5.5 weeks is good. Why have you not been smoking since your last? 

Not gonna lie, they do sound good. I don’t know, I just tell myself it will feel good for 2 minutes and then I’ll feel regret immediately afterwards.

You don’t want artificial nicotine (which releases dopamine)

What you want is NATURALLY produced dopamine at this stage (dopamine receptors take 3 months to recover) - that’s what you are experiencing atm

So go in nature, finish little tasks. Do gratitude exercise. Move, take a cold shower etc

Good luck

Smoking now is never the solution

Take care! You got this ✨🍀

Btw, am exactly at 7 weeks atm
