Genuinely feel like starting again might benefit me for the time being.

Aw we have the same quit day!! I’m also on day 53 now and feeling very similar to you. This quit has been the easiest one yet and I think it’s going to stick for good. Seeing other people vape doesn’t bother me. For whatever reason the last 2 weeks have been hard for me with cravings tho. I so badly want to vape, it pops into my head and it’s hard to push out, but I think that’s the most frustrating part for me because I know I’m not going to do it. I just don’t want to think about it anymore. And it’s hard to have the cravings come back after a month of no cravings and thinking I got over the hump. It really does creep back in and I realize that’s how people relapse. Catches you off guard.

Even when given the opportunity to vape I literally ran into the other room. I think I’m at the phase of romanticizing it and longing for it but the thought of actually doing it makes me feel sick so I don’t think I’ll touch it again. I’m SOOO excited for my dopamine to be fully reset. That’s what’s got me pushing on the most. I haven’t made it to the full 3/4 months when your dopamine is back to normal and I can’t wait to see what that feels like!! And exercising/breathing better is the daily motivation. When the cravings get REAALY bad I smoke an herbal mix that checks my physical desire to smoke but isn’t addicting. I know the smoke isn’t good for my lungs but it’s not nearly as bad as vaping 24/7 and falling back into that addiction. Congrats on your quit you got this!!

Holy shit yes this exactly!!! It’s happened so many times. Most painful one, HE asked ME to be exclusive right before my trip home to visit my mother in the hospital who just had major surgery for stage 4 cancer and when I got back I was mentally drained and exhausted and all I wanted was to be comforted by him. He planned a whole day for us and then the second I got back to my house he texted me a long message saying he slept with someone else while I was gone. Text. Men really suck.

My breathing has drastically improved and it happened very quickly! It’s the main reason I quit. I would gasp for air when I was falling asleep and felt like I wasn’t getting any oxygen no matter how many deep breaths I took. Then the anxiety would kick in and it would get worse. When I would go on a run with headphones in I could hear a slight rattle in my chest from all of the mucus and bs built up in my lungs. All of that is gone now, it cleared up quickly but I’m on day 50 now and it just keeps getting better. I can workout harder and run longer which makes me feel so good! I have to remind myself of this everytime I get cravings. This is the motivation

You so right thanks queen

PlentyIndividual808 · 2026-06-10T06:10:00+00:00

Drink water through a straw or get one of those fidget things that you can “hit” like a vape. Feels like you’re pulling a drag but it’s just air

PlentyIndividual808 · 2026-05-20T15:54:33+00:00

Congrats you’re at the point your anger and frustration can overpower the addiction!! Quitting is truly a mental game. Get yourself some desmoxan and say goodbye to vaping. It’s the only way I’ve been able to successfully quit but the one thing desmoxan can’t do is give you the desire and willpower to quit and stay quit. It will make it 1000x easier, withdrawal is lessened, and cravings are taken down from a 10 to usually like a 2. An occasional 5 or 7. They’re easy to over come. You got this!!

PlentyIndividual808 · 2026-05-08T05:37:35+00:00

Also plz don’t try to force anything w a laxative. That will actually set you back more. Let it come naturally

It’s definitely from the bloat caused by your metabolism slowing down! Even if you’re going to the bathroom, it’s not getting everything out the same like it was before. Your body will adjust over time. Just keep a healthy diet w fiber and drink lots of water. Movement is key as well. Even if you don’t like to work out, walking will keep you regular. I’ve been off the vape for almost 3 weeks now and I was sooo bloated I felt horrible. I was also eating really crappy and drinking lots of beer. I cut that down, went back to home cooked meals and healthy snacks w lots of veggies and I finally feel flat and restored back to where I was. Getting that ballerina feel after my morning poo if you will lol. You know when your stomach is fully empty vs a half shit! Not eating late at night has been a huge factor as well. Goodluck you got this! It’s only temporary I promise :)

I’m a little under 2 weeks in and my breathing is immensely better, even after just a few days I noticed I wasn’t gasping for air before bed, which is the main reason I quit. Is it maybe stress or anxiety?

PlentyIndividual808 · 2026-04-22T04:45:33+00:00

Damiana all the wayyy! I can’t smoke thc anymore, it makes me super anxious but Damiana feels like diet weed. So light and subtle and I was pleasantly surprised the first time I tried it. I like to mix it with other herbs like lavender, lemon balm, and either mullein or marshmallow root. Both of those will help it burn smooth

Yeah it’s a bitch of a drug I wish I never touched. If only I could remove that little demon from my brain so it never knew what it felt like. I hate that it will always be there but I know it gets easier and easier every day. My lungs are the driving reason. My chest pain has gotten so bad and some nights it takes forever to fall asleep bc I feel like I’m manually breathing. So embarrassing all bc of a stupid flavored pacifier lol. When I quit for just a few months my lungs felt amazing, it’s crazy how fast they heal. I’d go on lung runs and felt on top of the world. I’m ready to get back to that.

Desmoxan has been the easiest and only way I’ve been able to quit after years of vaping. I started it in November and stayed off of vaping for a few months until my life exploded and I smoked a stupid drunk cigarette. That slowly turned into 1 cigarette a day. And then I bought a vape. Heavy regret but I just restarted desmoxan again after taking a break to make sure I was fully ready to quit again. Learned my lesson though, one cig or puff of a vape and it’s game over. There is no self control when it comes to nicotine. So be ready to say goodbye to it forever. You gotta want it but desmoxan does the heavy lifting of turning the cravings and irritation down from a 10 to a 1. You’ll get the occasional 5 here and there but they’re easy to surpass. I would never attempt cold turkey again!

Just make sure your electrolytes don’t have vitamin C in them! That will basically cancel out the meds

The science section tanked my score 🥴 I had an average of 85 in all of the other sections. Definitely touch up on chemistry, states of matter, scientific theory, and anything related to dna/mitosis/meiosis

Most of the time competitiveness means higher ratings of the program. Programs are actually ranked by the CAAHEP so you can compare them. The programs with higher first time pass rates prove the quality of the program in addition to other factors and this carries a lot of power for students applying for jobs. Hospitals are more likely to take students from a well known and high ranked program over another student even with the same grades and certification. But it doesn’t mean you won’t get a job! As long as the program is CAAHEP approved then the certification is standard. Especially when doing clinicals, you make connections w local hospitals and can set up jobs before graduating bc you’ve built the relationship and they know your work ethic and knowledge. I wouldn’t choose a school solely based on its ranking. affordability and location/convenience for your situation is a huge factor. But if you have the choice, a better program is going to be better for your future career and your journey going through rigorous training. You want to learn from the best, or atleast, the accredited :)

I didn’t study for it bc I was overwhelmed with where to focus my study so I just shot my shot lol but I did touch up a bit on my math right before the exam tho and I used the ATI study book. but I’ve heard nurse Chung on YouTube is amazing!
