Whole day 1 without smoking.

I HOPE I dont buy a vape tomorrow. I really need to quit. I want to quit. But im very addicted. 17 years straight. My body knows. And i need to stop. But i dont know how. So i threw it away yesterday. So all last night and all day today. Today has been tough. Maybe i should get nicotine gum. Or the patches. But smokinhg is my vice. Its all i think about lately. I dont bring it to work. And ill wait all day to hit the regular vape. I dont even want thc. But then ill hit it all night long. And on my days off i hit it all day long. I just stopped today. But i feel like i need it.

Bless you. Never wanted to give up but, as a part-time counsellor, I know that some clients do respond to rather than that definitive negative of "I'm not going to.." which can act like a red rag to a bull - saying no adds an instant attraction and places it clear in the mind...risking to do whatever the vice is again. Ok? - to the following..

But what does seem to work for a lot of people - and I include myself when I stopped taking cocaine - is the mantra of "I don't want this, presently.." making it a decision of right here, right now. It works until the next hurdle...then repeat that mantra again..etc.

Best of luck. Keep carrying on.
