You can do it Meep. This is a hard thing to do but possible. I don’t know about that supplement, but I know none of the ‘quit smoking’ stuff I tried ever helped for the nicotine part of my addiction. Just pure determination and lots of deflections to trick my treasonous brain. After a while the daily struggle mellows into the new normal. Going on 12 years now. Don’t give up.
My grandmother stopped smoking due to my birth. I remember how she would distract herself by having a cup full of Otter-pops/Icees every afternoon. It was enough to keep her busy from the oral fixation of smoking. I haven't seen her relapse at all.
Good example. I went through phases of fruits, nuts, snack mixes, cheese plates, etc. Anything to get past a sudden attack of cravings. 5 minutes later it settles back down, so you just need to get through the initial storm.
