Hi,

Focus on your recovery, rather than the fact that you're not smoking. Do new things, find new hobbies, do the things you've been postponing and etc.

Sport helps a lot. Be active, do new things, meet new people.
The first week or two are the hardest. Then it gets easier, to the point where you don't have withdrawals at all.

As RT said, don't substitute with alcohol, even - stay away from it. It will trigger the same paths in your brain and recovery will be harder, also cravings may occur.

Just intend that you want your life to be different and better and go for it.
It may seems hard now, but believe me - that's just temporary.

Read on other's people threads - that helps a lot too. There are tons of good advises here.

I'll suggest going cold turkey - I'll be hard for a couple of days, but then you'll be feeling much better.

Good luck and keep us posted!
