Glad to see you're still toughing it out @stzr500! Also happy @johnny5 as able to find what you were looking for. I know it's really tough right now but you're doing the right thingby raging against nicotine addiction. And know that it WILL get gradually easier in the days to come.

@stzr500, I forgot to mention The Daily NOPE Pledge thread. Some people find it helpful to renew their commitment to quit & stay quit by posting NOPE (Not One Puff Ever) in this thread. The idea is that you're just committing not to smoke for one day; today! Often when we think of quitting we look too far ahead and it all seems overwhelming but if we take smaller bites, such as just one day, it seems more doable. Just wanted you to know that thread was there in case that's of interest to you.

Vaping has often been promoted as the 'safer way to get nicotine into your body' but truth is, vaping hasn't been around long enough for long term studies to show the possible harm it does to the human body. As far as I'm concerned, anything but fresh air that we beath into our lungs has a potential to harm us. Even fresh air these days is getting harder and harder to find, depending on where one lives which adds more wehight to not introduce anything else to our lungs that may have a negative effect. There's a section on this forum with threads about vaping. Perhaps you could read those as a source of infomation? https://www.quittrain.com/forum/18-vaping-juuling-unquestionable-addiction-reckless-aftermath/

Sorry to hear of your relapse but glad to hear you have finally committed yourself to dealing with your nicotine addiction once and for all. I can understand why the levels of nicotine you are used to getting through vaping might make withdrawal more intense but remember ... the worst withdrawal symptoms don't last that long and as bad as they are, they won't kill you. You CAN and must do this for your future well being. You have many people here to support you through your journey - just like you did on QSMB.

Congrats on your Mum's Centennial Birthday! She sure must have a rock solid constitution to be still going strong at 100 and still smoking. Not many can do that. I've heard that song before myself and yeah, no way it would be a hit today 😄
