Happy quit day to me

Today I threw my juul away after being addicted for over 6 months. I’m 27 and for the past 10 years I’ve been in an on and off relationship with nicotine, starting with cigarettes when I was 17 then moving to a mixture of e-cigs and cigarettes when I was about 22. When I discovered the juul this year I became addicted FAST and started using it more and more, sometimes even around my kids (age 2 and 1). Doing that, spending all that money on pods and just feeling generally crappy motivated me to finally get rid of it once and for all. I’m trying cold turkey because I know I don’t have the self control to wean myself and the juul is too easy to hit discreetly. The goal is no more nicotine or tobacco products ever again, not even socially. I’ve got little eyes watching me now who need me around and at my healthiest. Thanks for reading.

Congratulations on your very wise decision to quit using JUUL.  Know that just like cigarettes, it is an addiction and as such, you will go through the same withdrawals as people quitting smoking.  Education about this addiction is very important as is support from others who know what you are going through.  The final thing has to come directly from you and it is to not vape/smoke No Matter What!  We all want to help so please stay close to the site and know that we are here.  You are doing the best thing you possibly can for yourself while you are still so young.

Welcome to EX,
