Hi ~ I know what it's like to be reliant or addicted to something. I have a very addictive personality, and I'm a recovering alcoholic & addict.
I might be to your benefit to attend some meetings of NA or AA ~ having support while you're trying to stop the smoking is really important. Doing it alone can be very difficult, and it's easy to justify having "just one" to ease your anxiety. Everyone is going to feel anxious when they stop something they're addicted to. That's only normal ~ so is feeling depressed, because you're giving something up that you relied on to make you feel better for so long.
You might talk to your doctor about helping you thru this. I'm sure he can help you too. I wish you the very best of luck ~ and keep us posted on how you're doing. I KNOW you can do this!! It's important for your health.  God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
