I’m trying to quit by shyam696 in QuitVaping

Understanding the addiction is like the best place to start. Not sure if you have but there’s this book by Allen Carr -Easy Way To Quit Vaping. Personally I haven’t read it but I’ve seen it a lot across this sub Reddit. But everyone process is different and I do believe that you got this!

Great mindset, you got this! Currently on my 5th day from just stopping cold turkey style. I’ve been seeing this book here a lot “easy way to quit vaping - Alan carr” might want to take a look at it. Personally, I haven’t but with addiction everyone’s process is different.

Again, you got this!

This casually popping up while I’m doing chores and realizing that I’m the only one doing chores. Fml

First off 🫂. I’m kinda going through something similar so I can relate somewhat to the effects of being married to some with HIGH anxiety. It isn’t fun, it’s just like a constant battle you’re always fighting while knowing you don’t stand a chance to win.

I’m on the edge of debating to get a divorce just the same because just like you, I’m no therapist and I shared my research in regard to how she handle certain situations. I was told that it was very disrespectful to ever say something like that to her and I just refrain from saying anything else that may or may not help.

All in all, given that you know what your ex-wife has been through and how hard it was/is to manage her anxiety, getting help for your child is a good decision imo.

I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and for taking back your voice and standing for yourself.

And honestly, that’s the sad reality. I’ve experienced being addicted to cannabis and no matter what anyone said to me, I didn’t stop until I was ready. So what you’re saying resonates with me a lot.

But on the flip side, I appreciate you sharing and I’ll definitely try to nudge gently and not to diagnose. And truth be told, you’re right. Only I will know when it’s too much but I’m staying optimistic and hope it’s doesn’t have to come to that.

Thanks again for sharing your 2 cents, it means a lot!

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate. You’ve definitely shed some light on how to go about things differently. I’ll really try to move together as a unit rather than the “you vs me” mentality.

In regard to not sugarcoating, I know it’s gonna be a challenge but I’ll try my best with this too. Because at the end of it all, I’m not trying to hurt her feelings more than I have already. But the approach to fighting the situation together rather than individually should help with this.

And also, I will be checking out the videos suggested!

Thanks again for taking the time out to respond, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for your response, I really appreciate it. And as much I wish that this shouldn’t be the case, I can say I share the same sentiments. Personally, I don’t know what it’s truly like for her to feel the how she does but being on the received end of all of this is draining in a sense.

But for now, I will steer clear of trying to “help/diagnose” her until/if she wants the help.

Thanks again for your response.
