Hey all,

I couldn't find a community for helping quit weed but I thought this place might be close for it.

I've quit so, so many times before and I'm tired of the rollercoaster I'm on. I quit, my life gets better, I smoke, my life gets worse. I feel like every time I quit, it just takes one lapse in judgement to go back into it, and it can happen anywhere any time. I need help and I don't know who to talk to.

I saw that N-acetylcysteine can help quit, and I'm wondering if anyone else knows about this or has experience with this supplement?

My grandmother stopped smoking due to my birth. I remember how she would distract herself by having a cup full of Otter-pops/Icees every afternoon. It was enough to keep her busy from the oral fixation of smoking. I haven't seen her relapse at all.

Good example. I went through phases of fruits, nuts, snack mixes, cheese plates, etc. Anything to get past a sudden attack of cravings. 5 minutes later it settles back down, so you just need to get through the initial storm.
