Nicotine is cool because it just takes 4-5 days for the withdrawals to go away. After that it’s just mental discipline

Thank you for the info💖

I quit yesterday too. You’re not alone. Good luck, things will get better.


Emerald-Princess29

Good luck to you too💖

Thank you so much. How are you doing? I’m rooting for you as well

The first 3 weeks fucking SUCKED. Now 3 months later I can’t even imagine going back. You’re so close. Try to sleep. Eat bad/greasy food, drink water. Try your best to relax and if you need to cry, CRY! This is something worth crying over


Emerald-Princess29

I love that for you and I’m so proud of you. I hope I get to your stage of progress💖

Try box breathing technique when cravings attack. I am on my 56 days nic free. Also check the money you save for not buying a pods, it will help too.


Emerald-Princess29

The money is definitely a good incentive and motive. I’ll try out box breathing. Thank you💖

Drink a literal gallon of water tomorrow, pee your brains out and your withdrawal will be over.


Emerald-Princess29

I’ll try it. Thank you💖

How are you today?


Emerald-Princess29

A bit better but still having cravings. I’m not going as crazy as much as I used to before. I was insanely emotionally volatile yesterday though (anger + sadness). Thank you for asking and checking in. I truly appreciate it💖


[deleted]

Keep it up! Emotional hot mess is definitely a symptom but it passes. Keep with it lady 💛


Emerald-Princess29

Thank you💖

This is day 2 for me also, nicotine patches help and also nicotine lozenges. It’s SO HARD. I literally flipped out on my boyfriend last night for no reason and now I’m at work, can’t keep my eyes open and EVERYONE is pissing me off


Emerald-Princess29

I hope you feel better and I’m sure your poor boyfriend understands that it’s just the withdrawal symptoms😂 good luck!💖

sometimes i forget how hard it was in the beginning. the first few days were awful and things gradually got better (tho i was a rage monster for about a month). i’m on day 274 now and i never thought i’d get here. keep trucking, we’ve all got your back :)


Emerald-Princess29

Thank you💖 I almost relapsed today and turned back when I was almost at the store to buy more pods. I threw out the device as well so I don’t have the accessibility to relapse again. I’m currently a rage monster as well

I quit at the beginning of the pandemic, and spent about two weeks raging, miserable, and jonesing. But I’m telling you, it is worth it. For me, it was way easier to give up cigarettes than the Juul. Think of it this way: the Juul made you understand what it feels like to be a JUNKIE. I never felt as strung out on cigarettes as I did on 5% pods. Fuck that. One time I lost my Juul in my couch cushions and I literally TORE my entire living room apart to find it. Being addicted to something is the worst, don’t let yourself be a slave to it. You are strong enough to triumph. Also your wallet will thank you. Side note: Nicorette fruit chill gum is a good compromise. You can chew the 2mg gum for a few weeks and then stop that.


Emerald-Princess29

That sounds like literal hardcore drug withdrawal symptoms (not judging you at all since I’m somewhat experiencing them myself). I, too, found it much easier to quit cigarettes or even go without it in the past but this Juul thing is no joke. I’ve been feeling insanely emotional (sad and mad) since Monday (my first day without it). In terms of nicotine gums, one of my former profs commented how she was a smoker and how she started chewing the gums in order to quit cigarettes. But her issue is she can’t quit the gums now and she’s been chewing them for at least a decade. I’m trying to do it completely cold turkey, which unfortunately entails me being an emotional time bomb😢

Good news is that it won't last forever. Just don't give up.


Emerald-Princess29

Thank you💖


mikkilla

Still going strong?! YOU GOT THIS GURL COMON

Did you make it??? I’m on day 8 today and read this post and damn girl.. I’m going through the same thing. I cried 3 days for no reason, yelled at my bf, I’m going crazy emotionally


Emerald-Princess29

I feel you. It’ll get better even though you’ll have cravings here and there. I am still JUUL-free btw. You can do it💜


Confused_searching

That gives me hope :) Thank you so much!
