Goodbye letter

Dear Vape,

I wanted to take a moment to say goodbye. We've had our moments together, but it's time for me to move on. I've realized that you're not good for me, and I deserve better. You've been a crutch, a distraction, and a source of dependency, but I'm

The cravings are real.

I bought a vape with no nicotine… quit smoking that a few days ago… I’ll tell you. The thoughts, are strong. More agitation, and quickest to respond to assuming I will go back but I’ve been strong. But oh the cravings. The thoughts, the urges. It’s been s

concentration..

I’ve always had a hard time quitting because of concentration. If I could just take a few weeks off of work to sit by myself I think it would be a lot easier. This isn’t an option though.. I am in management and need to be present at my job. I try to get

Day 5

So I felt like I had less cravings upon waking up today than I did in the previous days of my quit. Yesterday was brutal. Today was not quite as hard all day, but it had moments where I didn’t think I was going to be able to make it. All in all, I am read

Dreams and difficult thoughts

Today is 105 days since I quit. This is roughly around how much time I had last time I had quit for a significant period when I gave into temptation and smoked that one cigarette—which didn’t taste good, give me that “ah” feeling or even enjoy—I journaled

Day almost over, thank goodness!!!

I have almost made it though day three. It’s been fantastically rough and I came soooo close to giving up and buying some cigarettes and going back to smoking. Really touch and go, all day long. I have tons of nicotine gum but I can’t chew it because I ha

Day three part two

I can’t believe how hard this is. I have quit before, and this makes me wonder why I went back to smoking after getting past the first few days and even when I had gone for months! My thinking is not too clear and I feel really tired. Maybe I should just

Day Three

Yesterday (my day 2) was soooo hard to get through without smoking. I didn’t smoke but I was grumpy all day and also became morose and weepy. Really doubted if I would be able to get through all this and if so, at what cost. Finally wrapped the day i by g

Good bye letter

I began smoking as a young child aged 11yrs. Why was it so easy for the cashiers to sell cigarettes to a child? You should not have been able to get to me as a child so easily. I thought I looked cool, and appeared to be older just by the act of smoking.
