So long story short I started smoking when I was in my mid-twenties and did it for about 10 years. It wasn’t until recently I switched over to vaping in a vain attempt to quit smoking. Well, it worked, I quit smoking but became totally addicted to vaping instead.
It’s so difficult to kick compared to drinking. Alcohol would make me have terrible hangovers and I’d binge so there’d be weeks at a time I’d lose to being drunk. Compared to smoking it’s nefarious, with cigs I could only smoke outside and there was only 20 to a pack, so I’d have to space it out and plan my breaks around smoking a cig.
Vaping on the other hand, you can do anytime anywhere (mostly). I’d just sit at the computer all day vaping. I even stopped playing games (my passion) just to sit and vape and disassociate.
Anyway I’m trying, again, to quit. I tried yesterday but I ended up fishing out a burnt vape from the trash and took a bunch of hits that made me gag.
So I came to a realization of sorts, my ass is fishing through nasty garbage and putting that to my mouth to get a nicotine fix. Look at how far my ass has fallen
I’ll update this post when I hit the 6 hour mark. God help me.
If you’re not willing or able to quit cold turkey, might I recommend purchasing a cheap mod that you can refil with your own vape juice and just titrating it down towards zero for a few months?
It worked for me, started at 50mg disposables, moved to a 28mg nic salt mod, dropped to 12 after a month of that. Then I changed to a big girl mod, y’know, a vapebro robocock. I used that with a 6mg fluid, then a 3mg which is the minimum I could find in town. I purchased some 0 nic fluid in the same flavor online and mixed them 50/50, down to 1.5mg. Rinse and repeat 2 weeks later, .75mg, .25, and eventually just straight 0 for a week.
It works, but it requires a bit of discipline, much less than cold turkey though!
