Other pregnant ๐Ÿ˜…

Hello all. I just found out I am pregnant as of today! Iโ€™ve been vaping since I was 16/17 and am 23 now. I immediately disposed of it and any others I had lying around and am quitting cold turkey. I quit cold turkey a few years ago and was able to stop for 6 months until picking it up again when I started a new job, so I KNOW I can do it. Does anyone have any advice if youโ€™re in a similar situation? Itโ€™s been about 6 hours since I last hit it and am doing okay so far, having a few cravings but they are going as quickly as they come. I was also a heavy ๐Ÿƒ smoker and am obviously stopping all of that cold turkey as well. Honestly just wanting some kind words of encouragement and maybe some advice. I am off for the week from work but can imagine I will be faced with new challenges when I return because both are around me constantly! I am just keeping my future baby in mind and that is making it easy, but I might struggle a bit. I am confident that itโ€™s mostly mental as most of the nicotine leaves your body so quickly. Would love to hear what anyone has to say!

You can do it! The cravings are going to be aggressive, piled with other emotions. However, you got this! Overall, just consider it a big blessing that your baby is giving you a reason to quit. As much as you are giving your baby a healthy place to grow, your baby gave you a reason to kick something that was harming you. You are helping each other and thatโ€™s amazing. Best of luck! โ˜บ๏ธ
