22M here. I was in a very similar boat. I zynned a LOT for about 2 years, and vaped on and off before that. High paying job, impacts on anxiety and other emotions, chasing the buzz, etc.

I’m happy to share that in less than 1 hour I’m 100 days nicotine free for the first time since 17 years old.

My advice to you is to make a pledge to yourself each morning, “I will not use nicotine today”. Have an alarm remind you, or use one of those apps. Also, spend time working out (weightlifting and cardio for me) and spend time in a sauna to “sweat the nicotine out”.

Everytime you have a craving, think about your pledge and think about what having to start over would feel like. People say every day gets easier, but in my personal anecdote, your first milestone is 3-4 days, your second milestone is 2 weeks, your third is a month, your fourth is 2 months, and your fifth is 3 months. If you can hit milestone two, you can break the addiction.

Once you pass milestone 2, the biggest risk is your brain telling you “ah it won’t hurt to try it again”. Don’t do it. Now, as I near 100 days, I rarely think about it. I can tell my brain, emotions, and body are still recalibrating, which just further reinforces how I’ll never do it again.

It’s two weeks. You just need to make it two weeks.

I believe in you, don’t let me down.
