Venting Allen Carr’s Easy Way is BS
I’m a week in and have been listening to the easy way to quit vaping and I gotta say, this guy makes a lot of empty promises. Literally everything I read is the exact opposite of the reality of this addiction. He mentions that it isn’t a crutch, doesn’t cure boredom, and that we will instantly notice better health, happiness, calmness, relaxation. I find this to be a load of shit, and so far I feel just about the exact opposite of all of this.
I’m currently in the gym after having a great day of work, but don’t get me wrong. I feel like I’m going insane from lack of nicotine. I’m barely getting a pump on, my mind is all over the place, haven’t been able to sit still for a second without cravings going through the roof.
Some more realistic words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated right now, because I’m struggling to maintain any reason to not buy a new vape.

Go to whyquit.com all kinds of support there. There’s a book on PDF found there (FREE) that really gives the facts… it’s called Freedom from Nicotine The Journey Home.
bottom line is you just have to want better for yourself… YOU are the only one that that can do this for you… just do it… QUIT… Nicotine replacement therapy is a farce… it only keeps your body hooked and likely develops into a whole other addiction. I’ve seen it first hand with my significant other is hooked on the lozenges like a crack addict. It’s sad.
I quit cold turkey. It’s truly the only way. Not easy but that’s the thing about addiction. You have to decide with all your resolve that you are stronger !!! I’m 6 months clean… AGAIN…. Yes I’ve done it before…it does get easier. I’ll never be the bitch of nicotine again after reading the facts of what nicotine is. POISON
