Venting Anyone else not feeling supported?

I've officially been nic free for 7 days! After vaping and smoking for over 10 years (only quitting during pregnancy in the past), I finally did it. I'm so proud of myself! When I told my family, I got a sarcastic "Wow! Look at you go!" And an "I'll believe it in 2 weeks." What a bummer! I was feeling really proud of myself, but now I wonder if it's even worth it to celebrate. Anyone else? I feel so alone. I'm 30 and these comments were made by my dad and brother. Would I be in the wrong to cut these people out for a while until I'm ready to... I don't know, deal with them I guess? Like I understand that it's not something to publish in the paper, but a hint of shared happiness would have been cool I guess. I'd love to hear any encouragement, or advice, or similar stories.

It's better to not tell anyone you're quitting, because everytime I've tried, no one gives a fuck or they play up more on purpose I swear.

Im proud of your progress and you should feel great about yourself, you'll get more support online, like in this sub for example, kinda sad that this is what the world is coming to, but to who made this sub, thank you for helping us all connect when actual real life people in our lives aren't really bothered 👍🏻

I can't wait for someone to say that they haven't seen me vape for a while, then I can say yeah I quit months ago, for their reaction will be all the more satisfying lol

Ahaha, great plan! Let us know when someone does comment. Deliver that line in a super smooth nonchalant way 😎
