First of all you are done with the first step...thought to quit smoking.
The next thing u have to know that healing from addiction not spontaneous , it takes time. In the middle of time u may get back or fail. At this moment u need patient. And continue the process never give up.
So here is some of my suggestion.
1. If you believe in God and practicing spritual ....prey.
2. Stay busy.
3. Go to gym at least 4times per week. U can attend martial art.
4. Discover the reason u smoke..that help u to solve from the root. It may be related with psychological problem , trauma...
5. When u need to smoke instead use chewing gum.
6. If you get it hard or u struggled ....at least decrease the number to half per day and proggress until the final.
6. You have to chenge your environments and far away from the triggering factors.
If you have to cut off ur friend , do it.
7. Find another habit....means replace by good one.
8. If you don't proggress, do give up. Instead take therapy.
9. I wish u all the best bro!
