So long story short I started smoking when I was in my mid-twenties and did it for about 10 years. It wasn’t until recently I switched over to vaping in a vain attempt to quit smoking. Well, it worked, I quit smoking but became totally addicted to vaping instead.
It’s so difficult to kick compared to drinking. Alcohol would make me have terrible hangovers and I’d binge so there’d be weeks at a time I’d lose to being drunk. Compared to smoking it’s nefarious, with cigs I could only smoke outside and there was only 20 to a pack, so I’d have to space it out and plan my breaks around smoking a cig.
Vaping on the other hand, you can do anytime anywhere (mostly). I’d just sit at the computer all day vaping. I even stopped playing games (my passion) just to sit and vape and disassociate.
Anyway I’m trying, again, to quit. I tried yesterday but I ended up fishing out a burnt vape from the trash and took a bunch of hits that made me gag.
So I came to a realization of sorts, my ass is fishing through nasty garbage and putting that to my mouth to get a nicotine fix. Look at how far my ass has fallen
I’ll update this post when I hit the 6 hour mark. God help me.
I was addicted to vape during the Juul days. It was just so easy to buy from nearby 711. So easy to bring to work and smoke outside, without lingering smell of cigs. At one point I was smoking 2 Juul pods a day, which is nicotine intake of 2 cig packs a day. Only managed to “quit” becaue Juul got banned and I moved to vape mods. At one time the addiction became so expensive, and I was so sick of paying for shitty leaky pods where the wick just burnt out and taste horrible I moved onto RDA type vape where you have to make the coil and the wick yourself to save money. The RDA vape was such a lifesaver, because you can’t continuously and mindlessly inhale, you have to prep the wire, wet the wick before each inhale. I managed to eventually quit because it was just too much of a hassle. So the lesson is switch to RDA vape, it worked at least for me.
