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.

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.

It’s hard when I have used vaping as an excuse to go outside. You know, when you just want to get away for a moment from the chaos? I’ve never been a social smoker, just one that does it in solitude. Interesting how this will play out. My plan right now… take every day, every trigger, one thought at a time. catch myself when I have thoughts, and ride it out… #almostthere!

Hello everyone. So good to be here. I've been using ecigs for over 7 years and it is time to QUIT!! Too much money being spent, too much health being lost. Tomorrow is my quit date and I plan to use patches. My question is, do any of you ever text each other to be held accountable? I learned that in AA and it worked so well. Let me know and thanks! Denise
