I  have reset my Quit date for midnight tonight.  Can't believe I screwed up so soon. Can't stop trying though. One day at a time.

You don't need to make a new profile if you relapse.  You can just update your existing account. Makes it easier on all of us to better offer our support.

My suggestion for you is to throw away the vape and everything smokable you have in your home. I know when I quit the first few hours that day were smoking all the butts I had in my ashtrays

Agree , chuck that vape out …

Give yourself a fighting chance 

Are you reading , and watching all the stuff we are offering . 
The more you learn , the more chance you have

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.

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!!

Hi @Picaresque. You made the right decision to come back here and re-commit to your plan to stop Vaping or smoking. Just re-read alot of posts here and get back on track. Never quit quitting and make this your forever quit as my friend @jillar reminded me to do when I arrived here.
 

Let us know how you are doing.
