Me...again

So, i joined this over a year ago with all intent to stop smoking for good Well, I did it. Cold turkey. BUT...I cheated...I like many of you quit by vaping. I got word of this juul thing, liked it, justified it, and fell into this easy habit of hitting this stupid stick that I could take with me everywhere. I thought, who cares that it costs so much, i might save my life instead of smoking. Constant voices in my head telling me its ok. Until recently, all the recent health scares everywhere...all my anxiety...all that money I've spent...all these many reasons not to now. So i join again with a plan to quit all this madness for good. I've been hooked on nic for nearly 20 years and struggle with bad anxiety. I'm so sick of it. I really want don't want it controlling me. Logic and reality make no sense in our minds of addiction. Just needed to come back and share where I'm at.

Welcome me again.  We've heard from lots of vaper's recently.   Nicotine is such a terrible drug to be addicted to and vaping seems to have made it even worse.   It's still a nicotine addiction, so everything suggested before still applies.  Begin again and education yourself about nicotine addiction and create your quit plan.  We're still here to support you, so  commit to quitting again.

Vaping is just so easy that it's harder to let it go.  I wrote about my own Juul quit here https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/people/AnnetteMM/blog/2019/09/08/how-to-quit-juul-or-vaping-in-ge...
