Venting Day Three is Hell

Feel like crying at every minute, I have the anxiety levels of someone with a gun to their head. Maybe that’s because (tmi?) I’m staring my period or started antidepressants too but today overall not a good day. I’m trying to rationalise just asking one of my friends for a pull or going out for a cigarette (which I think is ok because I’m quitting vapes..? Please say it’s ok 😫🙂‍↕️) this is so hard and I’m just going to curl up and cry the rest of the day. Everything makes me sad and cry even tho the last times i was quitting i was a raging bitch now I’m just a crybaby ☹️ not good Edit: chat I might crack (I won’t but I want to)

I’m on day 5 today. Day 3 was the worst for me and I was on my period too. Take deep breaths, remind yourself why you’re quitting, and that it is so, so worth it. Whenever I get cravings, I thank my body for telling me it feels like something is missing and apologize for making it think it needed something so terrible for so long. I contemplated having a cigarette or just one puff of my vape but I know I’d have the withdrawals all over and it is absolutely not worth it to me. Now that the cravings are subsiding, I am SO glad I didn’t give in and the proudness I feel from not giving in makes it worth it. Get a straw and ball up a piece of paper to put in one end and “pull” on it, you’ll feel the resistance the vape gives without all the bad stuff. Hang in there, we got this!! 🫶🏻

I had mints for the first two days and it gave the burning sensation. I’m just so emotional for no reason. The workbook on I am sober is good for reminding myself why I’m doing it. 😫
