seeking medication

Good day to you,

Smoking is a VERY tough vice to break free from. I would encourage you to buy some toothpicks and keep them on you as if they were a pack of cigarettes (assuming this is about cigarettes, but works for the naughty plant as well) and instead of going for a smoke, go and chew on a toothpick for the full 5ish minutes.

Although all beings are different there is something that I personally learned when I quit, first and foremost you may screw up and you may end up bumming a smoke off someone, there is zero shame in that. Secondly, sure there is nicotine and other addictive additives in there but the main action your mind is searching for is the physical action of smoking, put it to your lips puff blow. That would look weird for an outsider to see someone smoking an invisible cigarette, but regaining the action of having something to occupy your mouth as well as taking it out of your mouth as you speak or every so often, you will one day wake up and notice that you have not had smoke in a few days... Which will lead to weeks months and so on.

Also, not only will you unknowingly quit cigarettes, you will get complimented on bringing the toothpick back in style after a few wise cracks(trust me on this because from experience, man oh man does a toothpick pull positive attention).

Alcohol is a very tough beast to conquer, but it can be done in moderation. You don't want to quit that, nor both, cold turkey because coming from one addict to another (no offense but the truth is we have addictive traits) you will find the next best thing to chase that numbness and that next best thing can ruin everything you worked for.

Try toothpicks for a week, no smoking, it's way cheaper too. If that doesn't work, I would suggest grabbing a can of mints and just pop one in as often as you need to. You can do this seeing that you were able to quit for a period of time. Last thing since I mentioned time, it's the most valuable asset on earth, each passing second cannot be bought back, so every second you have a smoke, know that price tag goes further than just the wallet.

I believe in you, you are here for a purpose
