I also changed it up at work as far as the breaks and lunch and did other things like look at my phone at my desk or go somewhere.. don't hang out with your smoker friends at work, and hopefully your significant other doesn't smoke, because that can make it challenging... my significant had a stent put in , because of a 80 percent blockage in a artery to the heart so she had to quit, obviously I couldn't smoke in front of her. So it was more than just my breathing issues why I had to quit.
The Wellbutrin should really help..I used the generic and it was free from my insurance...I had tried chantix, but that didn't work and it has also been taken off the market... The cravings after you eat and other triggers all go away when you get down to 2 cigarettes.. when you get rid of the one at night, you will be able to sleep , because the nicotine levels have dropped... plus you know that one in the morning is waiting for you... so that is the reward.. at that point it is just a matter of when you decide you no longer want to smoke, because when you get down to 2 cigarettes a day, a pack of cigarettes will last you 2 weeks.. when you get down to one.. that pack will last you a month... and you will notice you have more money... because you are not paying over 10.00 for a pack of cigarettes. Hundreds of dollars that are wasted..... and you will be able to walk away from that one cigarette with almost zero withdrawal symptoms..
