Give and get support around quitting
For so long, I've been unhappy with you in my life, but I've kept coming back to you again and again, the very definition of insanity. You've distracted me from my family and from living my life in freedom from your disgusting chains. You've exhausted me with your relentless demands on my time, money, health...you're always there beckoning, a fake stress reliever and promiser of relaxation, but I always need more and more and I'm never really satisfied with your offerings. In fact, I've never been so anxious as I am with you in my life. My lungs hurt to breathe sometimes. A lot of times. There is nothing I'm getting from this relationship, it is truly pointless and I know in the end it will be the death of me. I've got better hopes for my death than what your end is. It is time to say goodbye, for me to move on. You've stolen precious time from me...years I can't get back. You are a vapor, here one second, gone the next, a useless chemical, ravaging every cell in my body. Right now a song is looping through my mind, 'you're no good, you're no good, you're no good, baby you're no good'. And you aren't. I know you'll try to come back, and I will resist you. I have more power than you and more than you ever thought I did. I don't need you. Get out of my life.
Very well written friend.
Thank you Larry! Wish me luck, tomorrow I'm dumping this thing
You can and will be successful you'll be turning your DAY ONE tomorrow into DAY WON as long as you are willing determined and totally committed to succeed then you will one precious day at a time or hour minute or even a second at a time, deep breaths and know that we're all here to help you in any way we can.....
EXcellent thought process. Keep your thinking in the fore and you should beat this thing!

CONGRATULATIONS and GOOD JOB
Congratulations on your decision AND on your commitment. I love your blog. Do read everything you can about this addiction, including Allen Carr's book. I came to this site every morning and every evening when I quit smoking and I have been quit for over 5 1/2 years now. It is something I am really proud of, I have never regretted quitting but I will always regret starting.
Will be thinking of you tomorrow, have plans for things to do instead of vaping, drink lots and lots of water, take deep breaths, hold for a few seconds and exhale slowly through pursed lips. I had a respiratory therapist tell me to practice that breathing by blowing bubbles. Inhaling through the nose and exhaling slowly enough so you get bubbles. It's a great distraction.
