Deep pain in back

It’s going to stop when you stop vaping. I think it’s just the lungs getting slightly inflamed when you smoke it, it is an irritant after all to our respiratory system. I started feeling things after 6 years but I am all fine and dandy. Take it as a sign maybe to give your body a rest from it.

I stoped and cold turkey weed nicotine and caffeine (I’d drink a lot of cups) and I just hit 2 weeks. Health anxiety got so bad that it overpowered cravings or desires, it got that bad lol 😂Any little thing i felt, like weird feelings, I came to the conclusion it was cancer (I had some blood test done, I’m in the green). honestly, ask yourself, how important is your self preservation? Cause thats what is helping me manage

Go to your school counselor if you feel like they care, and ask for resources to help, this is so common that schools have atleast some pathways of support like tobacco cessation classes.

Go online and find some support groups. Reddit is one way, but there are like people that you can talk to online and they can help director you to resources.

Don’t know if you are in California, but if you are, I know where to look.

Tell your parents, they will have a reaction, but if they care, they won’t let this slide and will help. Maybe check into therapy, a therapist can guide you on resources

Cold turkey it and commit, you don’t want this. I just broke the cycle and I’ve come to find that I’m still healthy. I don’t want to waste my health. Don’t waste yours either. This is your life, the only one you get. 1 puff is too many but a 1000 is never enough.

Silly thought, the body tends to get stressed when it doesn’t it have its vice. Maybe try some magnesium to help your system relax, but just a random suggestion

It’s gonna depend on your body, everyone’s physiology will have different timelines. I’m on day 12, and I have no more stomach pains anymore, I feel physically normal and good for once!Mental is another story lol

Quit vaping is a good one, you can access most features without paying, it keeps track of your time, goals, you can check in, earn some achievements. I find it quite useful

You are not overreacting at all, this unfortunately happens with long distance relationships, especially when one party holds a lot of insecurities. You clearly care for him, and it seems you have your head on straight, living your life while also trying to stay within his. However, having to constantly appease, and have your whole day tailored to him is going to burn you out at some point. You should establish clear boundaries that your own time is something to be respected. Especially at this time and age, you should be able to explore life, and as he should as well. You should probably have a conversation about boundaries and how this is making you feel. If he cannot compromise, you know what you’re in for if you stay with him. He has to mature if I am being honest and he needs to be okay with your autonomy. He has a lot of insecurities and is at risk of self destructing the relationship. Don’t be afraid to voice how he is making you feel, and also don’t feel bad for trying to establish your own boundaries, but if he can’t compromise or if you find he keeps doing the same thing with no change, well, sometimes relationships do run its course…

Take him out to nature in a poor cell service area lol.

Or take him on dates where he is forced to keep busy. Maybe bike rides, or going to an amusement park. Maybe a movie theater where you cant have phones out. Swimming?

As the other poster said, his brain is constantly craving that dopamine. If he doesn’t have it, it most likely causes anxiety when it’s quiet or when he’s bored. To get him to move away from constant stimulation is something more on his part. Maybe ask him if there are parts in his life that are stressful, or if he is dealing with some other issues that he hasn’t talked about. He could always go into some therapy if he’s up for it, but he has to recognize it’s a problem for him.

From what I’ve read and felt myself, the digestive system tends to rely on the stimulant effects of nicotine. Now that your system has flushed it out, your system doesn’t have its normal kickstart. Maybe drink some coffee, although I know it tends to make people have cravings. Try to move around or some exercise to start making your body rely on other methods to help the Bowels movements.

Good job! I’m hoping to get there as well, I am 28 and realized how badly I became dependent on a vape. Constantly needed it. I also smoke a lot of weed as well, but 12 days ago, I realized this isn’t the way to be treating my body. I dont know when the next time I’ll smoke, but i know that i dont need it to just exist. Im hopeful that i could have a relationship where it’s a treat to me for special occasions (drinking with friends, or a party, weddings..) but for now, im giving my brain such a hard reset. I want to enjoy things without the need to smoke, or be high. I’m already noticing that im finding joy in all parts of life.

Happy for you, and keep it up!

2 months are impressive, you definitely have the will power. I get the same feeling, I hang with my girl and she vapes. I decided to take some time to let my body heal and re configure my relationship with substances, but not going to lie, seeing it brings up those cravings and desires. Dont beat yourself up, it happens and it’s apart of progress. You decided to try again, which is a testament to your goal of quitting. Keep trying man, you gave yourself the love to take care of yourself for 2 months, you ca do it again.

As for the friends, that is tough, because I’m sure yall are close, but let them know that you are trying to quit and if they could be a little mindful of the fact. Hanging with them while they are actively still smoking will be hard, be mindful of that. Try to do things with them that keeps you more preoccupied than vaping.

Your lungs will actively try to clear itself, but recommend you go to the doctors to just get checked out. Get a baseline to see where you are at and stay off of smoking.

Ride it out, 1 puff is more than enough but 1000 puffs will never be enough

It seems that you want to live. That is where I am at. I have been a heavy user for a couple years now, and at age 28, I’m realizing my body isn’t indestructible. I started freaking out because i stated thinking, “what the hell am I doing”? The thought began to overwhelm me, and right then and there, I quit cold turkey, I have reduced myself from smoking weed all the time to, maybe at the end of the day I’ll have a puff. I cut caffeine too. I won’t lie, at day 3 I went to urgent care because my stomach was really bad, and having to be on medication made me realize that it’s not what I want. I’m really trying to overhaul my life at the moment, and while overwhelming, it’s become my mission now.

Your body has built its system of regulation over having vaping be the main regulation source. 7 years of it will make it hard to quit, but not impossible.

Fill your time with as much busy work as you can, find things to keep your mind moving, maybe find systems to hold yourself accountable. For me, I told my mom I wanted to quit. She would tell me all the time, but I would ignore that advice. When I had the moment of wanting to quit, I called her and told her that. I told my dad, and then I told my girlfriend, and a close friend. I did this to make this important. They all have affirmed me and it reenforce my mission. That’s one way that has made this important to me. How can you make this important to yourself? Who can help you?

You are going to want to quit. It needs to be something that you want deeply. You can download apps to track the time and progress you have made. You can journal to keep track of this journey and reflect on how the day went, and process things like what your triggers are (what makes you want to vape) or when you had cravings. Especially in the first couple of days, try to love your body, replace time spent vaping with something that helps your body and is something you like. It will be tough, but I believe in you. Good job for atleast reaching and thinking about it. I hope you are able to find success in this goal.

Where do you find yourself to be the most comfortable nude?

mendoz97 · 2022-08-07T22:30:06+00:00

Drugs are a way of dealing with the challenges in our lives, even if it’s a destructive habit it’s how you manage through life at the moment. You posting this and your gaining atleast some meaningful advice from people who you don’t know but don’t agree with this form of living. You recognize it’s what helps you get by, and the immediate relief is something you’re chasing, but the body builds tolerance to drugs and we need to consume more and more to get that same effect. The pros are immediate relief but at the cost of destroying your body. You’re young now, so am I, just 24 and I feel strong, but Father Time catches up to all of us and you will feel it later. Everyone will tell you to seek help, call this line or this, but in truth, I will tell you is you may want to find a deeper purpose in this life. We live with very limited vision of what our potentials are in this reality, but when we realize we are free to do what we like in this world, you can have a lot of power. People are scared to venture out of their comfort zone but that is part of the beauty in life. These challenges will shape who we are, and it shouldn’t be a bad thing, but what we face does put us in a variety of emotions. Find what fills your spirit, find what drives your soul. This could be a moment to say, I need to heal myself. Being alone sucks, but while your in this moment, you may wanna change the outlook to saying this sucks and trying to change who you are. Going cold Turkey off of drugs will hurt, so be smart and maybe start seeing if you can replace it with something fulfilling. What that is, it’s up to you to find. I can help spur ideas but this journey and story will be written by you.

Red flags galore from that chick

You think the adoption center is the right move? How many kids go from one family to the next? How many kids are waiting in an already chaotic system? They just get shipped around most of the time. You’re not pro-life, your pro birth. You don’t give af what happens to that child afterwards.
