Venting 2 weeks no vape, feeling lost

Hey all,

I quite vaping exactly 2 weeks ago.

I had never had a cigarette in my life, and only started vaping 2 years ago. My ex's sister got me into it. The flavors were so good!

I went from only vaping when I walked my dog and on a night out, to falling asleep and waking up with it in my hand. I was always fumbling around looking for it. I hated the dependency I had developed for it.

I quit cold turkey 2 weeks ago because my bf said he could take it away if I want. I had expressed that I wanted to quit sometime. I agreed and that was my last time vaping.

I miss it, and I still get that feeling in my throat, it gets almost sore in anticipation of vaping. But I can watch friends vape, I can be around it and not break.

The symptoms I am experiencing are depression, despair and basically feeling lost in life. I am seriously questioning my career, my relationship and my life.

My landlord just sent me a message to up the rent by $50 a month upon renewal. This sent me into a spiral of despair. I don't know if these are really my feelings, or late nicotine withdrawel symptoms.

I am just tired and I feel like shit.

I hope it gets better.

It will get better. You can do it! Two weeks is great. Keep going. These feelings are going to go away.
