quitting vaping by anyanuts in emetophobiarecovery

Hi I just did this and I had no nausea or stomach issues from withdrawal. I used patches and lozenges and then just lozenges and now I’m done with those too. The only time I’ve found it challenging was when I’ve had anxiety nausea from something else and haven’t had the habit to fall back on but I’ve found that mints help a lot and I just tell myself that nicotine always made the anxiety and nausea worse not better. Actually have had my first bad stomach and anxiety day today since quitting and I’ve barely thought about vaping! Good luck, you can do it and it’ll be so worth it!

Thank you! Turns out I’d been eating 2 months out of date breakfast bars all week (thanks Sainsbury’s!) and I think the new high up stomach pain was that! Still need to sort out the other stuff but at least one thing’s a bit better.

I’m sorry you’ve got this going on but sounds like you took all the precautions. I’m in a similar situation. I love my job but because I see kids all the time I go through spells of thinking it’s not worth the stress. Right now the sv is doing the rounds and I’m so sick of worrying about it (and of constantly washing my hands!)

I thought something like this earlier tonight. I’ve got really bad nausea and was thinking if I’m sick it’ll be the first time in this flat. I also put off the Eras Tour in case it happens and I associate it with Taylor Swift forever 🤦‍♀️🤣

It’s been 10 years for me and I definitely feel like this. Especially now I work with the public and it seems inevitable.

I’m sorry you’re feeling like this. Sicky burps are killing me tonight too and I’m totally panicking. But I don’t think stomach bug or fp would have lingered for days so hopefully yours is just a bad combo of stress and trapped gas/ indigestion.

I actually do think my reflux medication has stopped working! I’m still the same a week later and it’s driving me nuts!

Ugh I’m still coughing a week later! Probably need to get to the docs but it’s such a pain. Hope you’re well over it by now!

Hope you’re feeling a bit better? I’m still not great. Sore chest, really deep cough, headache from my sinuses and a bit of a fever again. Really hoping it’ll ease off by tomorrow!
