How and why I QUIT VAPING

Why did I quit vaping after 3 years of doing it?

.

Vaping took over my life to the point where I couldn’t go a day without it and I constantly thought about it when I didn’t have one, I hated lying to the people I loved and having to hide part of my life from them.

I knew it was bad for my health but I did it anyways, it made me so tired and winded when I did the smallest amount of physical activity, I constantly was getting sick.

I hated the feeling of people judging me for doing it, I knew it was gross but I liked it and I felt like I needed it to calm myself from anxiety but in reality it was causing the anxiety.

How did I quit?

-I got the “I am sober” app and started keeping track of my sober days

-I got rid of any vapes that I had

-I left my old friend group(stopped surrounding myself with vapes)

-I made new friends that don’t support that kind of thing

-I chew A LOT of strong mint gum (helps with cravings for me)

- I surround myself with people that support me

-I’ve grown closer to God again.

Quitting is hard. I’ve failed many times but I’ve kept trying and now I’m almost 3 months nicotine free!!

I still have cravings, still want to do it again, but I remind myself it’s not worth the work I’ve put into it to start over now.

Yes quitting might seem impossible, but after vaping everyday for 3 years, I am proof that it’s not.
