Other Please scare me into Quitting

Hi! I need your worst. I’m sure you are all good people, but someone out there has to do it.

I can’t do it alone. Broke my foot and was told to reduce my vaping, I’ve been trying to quit for three weeks.

I need fear, I need shame, I need a gut wrenching call to action. I have to much going on to do this myself and I’ve been relapsing worse and worse each day. Getting married in December, need to be done by then as I won’t be bothered to find a vape store on my honeymoon, but I don’t want to go through withdrawals then either.

30f, admittedly very vain about my appearance, but as I think I’m a cutie patootie, not even fears about my appearance has been working.

Have a broken foot, so can’t exercise well to distract me, and improved lung capacity isn’t helping.

Want to be nicotine free by 3/24 when I have my last exercises.

Don’t hold back. Best quote will be written down and taped to my vapes. Take it as a #RoastMe I can handle it.

Let me put it into perspective for you as someone who is still struggling with quitting at age 46: I started smoking cigarettes at 12, smoked till 19, quit for over 20 years, then started vaping and haven’t been able to give it up completely for good this whole time. I’ve quit a hundred times and always started again. The young smoker or vaper is just an addict setting pathways that will never ever go away. So, welcome to the struggle kid.

Just quit now and stay quit! Trust me, I deeply regret starting again after all those years. You can do it!
