Don't give in! One thing that helped me... I forgot where I found it
honestly but many people have made them I'm sure, was a youtube video.

When I want a smoke I look at pictures of damaged lungs, what smoking
does and how it kills you. Some people make videos about loved ones
who died. This one I saw.. showed a man who wasn't too old but looked
like he was 60! His little son was holding him while he was holding a
sign... dying of cancer saying not to smoke.

I also think of my grandparents I lost to lung cancer. And prayer...
lots of prayer.

Basically I try to scare myself and remind myself why it's so
important to stay quit. And chewing gum/candies haha
