Withdrawal is a damn rough ride...

[Coconut]

People that know me or people I would go eat at their house, know my eating issues.
They just do not understand it, they think one should be able to eat what they want.
I have had people tell me that.
My Daughter and my Son understand, they have seen me suffer, others do not.

I quit smoking this way. I wrote the time when I smoked one, on the package. Made myself wait a full hour, until the next one. On day two, I increased the waiting period to two hours. Next day, increased the waiting period to 4 hours. By the end of the week, I could go six hours without smoking one. BY week 2, I was able to go eight hours. BY week 3, I had quit smoking. That was ten years ago. I quit drinking at the same time as I quit smoking. The harder one to quit? Tobacco, by a country mile.

It helped that my Wife was never a smoker, and she was a great source of support , telling me how much better I smelled, after quitting smoking. Now I cannot STAND the smell of tobacco. I have one drink per year, on New Year's Eve. A single glass of white wine. JIMB>

My husband smoked cigarettes. He finally quit smoking . He used the nicotine patches, plus went from real cigarettes to a vape. He gradually lessened the nicotine that he vaped to zero nicotine. Then one day he just stopped altogether.

Like you he now can’t stand the smell of tobacco and he smells really nice all the time now.
