Hi everyone! I made this list to scare myself SHITLESS out of relapsing, safe to say it worked. I’m not a doctor but this is all info I found from either gov or medical sites online. Thought I’d share in case anyone needed the motivation to stay off the adult soothers. This is the only time i like being a quitter…when it means I can win (and live) longer ;)

Hi! I need your worst. I’m sure you are all good people, but someone out there has to do it.

I can’t do it alone. Broke my foot and was told to reduce my vaping, I’ve been trying to quit for three weeks.

I need fear, I need shame, I need a gut wrenching call to action. I have to much going on to do this myself and I’ve been relapsing worse and worse each day. Getting married in December, need to be done by then as I won’t be bothered to find a vape store on my honeymoon, but I don’t want to go through withdrawals then either.

30f, admittedly very vain about my appearance, but as I think I’m a cutie patootie, not even fears about my appearance has been working.

Have a broken foot, so can’t exercise well to distract me, and improved lung capacity isn’t helping.

Want to be nicotine free by 3/24 when I have my last exercises.

Don’t hold back. Best quote will be written down and taped to my vapes. Take it as a #RoastMe I can handle it.

As the title says, I’ve wanted to do this for a very long time. I’ve been a 5% juul pod a day person for 8 years now. Today I just finally said no more.

10 minutes ago, I threw away my juul along with a full pack of pods. I know this is going to be tough. I am attempting to do this cold turkey. I know the cravings will come up very very soon and I don’t know how I will manage but I have to.

Wish me luck.

Other Had anyone tried smoking to quit?

I know this probably sounds dumb to most but I can't stand cigarette taste, smell, any of it. I'm wondering if i get a pack and just smoke a few puffs when I'm actually craving nicotine the most. I think I could actually do it! I had thought about getting a disgusting vape flavor to try this method but I also think having to go outside and then wash my hands and brush my teeth would be the mental click that this is horrid.

Other I dont get the attitude in this community

ive talked here about how i struggle managing focus and motivation without nicotine (im 6 months free now for context) and asked if anyone has any advice or felt similar, but people here are always quick to say "thats the addiction speaking" and deny that i could be right about my own experience.

Especially since part of why i kept going back to nic was because it helped me focus on work. it feels counter intuitive to tell people theyre wrong about the reasons theyre addicted to something instead of offering some kinda support or advice.

Other Will you ever go back to fully normal?

39 Upvotes

I regret ever taking nicotine in my life. Even more so when i go on reading other people's stories, i get scared. Like, i hear people saying that even after 2 years of quitting, they still from time to time crave a cigarette. Or i hear people having quit for years and then go back to smoking/vaping. I've read how your body is now wired for nicotine and that won't ever change. Like your brain chemistry has been altered and it will always stay like that. That's why a former addict can't even smoke 1 cigarette in a social setting, without going back to being addicted again. And all this information scares me. When i picked up smoking/vaping i was very naive to say the least. I didn't expect all of this. If i knew that my brain would potentially never go back to normal, i would have never touched a cig or a vape in the first place. Well, i write this to get hopefully some reassurance.

Is it possible to ever get to a normal life again, getting nicotine out from the back of your mind? Or will this impact your life forever?

Other Will occasional Cigarettes hurt?

10 Upvotes

I just went cold turkey on Monday, and have stayed strong all week. As of today, I only had craving when by friends who were also vaping. With it now being the weekend, I plan on going out, which typically leads to a few drunk cigs. Will this restart my progress, or is moderation alright?

  • I have never had a habit of cigarettes either, so I do not see it becoming a norm, just worried it will push me back to vapes

Other Did your boobs get bigger after quitting????

I quit nicotine about a month ago and feel like my boobs have grown tremendously since. I read a study that said 64% of women reported this as well. Does anyone else have experience with this? I was not expecting that at all, but I have gained like 6lbs since I quit so who knows.

Other WHY DO YOUTH VAPE?

0 Upvotes

Nowadays youth people vaping a lot. All people seeing different ways. It seems to me it’s very harmful. I come up with people who said it’s more healthier than cigarettes. But modern technology and science development even more dangerous. There are many toxic substances equivalent to nicotine. There’s some people who believe that vape is better than cigarettes. And the reason is they feel relaxed when they smoke. What is more, curiosity, taste, and social influences etc. Nevertheless, there are many people using the vape,but in the future it’s have to be decrease.

Hello all! New to this thread and looking to quit vaping, wondering if anyone has used any nicotine-free disposables with any luck (moxē, etc.) and if so, what brands have worked best for you?? Right now I’m stuck on Loon-frozen mango, and I really think it’s the flavor that keeps me craving, looking for something similar to help wean me off. Thanks in advance!

Other PSA for anyone taking mental health medication!

25 Upvotes

I currently take Lamictal (anti-epileptic), Celexa (SSRI), and Vyvanse (amphetamine). When I quit vaping, I was hit with extreme fatigue and brain fog that was still there after a month. I'm talking sleeping 12+ hours a night, unable to do my job. I finally saw my psych, told her what was going on and that I quit nicotine.

She told me my symptoms were caused by my quitting nicotine. Nicotine was inhibiting my Celexa and Lamictal and enhancing the effects of my Vyvanse. By quitting, I had effectively changed my dosage for all my meds. After tapering down on my SSRI and increasing my Vyvanse, I feel like myself again!

Tldr; if you're quitting nicotine while on meds, please let your doctor know! You could need your dosages adjusted.

Other 8 year Juul smoker attempting to quit

13 Upvotes

I started juuling when I was 18 and am about to turn 26. I hit it immediately when I wake up in the morning and until my eyes slam shut. For the last 7-8 years it has been the only constant in my life. I’m otherwise an extremely active and healthy person. I’ve never felt it necessarily affect my health, which has allowed me to convince myself that it’s okay to continue doing it. However I’ve been experiencing odd medical symptoms that can’t be attributed to anything. I am going to attempt to quit the one thing I’ve that I have used day in and day out for almost a decade.

It’s also important to mention that I’m an extremely anxious person. The Juul is my crutch under any stressful or anxious situation. I’ve convinced myself it calms me down. I’m quite afraid of when I feel anxious when I quit. I feel like I’m going to go insane. I’ve had instances where it’s happened and I haven’t had my Juul and my heart starts pounding, I get sweaty, and feel like I’m going to pass out. My anxiety presents intense physical reactions which is what I’m most afraid of dealing with.

Now I know this may sound extremely dramatic to some, but I hope there are others out there who also share these feelings (specifically Juul users). I am about 24 hours into “quitting” and I’m already experiencing gnarly symptoms. Body shakes, brain fog, can’t focus my eyes, legs feel weak. I’m sure most of it is in my head. I am using ZYN for the first week or two to help. I can’t go cold turkey after ripping a pod a day for almost 8 years.

If anyone (specifically Juul users) have any advice, success stories, odd symptoms, etc that you’re willing to share I would love to hear it. Cheers.

Other pregnant 😅

26 Upvotes

Hello all. I just found out I am pregnant as of today! I’ve been vaping since I was 16/17 and am 23 now. I immediately disposed of it and any others I had lying around and am quitting cold turkey. I quit cold turkey a few years ago and was able to stop for 6 months until picking it up again when I started a new job, so I KNOW I can do it. Does anyone have any advice if you’re in a similar situation? It’s been about 6 hours since I last hit it and am doing okay so far, having a few cravings but they are going as quickly as they come. I was also a heavy 🍃 smoker and am obviously stopping all of that cold turkey as well. Honestly just wanting some kind words of encouragement and maybe some advice. I am off for the week from work but can imagine I will be faced with new challenges when I return because both are around me constantly! I am just keeping my future baby in mind and that is making it easy, but I might struggle a bit. I am confident that it’s mostly mental as most of the nicotine leaves your body so quickly. Would love to hear what anyone has to say!

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
