I am struggling to quit. Would love some advice or encouragement.

relatable as fuck dude. I quit at the beginning of the pandemic and then started again bc it seemed like the pandemic was never going to end. I’m on day 3 of this attempt and I am shocked to be doing really well.

Quitting is definitely all mental - I was running through an ungodly amount of nic everyday. Disposable vapes never lasted a full day and my sourin was broken as fuck (but naturally I put 50 salt nic in when it was working). I figured there was no way I’d be able to give it up but I have been wanting to and thinking about it for a while now, so I threw my stuff out and decided I was not going to be a person who vapes anymore.

I sit down when I have cravings and write out how I’m feeling and why I think vaping will help. The thing is I’m usually sad and I know that vaping won’t change anything about what’s making me sad or why. It will make me feel nauseous, sad, and hopeless though. Doing this has helped so much. I’m not out of the woods yet, but the past two days have not been nearly as hard as I was expecting. I have had no physical symptoms other than a little bit of grogginess. So far I’ve told multiple people “no” after being offered their vape. That’s always been my weakness.

Also the Quit Vaping app on IOS is so helpful!!

If you really want this, you got it dude. You might not believe in yourself right now, but you just gotta get the ball rolling. I’d also strongly recommend looking into Allen Carrs book about quitting! I didn’t read at the actual book, but I familiarized myself with the idea of it. Good luck!! Hope this helps a little :)
