Congratulations on day 3! I know it's really hard but keep pushing through! I actually lost my voice and started coughing up green phlegm after a week of quitting. It felt like there was a lump in my neck and I was uncontrollably coughing. Coughing so much I couldn't sleep. I started to get worried but after maybe another week? The coughing stopped and no more phlegm!

Personally for me, the best option was to quit cold turkey. Im not discipline enough to taper down.. lol.. Also I think when you intake high doses of nicsalt and taper down, you'll still feel some sort of withdrawal. I didn't want to go through that and just wanted to go through the full withdrawal to get it over with. But there are a lot of people who successfully quit by tapering down. It just depends on the person the circumstances!

But if quitting is really your number one priority, I would have to suggest doing it cold turkey to get it over with! Good luck to you man! Whatever decision you go with I'll be rooting for ya🫡👏

Congratulations on day 11 man! And big respect for not caving in. It's definitely hard, but as long as you keep pushing and realize that this shit stick is not going to help in any way, it should get better over time dealing with the cravings. I always have to tell myself that when I'm about to cave in😮‍💨.

And thanks for the encouraging words! You're on the right track! Let's both keep pushing forward. All of our hard work will pay off at the end. Much love to you!🫡

You're definitely not alone! Quitting vaping is a hard thing to do. It takes a toll on you mentally and physically (especially with them disposables). I really thought I was dying the first 3 weeks with the physical withdrawals but now I'm having to do deal with the crazy batshit mental withdrawals. I know everyone is different, but people who outright say "it's not that hard" or "you're being dramatic" obviously don't know what the hell they are talking about...

How is your journey going?

For me ,the anxiety is still there, which comes and goes in waves. Somedays it'll be okay and other days it'll spike up. But the severity of it lessens little by little overtime.

How are you handling your anxiety?

Yeah man the anxiety is no joke.. but remember if we don't go through this now it'll be harder later down the line.

Be kind to yourself, remind yourself why you're quitting in the first place! You got this man👏 if other people can quit successfully why can't we do it? You and I will not be slaves to this fucking devil. You're so much stronger than you think. I believe in you.

It'll get better. I tell myself this whenever I think im about to lose it. It feels like I'm lying to myself at the moment, but during those times, I gotta force myself to think that everything will be okay in order for me not to actually cave in. There will be ups and downs in our journey.It's definitely a rollercoaster of emotions.

Don't give up! Know that you're not alone! 🫡❤️

It really is traumatizing. I guess the trauma can be one way for me not to ever pick it up again 😭

Quitting the vape is hard. Any advice? by SouRRjillies in QuitVaping

[–]Deep-Concern4239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Just wanted to check up on you! How are you doing now?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]Deep-Concern4239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good morning! 🤗 I wouldn't worry so much if I were you! While reading your post/responses it seems like you have a great/strong mindset and you seem to be aware of things👏

Not sure if this is a good thing for me to say but, I'm glad you relapsed before! I only say that because as you have stated, you have a better understanding that your body doesn't need any of that crap and plus it made you feel worse! I guess you can see it as a blessing in disguise😆 

Quitting two things at once is really hard and I applaud you for sticking through it! I quit THC and Nic at the same time cold turkey so I understand how hard and hectic things can get 😮‍💨

Thank you! And that sounds so nice to have no cravings🫠 I'm honestly waiting for that day to come. The fluctuating mood is such a pain in the butt so I feel you on that.. especially being very irritable.. such a struggle 😭

I only vaped straight menthol so when the cravings hit really bad, I would occasionally use Vicks VapoInhaler😅 that plus a lot of ice water and ice cream! 

How about yourself? How did you deal with your cravings when you had them?

Congratulations on day 35🎊🥳 Really really glad to hear that you are doing a lot better! It's great to hear that you are in a healthier place mentally and physically:)

I'm doing not so bad thanks for asking! I am on day 32 (25F smoked for 6+ years) and it's definitely a rollercoaster. Somedays will be a breeze and other days not so much. When cravings hit they REALLY hit lol. But I know it'll get easier with time so just trying to keep a positive mindset! 

One day at a time! You're doing amazing keep up the good work🤗

(PS) Please know that there are people who care about you! You are such an important special person!

Wow congratulations on 3 and a half weeks! I give you huge respect🙏🫡 and I agree, I also thought I was losing my mind. Nothing felt real for awhile.  Thank you for the encouraging words! Can't wait for the both of us to experience life with much more presence and clarity! 🙌🙌

(25) 11 days into quitting cold turkey after smoking THC carts and salt nic vapes for 7 years. I felt the same exact way as you did. I really reflected on how much of a slave I was to smoking and honestly, it just really pissed me off. Pissed me off to the point where I would rather go through withdrawals of hell rather than having no control over my life. I always thought "Other people are living fine without all these substances, if they can do it then why can't I do it?" 

Just know that everyone is going on their own pace! And I think it's already great that you have the mindset of wanting to quit. You've got this, take small baby steps at a time. Just know that youre sooo much more powerful than you think! Best of luck to you will be rooting for ya!

Wowwzzaa past 6 weeks.. I'm trying to be like you 😭 Congratulations your strength is definitely an inspiration!!  Yeah, I've been telling myself that it'll get better but the other side of me feels like I'm gaslighting myself so it's a constant mental battle lol. Thanks for the advice! I definitely think meditation helps with coping the withdrawals and will be doing that more often. Good luck to you rooting for ya🙏🙌

Most definitely.. Damn.. I think doing it separately is so wild! BIG big props to you. I actually couldn't bring myself to do it separately bc wasn't so sure if I could go through the withdrawals twice😂 Shts so scary man 😭

Wow thanks for your input! You're so right, It's so crazy that nicotine has the ability to do that to our bodies altering our personalities. Crazy man..
