Doeidgrl's Status Update on 05/20/2020

I started smoking at the age of 12 now I'm 56.  I quit smoking by taking up vaping but now am trying to quit the vape.  I'm so glad I found this website 🙂

HI and Welcome to Ex’s...https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/people/doeidgrl Glad you found us...please read at http://www.becomeanex.org/my-quit-plan/ and when it says smoking, replace with vaping.  It is great you quit smoking, but in some ways you traded one addiction for another...you need to find healthier ways to replace your vaping...(take a walk , exercise, meditate, take up knitting, etc.,).

Welcome to the Ex.   It's still a nicotine addiction, so the information and support on this site can work for you.  I may be harder to quit vaping since you can do it anywhere.  Smokers have to delay their next cigarette until we find a location to smoke.
​ Educate yourself about nicotine and addiction and create a quit plan.   These two steps made the difference for me.   I smoked for 50 years and recently celebrated two years smoke free.  I skipped these two steps in my previous attempts and I was set to fail.   I picked a quit date and an aid, but was totally unprepared.   
​You can do this one day at a time.   We're here to support you, so stay close and reach out.
