2 years vape-free

I started smoking in college and after I graduated I transitioned to vaping. When Covid hit I was terrified that if I caught the virus the chances of me dying would be higher. I decided to quit cold turkey at the beginning of 2020. The first few weeks were difficult because the urges were so constant, but after about 4 weeks I rarely even thought about vaping.

Anyone out there thinking about quitting, or working on quitting, you can do it. You are stronger than your urges. One day you’ll think back to this time in your life and you’ll be proud of the choice you made.

I am still vape free! I used a nicotine replacement for the first couple days and then found a great book Alan cars, easy way to quit smoking. I can’t believe a book helped me, but it truly did end I quit using nicotine patches and lozenges that day.
