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 sadness

I’ll update this post when I hit the 6 hour mark. God help me.

    I’ve quit vaping cold turkey for a couple years at a time twice. Ended up getting readdicted when I decided to get really drunk and people were smoking cigs around me. Currently like 2 months into this current relapse and I think I’ll try to quit again after this disposable bullshit runs out.

    Both times I quit, it required chewing like insane amounts of gum for a couple of months until the intense need went away. I still can’t watch someone smoke, even in a tv show, without feeling this clawing need to take an inhale from the back of my throat.
