Haven't had a smoke or vape in more than a week now. I know I'm not out of the woods yet but this is a big achievement for me.
Congrats!
Good for you. Quitting nicotine is fucking hard. I quit smoking over a decade ago, but I finally got completely off nicotine products just last year.
Just some advice that helped me: keep a zero nic vape around so if you're out drinking (or some other situation where your willpower is low) and find yourself needing to vape you have one that you can hit without backsliding with nicotine. Otherwise you're going to find yourself hitting a buddy's vape loaded with 50mg nic salts or something, and you'll be back to square one.
That might help me out. I've tried to quit vaping so many times but I keep going back while drinking. I live a 2 minute walk from 2 different vape stores and disposable vapes are so easy to talk myself into buying
