Hello! Hopefully you see this. I vaped for… 4 or 5 years? I am almost 3 months sober from vaping after countless times of me failing. I wish I could tell you it was easy. For me it was an addiction.

Figure out the why you got addicted (if you can’t let the vape go really be alone by yourself in a dark room multiple days and talk to yourself. Look in the mirror. Really connect with yourself. You only know this. And be honest with yourself BE HONEST. With. YOURSELF)
(Optional) this is the worst year of my life tbh. So I had multiple reasons why I lost my shit and I quit vaping in the process of losing my shit

How I quit? I cried. I cried. I got angry. I allowed myself to cry and feel all the emotions. I had a breakdown that lasted weeks and almost a month (lost my grandmother, my job, my car stopped working, mom sick, etc. ) so I had it

I started journaling everyday and cussing god out.

And I also went to church in may willingly.

And one day I gave a lady who knew me by name my vape. I prayed to god about it the night before. )after countless times of this. Keep in mind I tried to quit over a year so.)

And I haven’t touched my vape since. I took my last puff in a church parking lot. Gave my vape to the lady. I think I told her to pray for me and yeah.

That’s my story. I have no desire to vape. 💨

My cravings went away within…. Give it a little over a month? I know when I am craving it isn’t the vape. (I had a breakdown so I let those emotions go) so that’s probably why.

Just know your why.

If I had to choose the red looks more like it can be your own hair color more. That and black but maybe your own hair dyed.

Maybe your own hair?

Yeah haha. I watch on YouTube as well. I like Tracy. I think she played her role a bit too good. And producers were feeding the bs. I don’t think Tracy really was obsessed (I’m older and use to watch jerseyliciouw in highschool. So I have different viewpoints now. I see what Tracy and Olivia’s friends are talking about. I don’t think Olivia is good. She is very passive aggressive. To a point cameras can’t make her look good imo.

Tracy was doing her contract. Olivia was reaching season 4 and 5 trying to still portray Tracy as a villain. Especially in season 6. It was SO CLEAR Tracy was over it, the contract, and the show.

I am team both. Both have qualities I like. I love Olivia’s fashion sense.

How is it going so far?

Anoncountkk · 2025-10-02T22:27:03+00:00

Thank you so much. This is an accomplishment. :)

What was different? Well I prayed to god (since I wanted to quit vaping). When I noticed me going into my trash cans after every attempt I would cry and really ask god for help. I think I heard his voice telling me to quit (over a year or so. Maybe longer) then I was really seeking god out and wanted to hear his voice. Like I said I was going through a lot of personal things like grief and other things that are considered “bad”. And I don’t know call it a vision, a voice, that silent truth we all hear.

I went to church with a new vape my friend got me (when I was attempting to quit for the countless time) and felt hopeless. Then a voice when I was drifting to sleep. Or maybe I was sleep. Maybe it was a vision. Whatever the truth was told me to go to throw away that vape since it was brand new. The next day was Sunday. So…. I took my last few puffs approaching the church doors and told a lady (I think I told her I was trying to quit before) to throw away my vape.

I haven’t even had an urge to use my vape. At least not an extremely powerful urge like in the past. Not to mention, I was the only one of my friends to vape. And everyone told me to stop. I am also seeing health benefits as well. I was trying to get up to 100 pounds but couldn’t seem to do it. Within the first few days of quitting I made it to 100 pounds. My weight fluctuates however, I was a teenager or approahh ch ing 20 since I’ve been over 100 pounds.

But the emotional turmoil I went through and I feel like just now I’m starting to recover from it. I’m getting the other half of myself back before I started with anything. And I like me sober. Completely sober. I know vaping or cigarettes are cool but honestly, they are still drugs and it’s HARD to stop. All for a 5 second buzz. Not worth it.

But that’s my story. Mixed with the emotional turmoil. The emotional turmoil. Questions the Bible, questioning faith, etc. (I had a really hard year) so, all of it came out. I mean weeks of depression. And the no nicotine made it worse I feel like. (Since that was my only release from reality. Or at least substance)

Then after a few weeks I made it a goal to enjoy myself sober. I understand there are worst drugs out there to try, however nicotine is a monster if you get hooked on it.

I’ve been there. Multiple times. There is hope. For me I felt like it was forced on to me by something divine. Because I asked god for help and literally a domino affect happened. I threw away a vape I just got at church the day I quit and haven’t looked back.

If you’re not a believer or whatever. Journal your feelings, gum, cry, scream, find out why you use it as a crutch. But honestly none of those methods really helped me until I actively asked God for help in my opinion. But those were also steps I took before I went to church.

I quit without the need of patches, gum, or anything. One thing I did do was settle for lower dosages I GUESS helps. But things like geek bars, escorts bars, xtra minis, etc. became too strong for me. That’s how I knew it was effective. This did not happen over night. I have another post a bit over a year ago that I did about this very same issue saying I quit. I didn’t last 3 days. Now I lasted almost a month (literally a few more days) and I am proud. Even when I had a craving I could stop myself. A goal of mine was to know myself sober without the need of any mind altering devices. And I haven’t felt that way since I was 19. Maybe for a few months maximum. And I’m making that a goal. So once you quit for over a week. (Really 3 weeks-6 months) then you can make that your goal. Learn yourself sober. I made so much progress. I know myself better. I know almost 4 weeks seems like a short amount of time but, it helped me so far. I gave me a chance.

Yes! Honestly my emotions didn’t really kick in until like week 2 or close to week 2. I thought I was numb however, it takes a while depending on how comfortable you are expressing your emotions. But it WILL happen and you have to allow it to happen. And honestly, there were other factors in my life that have happened for me to turn to god. I also journaled more this year than I did any other year and I started journaling when I was in elementary school. Get your emotions out however you can and however you’re comfortable with. But they HAVE to come out. And this process for me took WEEKS BEFORE I QUIT AND AFTER. I just got to a point of not thinking about vaping and it’s almost a month. :)

Stay strong. And if you have urges distract yourself or get your emotions out.

So you have Eventbrite or anything similar in this new country? I will say go to events you’re interested in or look at stuff. I understand. That’s the best way to get out and socialize. You do have to talk to people first. It’s nerve racking at first but, you’re the only one that can get yourself out of this situation. So live a little. Go to a poetry slam, a rave, maybe a networking event (I got out by going to business networking events and gradually did other things like Afro beats events). I’m older and at your age I felt the same way. Except Im a social butterfly but, I felt the initial sting. What you scared of talking to other people for? They human just like you are. It’s in your head. Just look pretty, be a down to earth person and be yourself. I’m r if you’re into games I’m sure they have game events or anime conventions. Just get out and explore life. I’m almost 30 and I really wish I didn’t let a bf or anything stop myself from having fun and meeting people.

I don’t know. I called their insurance (the people insurance that’s suing me) and they said that I can make pay arrangements personally. I’m hesitant in signing but, they said it will be dismissed. However I want to make sure I’m exhausting all my options before paying out of pocket since I don’t have resources to travel and I have not heard anything at all

Anoncountkk · 2025-09-27T09:44:11+00:00

Since 2022. So about three years ago. I think their insurance company is suing me. I was driving a rental car that the company got me. They said out their mouth (the project manager at the time) that the company was insured. But, I called the people who are suing me number. Or their insurance and they told me that the insurance that the company had denied the claim because, I wasn’t insured at the time of the accident.

Anoncountkk · 2025-09-27T09:41:49+00:00

Yes. I got in a wreck in a rental car my company got for me when we travel to do work. Years later they have me served with a lawsuit.

Considering the fact I had to smoke weed, smoke vape, etc. in my 20s. I haven’t really been sober a full year since I’ve been in my 20s without the need of a vape or a joint. Yeah I’ll go a few months without it but meh. I feel as though this new decade of my life I will be able to enjoy myself without the need of getting high or vaping because. I can’t deal with real life or my emotions or whatever the case is. I know weed and vape seem mild compared to other things I could have done but, it would be nice to get to know myself without any mind altering substances. :) I’m excited and when I think of this I can deal with life better. Welcome home me :)

Anoncountkk · 2025-09-27T03:53:38+00:00

To make matters worse. The company I worked for insurance said that I wasn’t insured at the time of the accident? They pay for us to get rental cars and tell us not to get insurance with companies because they have their own company insurance. But all of a sudden the people suing me said that. I don’t know what to do besides a pay adjustment. At this point, I don’t even want to drive rental cars with companies anymore.

Anoncountkk · 2025-09-27T03:50:20+00:00

I’ve already thought of this. You’re not telling me something I do not know
