@Brad1974 Welcome to the Ex and congrats on your decision to quit. Have you quit already or preparing for your quit?
t's important to understand that nicotine is an addiction. When armed with that knowledge, quitting becomes more possible. There are psychological habits attached also, so we have to work on both. Early on it's the physical addiction we have to work through. The psychological part takes longer. We've attached every emotion and activity with smoking so it takes some work to find new associations to replace the old.
So educate yourself about nicotine and create a quit plan. Along with the support of fellow quitters these two steps has meant success for many smokers.
This link is a great lace to start. Learn how to identify your triggers, the tools you'll use, creating new associations instead of smoking, etc.
