Hi everyone! My quit date was March1st, but I stoped smoking on February 26th. I have been doing well. Now that I'm not smoking I'm eating more. I'm craving sweets which I never really cared for. Any suggestion for me?

Well congratulations to you!  Maybe try snacking on fruits and veggies.  Also sugar free mints might be a good option.

Hi and congratulations on your quit!  You may want to check out https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/ .  In my early days of quitting, I munch on carrots and celery, chewed gum, had mints, and sucked through a straw.  I also allowed myself 3 months to get acclimated to not smoking before I addressed the dietary stuff.

Welcome to EX, I sucked on Sour Patch Kids because they were so sour that they distracted me, unfortunately, they are full of sugar.  One thing that helped with my sweet tooth but wasn't horrible was frozen cherries or blueberries.  I would keep a little bowl of them next to me along with a spoon because they stain fingers.
