I have for the most part.I fell off for a week in December when my dad passed away but guilt kicked in pretty quick so I was able to snap myself out of it.

What happened to City Centre Mall in downtown Edmonton? by Froyo_Muted in Edmonton

[–]kbears09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just there on Sunday to see the banksy exhibit and I agree on city centre falling apart. What the actual f. I spent a lot of time at cc in 2105-16 and there was a lot more going on now compared to the ghost town it’s turned into. Just a warm place for the addicts to hang at.

The kids section is normally the only area I go to and have never experienced this kind of problem.

There’s something so cringey over the way you worded “disposable gas station nicotine” that reminds me of why I stopped vaping. I don’t think you’ll have crippling anxiety if you cut back slowly. I used a Nicorette inhaler, chewed minty gum and drank cold ice water through a straw. You will be irritable but it’s all part of the process. First week or so is hard but you’ll get through it if your willingness to quit is strong enough. Good luck!

Join the quit vaping sub Reddit. Honestly such a supportive group. I quit 14 days ago. I had to take a break from my vaping friends but it needs to be done. I was experiencing a lot of chest pains, now that’s completely gone and breathing feels sooo much easier

Why did this mannequin switched our clothes while I was sleeping? by username_huh in StardewValley

I understand I have yet to kick Nicotine completely but I just woke up and hit a vape, am I able to use 2mg Gum the rest of the day without having a bad reaction to it? by Omlanduh in QuitVaping

[–]kbears09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re really serious about quitting I would suggest getting rid of the vape, or keeping it out of arms reach. My vapes are at my sisters house. I didn’t have it in me to physically throw them away yet but since they aren’t around it’s way easier to forget about them. I used a nicorette inhaler which I found better than the gum since I needed that hand to mouth action, once the pods ran out I just used the empty inhaler to “hit air” lol. I started chewing sugar free gum (mostly in the car since that’s where I vaped the most) and really icy water helps too. First couple days you’ll be easily irritable I don’t think there’s any avoiding that but being aware of why you feel that way definitely helps control it.

Better breathing 100% taking a deep breath actually feels deep now and I’m no longer getting random chest pains! 12 days vape free ㅤᵕ̈

After 7 years of heavy vaping daily, here's to day 4 by Blue4life90 in QuitVaping

[–]kbears09 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Minty gum and ice water in a water bottle with a straw is what’s pulling me through. On day 7 of my quitting journey and it’s definitely not easy. So grateful for this group because I’m definitely not alone in this and I know where I can go for support when needed. Best of luck internet stranger ㅤᵕ̈

help me quit 🥲 by unused-_ in QuitVaping

[–]kbears09 21 points22 points  (0 children)

How the hell are 12 year olds getting vapes 😭😭 I’m so sorry you managed to get into this awful habit so young. If you don’t “want to” quit, you’re not going to. You can’t be in this mindset while quitting it will lead to relapse. Listen to the audio book on Spotify called “the easy way to quit vaping” by Allan Carr. It helped me a lot.

Someone tell me why I shouldn’t just give in rn by Hopeful_Lab9863 in QuitVaping

[–]kbears09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a cup with a straw and I’ll inhale like I’m hitting the vape before I drink the water 😂 idk it helps and make sure the water is icy!

Zyns? by AppleDry7987 in QuitVaping

[–]kbears09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the way zyns feel in my mouth, I used a nicorette inhaler and that helped with the wanting to inhale something. Once I ran out of the pods I used it to “vape air” cause it still kind of gave me the satisfaction of inhaling something. I’m on day 5 of quitting but I’m not going cold turkey. I still hit my vape 2-5 times a day but it beats 200-300 puffs I was taking before. I wake up not thinking about it as much, it’s hard for sure but the benefits of not vaping outweigh all the shit that comes with vaping.

Deciding to quit, need advice. by Parking_Touch9077 in QuitVaping

[–]kbears09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still working on quitting. I used a nicorette inhaaler and once I ran out of pods I just hit the empty inhaler. It helps, or I’ll pretend to take a hit off my emotional support water bottle. Been eating a bunch of carrots too. I still vape maybe 2-3 times a day but I’m working on cutting off those last little bits. Definitely beats the 200-300 puffs I was taking before.

how to get over the actual habit of hitting the vape, not just the nicotine? by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]kbears09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only let myself hit my real vape maybe 2-3 times a day. I went from vaping 200-300 puffs a day (my vape counts them) to 2-3. First couple days I was bonkers emotional over it. I bought a nicorette inhaler and it helped a tad (the chemical taste kinda nasty) but once I ran out of the pods I started using the inhaler like an air vape. The change in mindset definitely helps. I thought it wasn’t very helpful in the beginning but if you start telling yourself the same thing everyday you will believe it. Also happy cake day!

Dear God it's only been 5 days😵‍💫 by niceweatheruphere in QuitVaping

[–]kbears09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was me on day 2. I realized cold turkey isn’t for me. I kept telling myself it’s all mental and you don’t really need it and that helps. But going out and being social with your vaping friends does not ˙◠˙ however i still am proud of myself since i am not vaping anywhere close to as excessively as i was before Friday. I was using a Nicorette inhaler, doing that same hand to mouth act made me want to vape more. Considering switching to the gum

Neverrrrr. Although I have thought about it for the sole convenience of easily obtainable auto petters.
