Talk to Psychiatry on Addiction Trigger
Asking For Self, Male 33, Gujrat
I used to consume hashish, alcohol, cigarettes etc. I left all one by one and suddenly without any medication and it's been years but sometimes i feel a weird trigger in my mood and i want to smoke desperately, i even start it, sometimes i smoke for a month and quit again but the trigger keeps coming back although it's been years. Any suggestion would be appreciated

u need proper session n medication to control ur mood if feasible book appointment
Replace it with a healthier activity, something you will enjoy. Nicotine gum and Varenicline can also be used for smoking cessation. For alcohol craving naltrexone can be used.. bunch of other options but really understanding your triggers, developing tolerance to it and having healthy coping skills plus support
join groups where there are other quitters, like there is alcohol anonymous in western countries, you will get a lot insight.
first you need to identify the personal and social cues that lead to trigger
then you can deal with help of both supportive psychotherapy plus pharmacotherapy
