Reciprocity

You can't smoke/vape what you don't have! Get rid of your vape device & any Vape cartridges (take a steel claw hammer to them and render them all non-functional). Having them within reach is setting yourself up for failure. You need to FULLY COMMIT mentally to quitting, right from day one. Quitting is not like sticking your big toe in the water to see how it feels before you commit to getting in. Quitting is diving in head first without concern about how uncomfortable it might be. Glad you're back at it! Take the advice given here and all the information on this site and allow it to guide your actions going forward.

Good for you! Keep it up, even if/when you do run into a rough patch where you want to vape - just don't! The longer you stay clean, the easier it gets

Hi @LPatto! Yeah, the early days of quitting suck big time, that's for sure but it's just a brief period of having to stay focused and deny your nicotine addiction in exchange for a lifetime of Freedom from having smoking/vaping literally run your daily life each & every day!! Keep busy with something/anything to help take your mind off having just one puff to quiet the compulsion you feel to have a smoke. We are all nicotine junkies but we can all break free from being a slave to that addiction. It really is a matter of wanting to quit MORE than you want to smoke. The prize you are fighting for (Freedom) is worth every minute of withdrawal difficulties and remember ... Somking/vaping NEVER helped anything in your life. Just robbed you of your money, health & freedom to be smoke free, like you once were. Determination is critical!!! Never give in no matter what! You'll see, there will be light at the end of the tunnel. We have all been right where you are now and we have all had to battle those early days too so we know what we're talking about ... it IS possible to quit for good! Why not join the rest of us? You have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

Eight Years of NOPE!

Thank you! Funny how our perception changes isn't it? When I was a smoker, I couldn't imagine ever quitting whereas now that I've been quit for a number of years, I can't imagine why I ever smoked all those years Celebrating with a spa day! Oh wait ... are they really just boiling me for dinner

Just think about the time ahead after you've been quit for some time and you rarely if ever think about buying or having a smoke! That's Freedom my friend; real Freedom!
