Hi are you also @LPatto? As everyone here said, get rid of your vape materials!! You cannot have any of that in your house and/or car. Get rid of it, and as @Reciprocity said take a steel claw hammer to all of it!!! Destroy it all, because if you don't, it will destroy you!! If you don't get rid of all the paraphernalia, you will go back! We are addicts and if it's put in front of us, we are tempted, especially in the beginning. When I quit almost 2 years ago, I started with the weaning method. BIG BIG MISTAKE!! I went from smoking 3/4 to a pack a day and weaned down to 2 a day. The worst thing I could have done as I was in constant withdrawal, especially when I was down to just 2 a day (one in the morning, one in the evening). I can still remember how horrible I felt as I wasn't fully quit and wasn't a full smoker either, and I had horrible withdrawal symptoms. Everyone on this forum told me to get rid of the cigs and stop smoking totally! I listened to them and yes, the first week or so was hell for me, but it got a tiny bit better each day. YOU MUST GET RID OF THE VAPES!! That is the ONLY way to do it!! I believe that if you come on this forum every day, especially in the beginning, do the NOPE pledge every day as well, you will succeed. It worked for me and I was really addicted to cigarettes, and I'm sure vaping is just as addicting. As I said in my other post, we can give you all the tips and tricks, but YOU are the one who has to do the quitting. I want you to succeed, we all do! GET RID OF THE VAPE STUFF!!! That is the ONLY WAY!! JUST DO IT!!

You are doing great @LPatto Keep up the good work!! One day at a time and you will get through the withdrawals. Every day it will get easier and easier. Just don't take one puff ever, because if you do, you will be right back where you started and who wants to go through withdrawal more than once!

NOPE!!

Hi @LPatto Welcome to Quittrain. This is the right place to get quitting smoking/vaping support. We all know what you are going through, because even though there are many people who have been quit a decade or longer, everyone here was a newbie at one time. Quitting is not easy, I certainly know that, and in the early days of my quit, I was climbing the walls, but coming on here every day really really helped me to stay quit! What I did in those early days, is I took cinnamon sticks and made believe they were a cigarette. I would suck the air in and pretend that I'm blowing smoke out. If you don't like cinnamon, cut up straws also work. Quitting any habit is very difficult, but the longer you stay quit, the easier it will become, I can promise you that. I went from climbing the walls in those early days to rarely ever thinking about smoking. The urges do go away, they really do! You might want to speak with your doctor again about a pill called Welbutrin. It's an anti depressant but it's also used to quit smoking. We can offer you all sorts of advice and helpful hints and tricks, but in the end, you are the one who has to want to stop. I wish you the best of luck in this and hope to see you on here again. The more you come on here, especially in the beginning of your quit, the more success you will have. I truly believe that and it has really worked for me and many other people. Reach out to us whenever you are having urges and are really upset. There is an SOS section. Someone is always around as we have people here from all over the world in many different time zones. Good luck to you!
