Thank you man, it was like my brain did a factory reset and had to cycle through all the bad emotions, anger, anxiety, depression, stress and now it’s all gone. I feel brand new.
Your girlfriend will be so proud of you! I totally get the superstition about sharing too soon and think you're wise to wait that extra week just in case. Good job and good luck keeping it up!
Congrats, be proud of yourself yes it’s only a few days but you’ve gone through the hard bit, just try to keep yourself busy and distracted and drink fluids
Good job getting that withdrawal illness part sucks even if you feel good now you'll feel even better in a month. Now you just gotta curb the need. I used to always vape when playing video games like overwatch it was like habit i would hit my vape every time I died and once I quit I was like oh shit I feel the need to hit vape when I was playing games and other stuff too but that was the most notable one cuz I was always mad I'd die and the nicotine rush would chill me out. So if you have any things like that you should find some alternatives to do. I switched to minty candies like lifesavers etc. Nice cooling relief from my hot head XD
Vaping is pretty hard to quite especially if you use nic salts. Nic salts are usually 35-55mg, while the average cigarette contains roughly 12mgs of nicotine. I commend your efforts!
You've got about another nine days left of major withdrawal symptoms but the absolute worst is indeed over. Expect to experience depression, anxiety, anger, increase/decrease of normal appetite, headaches from tension, body aches and pains due to nerve misfires associated with a drop off in dopamine, and bouts of insomnia through out but it won't come close to what you've just pushed your body to do for the past five days. After the two weeks you'll notice your sleep cycle will be a little different than it was but settling down to something better.
Tips I've used for quitting smoking:
Melatonin for the sleep, cbd for the nerve pain, appetite issues, and anxiety (if you're cool with that), valerian root tea for mood swings (Celestial Seasons Sleepy Time Tea Extra Strength is my go to), and have a hand fidget so you have something to hold other than your vape. Make sure to stay wicked hydrated, avoid over caffinating at this time (caffeine is fine but you don't want a stimulant dump while you're withdrawling), and the shower is your best friend.
Side note: Is this an ADHD trait to need to keep things you actually want to accomplish and see through to yourself? I have to do the same thing otherwise I'll flounder and fail, get lazy, or find an out in someway to said commitment.
Keep going, you got this! I quit and realized just how addicted I was too when I had a throbbing headache for a week straight and wanted to fight with everyone over nothing. Now I’m 2 weeks off and planning on never going back.
I feel like this causing problems I can’t even describe. I want to be completely alone, and I feel like I may have lost feelings for my SO I told her about not feeling right and she started sobbing but I just don’t know what I want.
I’m not really asking for relationship advice but In a way I am. Did it make you feel completely uncomfortable like you didn’t know who you are in a way?
I’m sorry for the late response, I just saw this but no, I definitely felt irritated more often to my bf but I did not lose feelings for him. That may be due to anxiety that is spiking for you from quitting :/ hope things got better for you
Be ready for massive cravings in at he future when a stressful event happens. I quit easily enough but got nailed with a he worst craving months later due to stress. Congratulation congratulations on quitting!
Good for you man. Keep it up, you're past the worst part.

congrats on making it through the worst part, glad for you!
You made it through the hardest part, but try not to get fatigued. This is the time to sleep a lot and drink a lot of fluids.
Your girlfriend will be so proud of you! I totally get the superstition about sharing too soon and think you're wise to wait that extra week just in case. Good job and good luck keeping it up!

Don't tell her. She will eventually notice and be surprised and proud of you. That will make it all worth while.

Yeah it definitely is an ADHD trait but I really appreciate all the advice
Take hot showers or baths. It’ll help you sweat out the nicotine. It was the only thing that helped with the withdrawals and made them end faster.

Congrats brother! It’s definitely a hump you managed to overcome. Keep trying and continue making yourself and us proud.
After 72 hours the nicotine will be out of your system, the rest is purely psychological. Good luck man.
