scared

[mireya223]

I have been reading some pretty frightening things about vaping recently. I have wanted to quit for a while but seeing things like someone dying from a vaping related lung disease is just so horrifying and makes me want to get rid of it immediately. I want to quit for my health and my happiness and my endurance. I don’t want to be tethered to nicotine every day and night. I am currently on day 2 of not hitting my nicotine salts vape and I definitely think the withdrawal has started to hit pretty hard. I’m already a very anxious person, and this has not been helping. My anxiety has been at an all time high the past week or so. I got sick on Wednesday night which is what made me start to hit it less, and I eventually decided I should just take the opportunity to quit now. I’m 21 and have been smoking nicotine for about 3-4 years now and am so ready to be done. I don’t want to keep allowing this addiction to worsen my anxiety and depression. If you have any advice or overall encouragement it would be so greatly appreciated.

I am happy that you have made the decision to quit vaping.  One more day and the nicotine should be out of your system.  Think of the withdrawals as your body cleaning itself.  Deep Breathing always worked for me.  Use cut-up straws to draw on when you need to.  You can do this one day at a time.  No need to be afraid,  Quitting never killed anyone.  Smoking and Vaping does.  Be thankful that you have put your best foot forward and don't look back.  You can do this NOPE Not one puff ever will keep you free no matter what is happening.
