The only way out is through friend. Good you’re posting here. You got this! Cravings aren’t imperatives, they’re just reminders from our addicted brains. Don’t give in!
Maybe have a look at this thread, for inspiration, and a source of support and knowledge:

Great work on your alcohol and gambling. Over one year is impressive. 2 weeks smoke free time is also great.
Like Menno said - join us on the Grumpy smokers thread. Many great pointers and helpful tips as well as a lot of support.
Makes sense that our minds seek other vices in a effort to escape. In recovery I found that after my first 6 months or so I had to start looking into what was causing me to escape. You have worked through some hard addictive cravings. You are strong enough to push through these too. Keep checking in and keep stacking up the days

You made it over a year on the other struggles in your life and you can make it through this one too. Stay focused, and allow yourself to feel the desire. It’s fine, let it pass, and move on with your day.
You’re an inspiration to myself and others man, you can do this.
