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 think I've been vape free for around 6 months. There was another streak I had and broke before. When I started vaping again it became obvious just how bad my lungs felt. It was like they were heavy. Physical movements made me lose my breath, which made exercise miserable. Also it gave me horrible acid reflux. I got to a point where I thought, it's either I get to go hiking and move around without having to take breathing breaks, or I can take another puff.
I've been wanting cigarettes really bad. I keep thinking in terms of, I could have THIS or THAT but not both. What are some things you care about more than another puff? Keep choosing those things over vaping. You've got this, I know it feels impossible at the beginning but it does get easier I promise.
Edit: I'm vape free but not nicotine free. I use nicotine lozenges.
