this might sound ridiculous, but being broke actually helps you quit smoking lol. idrk about where you live, but in my country, a pack of cigs costs about as much as a nice meal or a fancy drink. so i js set a mindset that i could get something way more enjoyable instead of buying cigs. or maybe try tearing open nicotine pouches and snort the contents. mint and menthol are the best ;;) anw ik quitting isnt easy and def not something you can do overnight. just take it one step at a time, but try not to smoke too often.
see reddit on stop smoking? i never did smoking i have only smoked once and im guilty, i think smoking looks so cool. idk abt nicotine addiction i heard it's genuinely so bad. but all my other addiction i quit cold turkey, i quit caffeine cold turkey, sugar cold turkey, yaoi cold turkey. do it for 1 month and then u will not be that addicted.
If there are places where you’re more likely to feel the urge to do those things, I would try to avoid them as much as possible. This can be hard though because home is likely one of those places and you can’t just never go home. I sh’ed for years, and I know being alone in my room would just drag me down into the depression trenches. I would try to distract yourself as much as possible with things you enjoy (that aren’t harmful of course). I’ve never smoked or anything, but for sh you can touch ice to your skin, eat really sour candy, just things like that that kind of hurt but don’t actually injure you. I’ve heard candy can help with smoking too, but I’ve never smoked like I mentioned so I can’t say whether that works. Maybe try looking up how harmful it is and scare yourself into stopping? Idk
You can also try exercising a shit ton or just doing something that makes you exhausted to the point you’re too lazy to even sh. What helped me stop though was a mixture of finally getting the right meds, getting out of the fuckass school I was in, and my anxiety and self image getting better. I’d say improving your self image is probably the biggest thing to help with sh (I’m not saying you hate yourself, I don’t know you, but I think it’s usually the root of why people sh). The biggest issues for me was extreme self hatred and bad social anxiety, so improving those helped a lot. I was in therapy the whole time, but it didn’t help me too much with sh. Though it could be helpful to you if you’re open to it.
Sorry for the long message, I wish you the best!
