Thanks, sao. I am looking into different options at the moment, because I need to ...well, I can't say 'figure it out' ... find a way of dealing with it. Make the cravings manageable. I literally got triggered today by doing nothing other than 'walking out of my room in the morning'. It continued like that through the day. Maybe today was necessary for me to realise how bad the situation really is and that's it's not going to be a walk in the park.
I had some nicotine gum from my past visit to the UK. I chewed one of those during the day and it did lessen the cravings for a while. Ultimately, I still made the choice to smoke once I came upon some cigarettes.
In a way I am glad that I didn't try to do this in extremely early sobriety. I feel that it might have derailed that undertaking. Now I know that smoking is a major trouble and I need to come up with a plan. Then follow it to the T.
End of Day 186. I did not drink today.
