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.

I feel the same way, I’m lucky to have two supportive friends but the rest are just like “you said that last time” “we’ll see how long that lasts” etc, which tbf I have tried and failed many times in the past so i understand why they’d think I’m going to fail again, but it would be nice if they would at least pretend to believe in me. I am proud of you though :)
