of associations in 30 years hehehehe.  Anyway I am happy to be here and maybe I can offer helpful advice to someone that needs it.  I want everyone to succeed!

​Thank you Tom; I appreciate the welcome and the congrats!
