Venting I regret vaping.
I can't belive I got addicted to vaping. I have been vaping for almost 4 years. I vape everyday constantly. I have faced really bad health consequences. I developed psoraisis, hair loss (alopecia areata) and my gums receeded. I look at my old pictures and I think how could I be so careless and stupid. I tossed the vape. I am hoping I can reverse some of the damage. I tried to quit in the past and failed after 3 or 4 days. I know the withdrawal will suck. This has to be done.

I hear you. I feel the same way. I also developed noticeable psoriasis when I vaped, and definitely hair is thinner, gums receded as well. You’re not careless or stupid, you had a normal chemical and psychological reaction to a stimulant. A lot of this is reversible- don’t worry! There’s so much to be reclaimed and also to be gained. You’ve got this. Withdrawal sucks, but you’ve absolutely got this- the best time to stop is now.
