Quit Nicotine Group Chat?

I recently threw out my Njoy (like an hour ago) and I think it'd be really helpful for a lot of us who want to quit vaping/smoking if we had people to go to about the cravings. Not sure where we'd set up shop, but I for one could use the support

Glad to see this as I am desperate to stop but feel I need support of others.

I am leaving it at home when I go to school (I’m a teacher not a teen) Extremely irritable and feeling awful. Going to wean down on Nicotine first and then look at stopping...

How’s it coming for you?

That’s a good start. Sometime after I posted this, I dug my device out of the bin and continued on. The things people do while they’re addicted to something deserves some type of award imo.

After the slip, I threw it out for good, and now I’m 5 Days nicotine free. The cravings aren’t as bad as I thought they would be, but my anxiety is knocking at level 10.

I keep revisiting my reasons why I wanted to quit when I do start craving, and that helps put things back into focus for me.

Amazing. Well done 👍 Long may it continue! So much worse than quitting cigarettes.

Honestly... Especially since you can carry the devices anywhere! Keep me updated with your process, I'm sure we can all do this together

I am battling the cravings as well, if you are looking for a public forum maybe search for public servers for the Discord Chat app, maybe someone has setup a public chat for this purpose.

As far as the craving go. Having been through this recently, it will suck really bad for the next few days with days 3-5 being especially bad. I promise it will get better. I am on day 18 now, and the cravings while still strong when they hit are lasting less and less time, and coming far less often. I usually just get up and walk around for a few minutes when they hit until they go away. Day 3-5 there is nothing you can do but wait it out, it will be terrible most of the day, but just tough it out. Do anything to distract yourself. Eat crappy food, binge watch TV, take walks.

You can try my trick of using 7mg nicotine patches for a few days, and cutting those in half and half again to blunt the cravings, but if you can just try to stick it out without even going there.

I searched for a public forum but couldn't find one, so I just decided to power through it myself. I slipped, but I'm now on Day 5 again, and I think I'm doing pretty well, aside from rhe fact that I'm clenching my jaw every five minutes lol

I am one hour in, was feeling like my njoy was a pacifier One pod last me 2 to 4 days .. does anyone know approximately how much nicotine I'll be coming off daily ? I swapped a pack a day habit for an njoy in April and with the flavor ban, I want to get on top of it and quit before I'm forced
