Today was sooo better than yesterday. 20 days! Wahooo!!!
A few factors helped
1. LOTS of sleep
2. eating smaller meals/snacks more often. Idk what the deal is right around 3 pm. But today I had an apple at that time and it did wonders for the sicky feeling I’ve been getting at night. I still have some vertigo but it’s manageable today.
3. I read a lot of information about withdrawal symptoms. I found an article in the best of ex which lead me to start reading the journey home- nicotine free living. (I think that’s what it’s called) it’s a free book and you can use text to speech apps to make it into an audio book to listen while you work. A lot of it scared me. But also made me feel empowered to keep going. Knowledge is power is a key thing I read about.
While I was vaping, I shied away from ANY information about it. I knew it was bad for me. Every time a commercial came on from truth org I would mute it! Now that I’m quitting it’s like the flood gates are open and I want to know it ALL. every last detail. So that I can combat my stupid addiction brain from its silly ways to tell me it’s okay to vape. It’s not okay. It has robbed me of peace of mind for 10 years. One thing I read that was crazy true.
Can you remember what it was like before you started vaping? what did it feel like going days, years without this vicious need to vape. I couldn’t remember. The author said that no one who starts really can. I’m butchering this- if you’ve made it this far into my brain dump, that free book is worth a read. I’m only on the second chapter and feel enlightened.
thanks all!
