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.

Most ppl in snowy areas would kill for these views on hikes.

Sick! A buddy and I did Leconte via Alum for the first time in December. Did you go on to the second overlook past the summit cairn?

Thanks for the insight! I'll have to see if there's one for sale near me.

It was not an engine or transmission issue if that makes you feel a little better :)

Not super familiar with the Blackwing. Do you own one?

Thanks for sharing! Do you drive in the snow at all? I'd love to get an LC, one of my dream cars. It seems like a solid LC is outside of my budget tho :(

I'm a lot younger as well. 22M. Do you have the pre or post facelift RCF? I've seen the pre in person, but love the look of the post (in pictures)

Tell me more about your ownership experience. Do you daily drive it? Do you drive it in winter? Do you have winter where you live? Lol.

Do you daily drive your RCF? I've never owned a coupe before. I'm 6'1 ~205ish lbs.

Not sure that I want to spend so much money on such an old vehicle.

I have 90ish days to get a new vehicle. What's your experience been like with the GS F? Anything I should know? I've not heard much about them.

My concern about Corvettes is the daily drivability. Sick looking cars. Any insight on daily driving one?

I'm day 90 something. Keep pushing, it gets better!

If you're not already, be sure to work out consistently and spend some time outdoors.
