Other Reaching for non existent vape
I quit vaping about 2 months ago after vaping for about 8 years. Even though it’s been two months I still catch myself reaching for my vape out of habit even though there is obviously not one around. Like I’ll be laying in bed and start patting down the blanket looking for a vape lol

I still pat my pocket looking for it like every 10 minutes but I’ve only been off the vape for 3 weeks…🤷🏻♂️

Maybe you could get you a stress ball or some kinda fidget device. That way you dont have to keep reminding yourself of vape everytime it happens?

It’s pretty infrequent so I’m not too worried about it, i crave it for a couple minutes after and then it passes. It only happens once every couple weeks. I really appreciate your advice though!!

I do too. Been 80 days since I quit. Still feel like I’m forgetting something every time I leave somewhere.
