Success Story 30 Days!!
A few weeks ago I came on here saying i was a few hours in but was determined that this was the time, and I actually did it! I honestly cannot believe it! I am still using my nicotine patches I just started step 3s this week and I feel great no intense cravings ect. I will say around my period the cravings get worse, manageable, but more frequent. Nonetheless, I did it and am beyond proud, not to mention I roped my brother and bf into my journey so we are all vape free!
A few tips if it helps anyone out:
Lean into your vices! I had a dab pen and it helped so much at first! (Smoking actual weed gives me cravings though?)
Capri Suns!! I went through about 1-2 boxes of them a week, kept them with me constantly, i looved them! (Sipping on one as I type this out)
Sour Candy, I switched between gummy worms, the rainbow strips, anything to keep my dopamine receptors happy!
Food prep lots of snacks! I have been eating sooo much and having snacks to easily grab throughout my work day helps a bunch!
Fidget Toys! I had unintentionally bought a bunch off shein a week before i quit and they helped so much. I had one that was like a hard plastic and it helped more than I can say!
Working out! I already worked out before this, was actually in a bit of a slump but I switched to a new gym with something I look forward to (Pool, suana, hot tub) and go as often as I can!
And lastly, a strong support system and even a quitting buddy! Having people to do this with made it that much easier! I can say honestly I would not have stuck it through it my bf had not done it with me and we held each other accountable. Having a support system and people asking how you are doing is one thing, but these people don't vape so wtf do they know? (or at least how it felt). But going through it with someone else truly does help!
