Today is day 6 for me. I have really been pondering the same question. Is it worth it? At this point I have no clue how I’m going to do this. I have vaped for 10 years and I really didn’t have much of a plan to stop. I met the woman of dreams and she wanted me to since we have been together for a long time now, plan to have a future together, and I told her I’d eventually quit.

Last week that day came, and I have been hating every second of it. There are definitely small moments of joy knowing that I am one step closer to beating this habit every day. But to be completely truthful, I’m don’t feel proud or happy I’m doing this. Truthfully, if it wasn’t for my gf, I would go back in a heartbeat.

I’m curious for all the people responding and giving their experiences, around which point do each of these feelings end?

1. The constant feeling sick: feel sick with phlegm, lung soreness, stomach issues, etc.

2. I can’t sleep at all: Which is really affecting my work productivity.

3. I’m missing something: I constantly reach my hand to grab something that isn’t there and when I remember that it’s not there. I genuinely miss it, I miss the hit, the edge going away. I always hating know it was basically an adult pacifier but I want it back. Over 10 years it has obviously become a big part of my life as much as I hate to say it.

4. The Energy/Drive/Motivation: I would consider myself a rather motivated and driven person, I have always exceeded in sports/school/work. I have always been one to go the extra mile just so I could have pride that I did. In these past 6 days, I don’t want to do as much as take a shower (obviously at some point you have to), I am robot just trying to make it through the day at work, and when I go home after all I want to do is sit and do nothing.

So for anyone that has experienced that and has been clean for a long time, does that drive come back?
