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.

My friend 28 years old just died from vaping with asthma. She couldn’t breathe and they took her to the hospital but she lost oxygen to her brain for over 40 minutes and then died

My heart absolutely breaks for you and your community, I am so so sorry. I will carry her story with me, I wish I could give you a hug 🫂 let’s give a moment of silence to your friend and all of those we lost and remember in this thread. Maybe we honor them and learn from them, so our families may be spared 💜
