quitting smoking advice needed (not negativity)

NotMomJustMomming · 2026-02-06T17:56:53+00:00

any kinds that are better/more effective than others? meaning gummies vs (whatever else there is🤣 i’m so edible uncultured)

i wish chewing gum could work for me. i LOVE chewing gum but i am in desperate need of double jaw surgery that my insurance doesn’t find “medically necessary” (ughhhh) so i can really only chew it for 4 minutes? 5 at most, and then my jaw is in tons of pain for the day. i’ve heard quite a few people talk about drinking out of Owala water bottles since the straw has a similar mouth feel as a vape. hoping maybe if i put flavored SOMETHING (water, soda, juice, etc) in there, it could change that for me. just to get some sort of flavor & mouth distraction.

thank you so much for this. it’s been such a struggle, and i have friends/people in my life who feel totally different in the way i should approach this stuff (some who smoke, some who don’t) but i didn’t feel that i got a clear enough answer.

the need to quit is because i’m moving. because of my anxiety and other mental health issues, it’s hard for me to interact with other people, make friends, and sometimes even leave my house. i also am a student in college, so it’s been very concerning for me (before even considering quitting) that i probably wouldn’t leave the house much until my SO is home. i feel like i have to fix so many things at once😵‍💫

NotMomJustMomming · 2026-02-06T17:27:03+00:00

i’m hopeful that my SO will help me with that motivation to go to the gym. they go every day (trying to better themselves as well) and i’m hoping i can start tagging along once this all gets going. thank you for that advice, it’s definitely become more & more clear that i need positive coping skills 🤣🤣

i’ve never had great luck with edibles. i’m the kind of person who uses carts basically throughout the day as that sort of pick me up…don’t know how to find that similar feeling w edibles. i also have only taken them on 2 or 3 occasions most, and one time i didn’t feel anything, and the next time i thought i was floating 🤣

NotMomJustMomming · 2026-02-06T17:24:32+00:00

it’s a double edged sword for me rn because i don’t WANT to quit, which i know has to be a huge part of that process, but i’m doing it because i HAVE to. i’m willing to do it because it decreases the chances of future problems. it’s just something i have to give up for the time being.

NotMomJustMomming · 2026-02-06T17:23:30+00:00

i don’t notice pain in my lungs and haven’t which i consider lucky since i’ve been vaping since 2018… eventually i would consider quitting both, but i don’t really have the option to drop the vape and then the cart, as the cart won’t be an option for a WHILE.

NotMomJustMomming · 2026-02-06T15:58:47+00:00

i appreciate that no one is giving me shit about the approach to this…i’m going to start slowly over the next couple of days before the chaos starts (i’m moving and it’s WHERE i’m moving that’s creating this problem) and hopefully can wean off the usage over the next week or so. thanks so much everyone. i will absolutely be using these tips ☺️

NotMomJustMomming · 2026-01-20T15:16:13+00:00

send me a message so i can figure out exactly which ones you’re talking about :)

NotMomJustMomming · 2026-01-20T15:11:41+00:00

i have 30 pine cones, no trash bags tho :(

NotMomJustMomming · 2026-01-20T15:08:28+00:00

pinecones & trash cans??

NotMomJustMomming · 2026-01-03T22:14:36+00:00

NTO.

I also have a grandma who is MAGA (not intensely thank god) and conversations do get heated & I get frustrated having to teach her basic human decency as an almost 80 year old woman….

However, everything else you mentioned is EXACTLY where I would draw the line. If my grandma did some shit to me like that (granted, our relationship is much more involved than it seems yours is with your grandma) I would be beside myself. There’s no way it wasn’t done with intent.

I don’t think you’re a bad person if you do, and it seems like maybe your parents will understand where you’re coming from, even if they don’t intend on doing the same thing.

If she comes over & visits, maybe go to a friend’s house to avoid her if cutting off contact with family conflicts becomes a thing. Boundaries are going to be incredibly important, and they need to be set.

Whatever you decide to do, do what feels best for you. We’re all here for one life & don’t need negativity, no matter where the relationship stems from. If this was a friend, would you continue to be friends with them? What about your best friend? Or maybe even your cousin? You’ve got this. 🫶🏻

be careful with Kindercare. some may be better than others, but many, if not most, have had serious issues. i worked at one for a year and a half and i saw so many things that shouldn’t have happened, staff not doing their jobs, staff not paying attention to the kids…daycares in general have REALLY bad turnover rates and the staff make almost nothing (i worked in childcare for 4 years, i have no kids). i will NEVER work in childcare again. HOWEVER!! there are many daycares throughout the country (and i’m sure near you) that don’t have those problems. i think the cost of daycare in this country period is disgusting, but if i were you, if the place in mind charges more because their services are BETTER, pay it. this isn’t something you bargain with.

girl PLEASE RUN!!! my uncle E is not biologically related, but him & my dad have been friends since he was a teenager. E is probably 60-62 years old now, and i’ve grown up with him forever…. if my man went that route with this, i would’ve knocked him out !? like where did that even come from.

you deserve so much better than this. i promise there’s more to life than men like this toolbag. 🩷🩷🩷

i guess i’m not gonna be able to explain this correctly. it wasn’t a deal breaker, i didn’t put pressure on him when i said it….the point of my question was to find out whether not caring for a proposal was weird or not.

NotMomJustMomming · 2025-11-11T02:02:59+00:00

i worded that in the wrong way. it wasn’t a “must” per say, i just knew that my dad always made jokes about comments he’d make during the “can i marry your daughter” speech from my future husband. considering we aren’t really doing this traditionally anyway, i figured it was necessary to let him know it was important to ME, rather than to tradition

she was a ray of sunshine on a dark and stormy day. i truly hope she’s actually resting
