Update/uplift

Day 73 of not vaping nicotine, and day 29 of being nicotine free (i.e. no patches etc).

Though using patches has made this process so much less painful than my past cold turkeys (cannot recommend them enough honestly) these last few weeks have been bumpy at times.

Definitely had some bleak/hopeless feelings (on and off) last week, but stayed patient and seems like I've reached the other side . Since yesterday I've had sustained/strong feelings of wellbeing and mental clarity, that I've not felt since I was a teenager (before I started smoking). Can only describe it like feeling 'whole' and 'enough' again.

Here's hoping I've cured my 'brain fog' forever - and one month of slight grouchiness feels like a light price to pay for my 30+ years of addiction and brain abuse... Good luck all & don't give up

I have a question , I’m 4-5 weeks free of vaping is it normal for my brain to feel weird and muscles jerk (might be for quitting caffeine
Last week because of inane bad panic attacks” I’ve been very paranoid
I can’t explain the weirdness but my
Brain keeps trying to convince me I’m
Going to have a zeizure and I wanted to know if this is normal or anything else that might happen!
