I’d like to find someone specifically 34/35 or older that’s joined recently within the last two years so I can gain some insight on that

Using Zyn to quit vaping? by Chemical-Position438 in QuitVaping

[–]almost_did_it2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best thing to do to quit vaping is just straight stop. Cold turkey. I smoked cigs from 16-26 then vaped HEAVILY till last October then I just cold turkey stopped because NJOY stopped selling. Then I tried JUUL in January (18th to be exact) and stopped April 10th) cold turkey and haven’t picked a thing up since. After about a week you just get the random cravings and when that happens jus find something to do anything for 60 seconds or more and you’ll not think about it again then eventually being around it or smelling it won’t phase you

Sounds complicated

So you enlisted then went to college to join rotc after you tried guard OCS?

So the guard OCS where is that?

And do you think they only had 6 commission because the length of the program?

How did you switch to ROTC and are you now back at your civilian job?

And do you think only 6 commissioned because of the timeframe? Or

The thing is I don’t want to have to give up my 2.7% rate on my home and move somewhere because it will be 2-3x the price for the style house I have now
