Hi sorry this is late. How are you doing? I hope you are doing a little better today. Be proud of yourself for getting this far. I tried not to overwhelm myself by telling myself, just one more hour. After the first week I could finally say just one more day. Just for today. I take the pledge not to smoke today and it helps me. Some days are better than others. Please believe me that nothing is as bad as the first week. After that you will have I don’t want to ever smoke again ,to go through what I went through the first week. Please know that everyone here cares about your quit and wants to help you. Everyone is at different levels of the quit , so there is so much information to help you. I too couldn’t read . I couldn’t concentrate. Walking, excercise helped me. Later reading, puzzles ,adult coloring, praying I now volunteer to help the homeless. It is not just a help to them , it’s a big help to me. It makes me see that what I’m dealing with is nothing compared to them. Please don’t give up. Just don’t smoke today. I know you can do this because after 40+ years of smoking , I’m doing it. I have my ups and downs , but I’m on day112 and I will never go back. Come on we can do this together
