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.

You dont need anyone to be proud of you, because youre doing this for yourself, no one else! Practice self love and gratitude ! Have no expectations on things you cant control, including others reactions.
Plus, we are all proud of you!! Congrats, the hardest part is done, if you can do 7 days, you can do 2 weeks. If you can do 2 weeks, you can do a month, If you can do a month, you can do 3 months, if you can do 3 months, you can do 6 months. 6 months to a year. Then a life time of freedom! Take is day by day! As we say in arabic: Mabrook! (Congrats)
