First time opening up

I started trying to quit at the start of this month and have taken care to be mindful of triggers and patterns that lead to relapses as well as really searching within myself to understand the impact it has had on me which combined has given me strong drive to do it. This is my first time making a post on here and i talked to my friend about it for the first time which has been a huge help and makes it feel less intimidating as he went through this in the past.
