You aren't trying, you are quitting today 🦾
It’s the past failures that have be confused, but I really really want this and gave all my shit to my husband so I have no access

Well it is true if you’re only counting the last hour😂 technically I already quit, but I just ate and am triggered 🫂
😂
You got this.
I better. I don’t wanna be back here next week with my tail between my legs again
None of us want that.

read this. I read his stop drinking alcohol book, and I have successfully quit drinking for 2 years and 3 months so far.
I tried 3~5 times before, failed every time, longest was 2 months.
I have that 🫂😂 will try again
only quitters quit
There was a large portion of your life where you didn’t need nicotine because you never experienced nicotine. You don’t need it now either. Your brain is telling you that you do, but you didn’t before, and you don’t now. A battle against yourself that you can 100% win if you choose to. Worth the pursuit. You can do it.
Isn’t that wild? I’ve been smoking and or vaping for so long I’ve like forgotten what it felt like. The cravings are intense
They are really really intense and I’ve seen many friends struggle with the juul back in the day.
But you can do it. It sounds like you’ve tried before. Keep picking yourself up. You have to master one hour at a time, not 10 years all at once. Developing small wins gives you momentum so you aren’t demoralized at such an enormous challenge. You’ll cave a bunch of times but please remember this:
If you hit your vape 100 times a day, 99 times tomorrow is progress. 1% better a day. If you take 1 less hit a day, you’re 33% better by the end of the month. If your aim is to truly quit, you must create robust sustainable solutions to aid you along the way.. Small achievable steps. You can do it! Sorry for the shpiel but self-improvement is real important to me.
Kind of needed to hear this. Yesterday I had like 3 mini relapses, but technically I still reduced my intake by like 95% so I’m just gonna continue trying to beat yesterdays’ score ya know? 🫂
Break out the beads!!! Idle hands and whatnot 🫂🫂
Yeah I’m gonna shower and get heading. Also gonna see wicked today so that will be rad
Would love to know what you think of it! Saw it before Xmas and was interesting. Somehow not what I expected but I liked it
I loveeeeed it. Cried and sang the whole time. It was definitely different from the original which I remember seeing live back in the day, but still awesome.
Ooo enjoy!
I’ve quit a lot of things in my life. Drinking. Gambling. Nicotine. Nicotine was by far the hardest. After 20 years of dipping, it was about as natural to me as breathing. It is SO freeing to not be a slave to my next nicotine fix. I actually had to use AA principles to actually do it. But it is doable. And worth it. Good luck.
Yup. I’ve quit a lot of harder things and spent a lot of time in the N.A. and AA rooms, but nicotine is next level. I basically need a straight jacket 😂🫂
Awesome move! As an ex smoker myself I'll say quitting was one of the best decisions of my life (though starting was probably one of the worst so I guess it balances out lol). Remember you have never and will never "need" nicotine. It's just a lie our addicted minds tell us. We never needed nicotine before we started.
A book I read that I give all the credit for me quitting puts it like this: "The only reason a smoker smokes is to feel again like a non-smoker." We smoke to feel briefly "normal" but it only puts us in a vicious cycle.
I logically understand this pretty well. My impulsive more Darwinian self still has trouble 😂🫂
I'm not trying 🍷
Tehehe must be nice. I’m gonna be a healthy ass bitch before you know itttt
You can do it!!
Don’t try today
Buy this book instead
When you feel like having one, remember a reason why you quit and break it in half
how's it going over there?
