WHY I QUIT NICOTINE…

I’ve been vaping for a little over 4 years. My addiction was bad, i mean falling asleep with it in my hand and it was the first thing i was doing when i woke up. i’ve tried to quit multiple times but i always came back to it. Recently it started getting to where i was struggling to catch my breath and i was feeling tightness in my chest. i thought about it and really let myself sit with what i was doing to my body. Not only was the nicotine bad for my body, but the amount of chemicals and oils that are in vapes are so bad for you. Understanding that formaldehyde was one of them, was a big part. So i ordered a ripple vape which is 0% nicotine and an aromatic diffuser. none of the bad shit that’s in the regular vapes. once it came it, i had one last day with my reg vape and then got rid of it. i picked up minty gum, mints and tic-tacs. anything to keep my mouth moving but would also give my throat a little hit. the second and third days were the worst. i was irritable and just wanted a vape, but when i was really craving it, i would hit my ripple. It’s been a week and im doing so much better. i still have those times when i want one but i know my body is so much healthier without it. i personally would like to live for a pretty long time and i know without a vape, i get a better chance at that. my boyfriend is also quitting with me! having someone do it with you and being held accountable has helped us so much. if you’re thinking about quitting, do it! it’s hard, i won’t lie to you, especially because it’s such a normal thing now for people to do. it’s so so worth it though, i already feel so much better. my appetite is back and im actually eating full meals. i enjoy my food so much more now. i promise you can do it and if you quit and then go back and then quit and go back, its okay. that’s the journey of addiction and it happens.
