@TigerCub Glad you came to the site.  That's the right thing to do.  Get moving!   Can you go for a walk?   It really helps to distract and you get a bonus hit of dopamine.  Deep breathing also helps to ride a crave.

Day 1 can be the hardest, but it will be behind you and you'll be a success one day at a time.

Stay close right now and reach out as much as needed.    You're right--you can do it!

Thank you so much. I am going to try to move and stop just sitting here struggling. Your breathing thing there is incredible. Do you know where I could find something like that?

What do you mean "not going to make it to bed time"?

There are lots of versions.  Here are some different ones.

Hello,

yes, it is now finally (past) bedtime and I made it thank you for asking!! 
I made it through this day with a lot of Red Bull, dum dums, lozenges, NRT gum, breathing apps and tea. 
I know this is going to get better, it is so hard to not think I will stay this hard thinking forever if I don’t “fix” it. 
made it day 1, thanks again for asking
