Cigarette replacement

Does anybody else feel the need to replace cigarettes with something else? Ever since I stopped it almost feels like a part of me is missing. A hug part of my day that brought me stress relief is now gone and I feel empty inside

I have been quit for a while now and still have a jar of cinnamon sticks in my car. I don't reach for them like I once did, but I can't get rid of them.

I also have been known to eat a sugar-free Altoid or 20. They were may biggest substitution.

I added walking to my daily activities, deep breathing exercises, and water. You haven't lost a friend, though sometimes it feels like it; you have gained time and freedom and will learn what to do with them....I promise.
