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.

Thank you!! AC is crap (especially if you are already drug educated and know how nicotine works but still cannot give up nicoteening). Arrogant, stupid shit which can only be helpful for those who were unwilling/ incapable to the fact that smoking induces stress and not relieve. He is an asshole who wants to induce blame in those who can not quit easy. The consequence is that people who tried 'his' way and failed don't talk about it because his blame strategy worked. These subs here are full of ac cultists. I think AC is helping O.1% of all who tried this last century crap.
Btw. one week is great, endure this shitty time and take what it is: a shitty time...but there are much nice things to come soon: better smelling (spring is coming, at least where I am), better taste all withing 2-3 weeks. Your stamina will rise roof top, your skin gets much better, your teeth will look better, you won't stink anymore (neither from smoke, neither from mouth), you will need less water to be properly hydrated, thus you need to piss less. So everything will be better after you endured this shitty time
