Until you accept your choice to not smoke, you will flounder.

I don't know what kind of preparation you did.

Setting a quit date means nothing if your head is in the wrong place.

Smoking was a choice.

Quitting is a choice

So this must be the new quit day.  Good for you.   Lots of quitters on the site spent time sleeping at first.  You're body needs to heal so do what works for you.  I'm someone that had to stay busy.  There is no denying it's hard at first but it will get easier.   Did you create a Quit Plan and have tools in place?  It's so important to be prepared in advance.  Change up your routine, go for a walk, chew on straws--and there's lots of other things you can do.  There's much to read on this site with suggestions on how to cope with withdrawal and cravings.   Stay close and reach out if you need help. 

I don't do that anymore!     You got this on day at a time.

You need to understand I have ptsd and mental issue even when I set my mind to something the addiction is still going to battle with me and until the stronger part of my brain sets in it will battle that is part of my mental weakness but you know nothing of that you just assume that everyone can just say I quit and walk away I’m a very strong person but through somethings I have to battle through them I don’t have same ability most do to just say it’s over I spent seven years getting beat on just because I let wrong side of my brain win too long so rude comments does not help this process for me and if you can not be supportive keep your opinions to your self I will beat this but my way don’t need negativity bringing out hardest part of my brain to fight

I'm sorry you interpret truth as a rude comment. No one said you could just turn it off. I was trying to plant a seed you could water. Good luck.

No one is judging you or trying to make this harder.  PTSD is very real and I know that it can come from any number of things...I suspect more people suffer from it than are aware.  They just think it is their normal.  You just need to take care of yourself in whatever way works for you.  Try to understand that no one wants to make this any harder for you.
