I've tried many times in the past to plan a date when I'd eventually stop. For me, that date got pushed back again and again and again until I said forget it and just ignored the fact that I even needed to quit. When I finally (recently) quit, I just said TODAY and got rid of all my pipes, bags, everything. For me, I can't be around it at all, at least not this early on. It's not easy but it's simple if that makes sense. I've found tons of support here on SR, gone to AA and family group meetings, and done a lot of reading. Although I still have cravings, I've found that the feeling of sobriety at the end of each night is a much better "buzz" than smoking or drinking my life away. Best wishes to you and just know, it can be done! If you ever wanna chat, feel free to PM me
