Dee is right, David. There is plenty of help available, specifically for nicotine, to help you get over the hump, but you will have to power through some of it. Addiction is tricky, and in order to successfully remain free, the work must continue, rather than jumping from one thing to another. I mean this in the most respectful way possible, please know you aren’t alone. Many of us replace alcohol with other unhealthy things, like consuming too much sugar, or spending money, etc, and seeing these behaviors for what they are and addressing them is just a part of ongoing recovery. Finding healthy alternatives and discovering why we make poor choices are partly what programs help us with, including SR, after the early phases of recovery. I know you have had success with sobriety, it sounds like stronger support would be a good idea to make it permanent and to not be plagued by any cravings.

Congrats on 30 days, that’s a big deal. Good work.
