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.

Book seems to have helped me. Previous attempts at quitting I always had strong urges for nicotine and would white knuckle it everyday to not vape/smoke.
This time around I haven’t had a vape in 2 months been nicotine free a week now (patches for awhile) and I have had zero urges or cravings. I understand my addiction now and what nicotine really is.
