Any new people to ex, i hope you find that it really is a place of support as you become nic- free.  Im so grateful for the community here that helped me through those really really realllllly awful first bits. It helps to talk. To share. To find others going through the same things as you. Thank you all!  If it is your first few days keep going! Im still here pushing through and it is true- it is better on the other side of addiction. Where your mind is quiet. Your thoughts are your own. You have time to contemplate. You have time to make plans for the future.  as a introspective thought- neither here nor there- i have found i am much more emotional still, i wonder if its because i am feeling the raw emotions without the dopamine hits to make things “okay”. The crazy part is I’m okay with feeling things more deeply.  It feels real and I am more present in it.   thanks again. Day 151.   ... View more

About a month agree I decided that I officially needed to stop vaping. The first week I did a great job of weaning myself off. I only vaped in the morning and after work (I used to vape all day long). I made a deal with myself to not carry it around with me anymore to reduce the habit of doing it.  At one point I went 24hours without vaping. Since then I have got off track. Every time I go buy a vape I tell myself this is the last one until a couple weeks later when I go buy another. My usage is definitely down, but weaning myself off has not worked as I expected. My cravings are really bad when I wake up in the morning, and if I mess up and vape during the day I feel defeated and just continue to do it for the rest of the day.  A while back I attempted to quit cold turkey and that did not work for me. Sometimes when I drive down the road I just want to throw it out of the window, but I can never bring myself to completely remove all vapes from my life. It's almost like a safety blanket knowing its there in case I get a bad craving.  Any help would be great. I want to get rid of everything, but I'm not sure I'm strong enough to keep it up.  ...

Hi there!  its been a while since I've been on here.  i go days and days without thinking of smoking.  When I do,  i have physical response-  Stuffy nose and sniffing. I used to get it only when i was feening but now it seems after a big social thing or when im stressed. I get stuffy and then it reminds me, oh i used to smoke and that would go away. In general though, i don’t think about smoking hardly ever, just occasionally! It’s surprising. Especially how big of an addiction I had to nicotine since I was 15.  anyway just wanted to share where I am at. It’s not perfect. But I’m moving forward without vape.  ... View more

I have 50% left in my remaining ecig. Haven't bought any more. Not going to.  I will probably need a lot of support when I go vape free.  Haven't been for a long time. ... View more
