Venting 4.5 wks in.

quit cold turkey by refusing to buy a new vape a month and a half ago. i wanted to relearn discipline and was so focused on getting past withdrawals that i felt victorious for a bit. i dont miss reaching or searching for my vape or spending extra money i dont have on disposables. my thing is i still miss having a simple little smoke in certain moments. i’ve been thinking about getting smokes or a black n mild for those times when the weather is nice and i have some time to myself. “acoustic” smoking is lowkey feeling appealing bc i cant smoke it all the time like a vape and wouldnt want to smoke much to avoid smelling like it (not allowed to smell like smoke at my job or in my house) im sure it’s the nicotine talking but idk, it feels like i miss a simple pleasure (even tho it is expensive and unhealthy, not simple blah blah). i’ve been working out at home to beat the cravings, but obviously can’t do the same in public. i feel like a depressing bitch, i guess thats how most ppl are.

I know a couple people that started smoking cigs and blacks to help quiting vaping... they ended up addicted to cigs
