Hi all just a little update. After I posted my last message I removed my patch and haven’t touched my vape since. It’s now 9.20 am and apart from a mild headache I feel ok. I remembered a few months ago I bought my usual batch of nicotine online but after about 12 hours of vaping away but still feeling like I needed to vape I realised my nicotine was a faulty batch they had 0 Nicotine in them! No one died and I wasn’t anxious or grumpy that’s proof it’s mostly psychological

Am going to try again tomorrow no vapes no patches nothing! It’s a weekend and I don’t work weekends my 3 year old is bonkers so I’ll have my hand full until Monday! If I just make one day it’s a start. I have cigarettes here they have been here for about 2 years and the thought of them knocks me sick it’s the stupid vape it’s like a dummy lol.

Am from the UK we do have free quit smoking clinics through our National Health Service just always thought they would be a waste of time. I would love even 1 day of not vaping. You never know I might actually think it's not as bad as I thought ha! Do the cravings come and go or do you feel crazy all day? Unfortunately I fall at the first hurdle so I have no idea

I have wondered if I should just go cold turkey. The crazy thing is I have not even tried. I vape so a better solution would be to vape 0 percent nicotine and once the cravings are gone it will be just a case of keeping my hands busy

Its so frustrating its not even a real cigarette just a piece of metal right now am telling myself don't puff on the vape just for 2 weeks then I can book a holiday for a treat! Even that's not tempting me

I desperately need help. How do you even make it past a few hours once you decide to quit? I started smoking age 12 in 1998. In 2011 I started vaping (I think they where new out at that time from Liberty Flights) I smoked and vaped for 2 years. 2014 I vaped only but I vape way more than I smoked. I have it under my pillow, at my desk in work, in the bathroom, in the car literally everywhere. My 3 year old son picked up my vape to have a go so now am desperate to stop. Its literally all I think about. For the past 4 months I have been wearing a patch but still vaping every hour (better thank every 5 minutes). I literally just keep looking at the clock to see how long I haven't vaped for. Am annoyed at myself everyday, Its making me miserable. I spoke to my doctor yester about starting Varenicline (Champix) but she refused to prescribe them as in winter I have Raynaud's she thinks I should try some therapy but I feel that might be a waste of time. I can but Varenicline online but not sure if its safe considering my doc wouldn't prescribe it. Am too scared to bin the vapes in case I have a panic attack!!! It doesn't help that I work in a office I can literally have it hanging out my mouth all day. Any advice or help would be so much appreciated.
