So I’ve been smoking on and off for a while and I really want to stop. It’s hurting my family, and it’s way too expensive.

I can deal with the cravings and withdrawals. But what always gets me in the end is how relaxed and at peace nicotine makes me feel. I’m severely depressed and smoking and drinking is the only thing that gives me a way to finally relax and stop thinking all the time.

Is there anything you guys have found that has the same/a similar effect? Weed is illegal where I live, and it’s also expensive if you smoke it often.  I honestly don’t know how I’ll be able to live without that relief smoking gives me.
