Give and get support around quitting
I quit smoking 3-4 years ago and transitioned to vaping. I’m talking about the fancy vaping with a mod, tank & e-liquid - much more potent than Juul which I tried but didn’t satisfy me. I quit 2 days ago and I think it’s even harder than quitting smoking! The addiction is more insidious because I would vape constantly instead of stepping outside to have a cigarette once in a while. Since there was no smoke smell, I vaped everywhere...in my house, bed, car, in front of my daughter, and secretly in public bathrooms and other places. I got so used to holding my vaporizer in my hand ALL the time. Now it’s in the dumpster and I’m chewing nicotine gum. It’s been difficult, to say the least. Anyone in a similar situation or someone who could offer some advice?
I recently quit 5 days ago and it has been a very tough couple of days. I use the nicotine gum a few times throughout the day to start weaning myself off of it slowly. I am the same way as you the physical presence of my ecig is what I am missing most. Talk about a ball and chain! Is your throat hurting like mine has been? I have been loosing sleep over it.
Congrats on 5 days. You are doing great. Cut up a few straws and keep them with you. Suck on them like you would your device. See if that helps until you get more time into your quit. Never give up. Stay close.
I agree with you! The withdrawal is the same as cigarettes, but the habit is harder is kick when vaping because you're used to having it in your hand always! You can use it anywhere and at any time! Good luck! Today starts my journey!
That’s awesome Dhewey! I am on Day 7 and hardly any cravings at this point. The first few days are the hardest! Any time you want to smoke come back to this site and read through different posts or make your own posts for support. If it weren’t for this site I don’t think I could have done it on my own! You got this!
