I’m two months off alcohol and cocaine. Vaping is next on the chopping block.
I’m not sure where to start. I’m quitting weed right now. But then I have a really really really ducking bad caffeine problem, and a moderately bad vaping problem.
>caffeine 1000mg/day is normal sometimes more
Less than 500mg and I feel like absolute dog shit. Depressed, low energy, constantly as if I just woke up and groggy.
>vaping
I go through a disposable stick every 2-3 days. I’ve tried quitting a few times. Really bad headaches followed by bad brain fog and then horrendous mood. The moods are makes me cave, I’m mean to everyone and feel like the worlds against me.
I think once weed is gone, I’m gonna wean caffeine down to sub 500mg, wean the vaping down with timed hits, then wean caffeine to 200mg or less, then quit caffeine at that point, THEN either cold Turkey vaping (assuming a stick lasts me over a week at this point) or use the nicotine gum
I’d knock them out one at a time starting with weed since that isn’t physically addictive.. I had to knock out coke and booze at the same time because my situation was pretty dire
BREATHE AIR
>tfw addicted to dab pen
being stoned out of my mind makes the gym so much better as I swear it improves my mind-muscle connection
but it costs too much money and makes me lazy and dumb
Someday you will give it up.
It could be when you are too old and frail with days remaining in your life. Unable to breathe deep enough for normal respiration you won't be able to even take one hit. Or you can quit now, and not have this fixture in your life for the remainder of it. When you tell people you've quit you get to hear the "dang thats good on you" or "I wish my dad/mom/gf/bf/loved one would quit" or "I never could..." and you can talk about how you were able to overcome a shitty addiction.
Or be a gay and justify sucking a mouth fedora.
cope. my great grandfather was a bomber pilot in WWII and smoked cigarettes every day and lived to be 94.
with that said, vaping is much less harmful than smoking. it's just water vapor and nicotine. It does nothing except give you nicotine.
Throw away the cart.
Ask consent first
Do people actually believe that men or women are supposed to ask consent for every single sexual action that occurs between them?
Yes
I do not believe these people have ever had sex before
I bought a disposable dab pen yesterday, I don’t know why, I don’t even enjoy being high anymore. Guess that’s why they call it chasing a high, just gamble my health and productivity that I’ll have a great time while baked even though it’s very rare.
Weed vape or nicotine? Weed is super easy you just gotta get rid of any at home, started dreaming more so it made me want to give it up even more
Nic was a b***h I made a rule only to smoke on weekends,as any addict I smoked too much and started getting heart palpitations,threw it away and never bought a vape again.
That was like a year ago,although I guess i cheat since I've been buying nicotine gum to help focus during studying for like the past 2 months
Nicorette gum, anon.
Spend a day or two finding how much you need to kill the cravings, then start snapping the pieces in half every week.
When you've finally reached zero, switch up to regular gum for that oh so important oral fixation.
Why make it painful?
Seconding this, nicotine gum definite is a valuable asset in quitting. I found it to be pretty harsh at times as you can get a pretty serious head rush and some stomach uneasiness if you overdo it, but it does scratch the oral and nicotine itch and it’s pretty cheap all thing considered.
i throw away my dispos now i'm eating 6 to 9 nicotine gums per day it made me feel sick with not much of a head rush i quit vaping cold turkey before but i'll always get depressed and relapse it's easy since the gas stations sell it there
Just slice off your pp, its all a weak willed cuck simp gay like you can aspire to.
Vaping is the only way I quit smoking a pack a day. I'm cool with spending a hundred bucks for half a year of salt nic vs like 3000 dollars a year on cigs
Yeah but then how much nicotine do you get from vaping? It's cheaper but you probably vape too much
I used to chain vape 50mg nic salt for 2 years. Would not go 15m without taking a puff. Quit cold turkey by binning all of my vape stash. For 5 days it was horrible but after that easy as. 3 months strong now.
If i can do it so can you
Adding to this, buy lots of gum to distract you as vaping/smoking is orally stimulating. Get into the mindset that you will never smoke again and that the stuffs poison for you. By the end your lungs will be grateful, and so will your wallet.
Good luck anon
Yes but why would i?
It's a pretty cheap and inoffensive addiction
Nicotine wrecks your cardiovascular system
Oh actually I didn't see the 50mg part. Frick dude that's alot of nicotine, I use 15mg-25mg and take maybe 30-50 puffs a day max
get a tank you can fill with juice and taper down to 0mg nicotine. I used 0mg nicotine for a week or two to get rid of the hand to mouth habit
Look at everyone else around you vaping. Do you really want to be like them?
There's very little long term research on it. The general consensus is that its safer than tobacco, but not much is affirmatively known about the risks of vaping when you scale up to a decade. Smokeless tobaccoless products like zyna have helped me. I often wonder why they're relatively unpopular outside Europe.They're fairly cheap, totally discrete, and made with just nicotine salt and a cloth pouch.
Stop buying it.
I quit smoking cigarettes in September of 2021 and started vaping 50mg salt nics
September 2022 I switched to 25mg
This September I will drop to 10 mg
Next September I will quit (if I don't sooner)
just stop idk
realize that you look like a huge gay. either smoke ciggies or don't
Go to doctor and do a course of Varenicline (Champix) , also chew nicotine gum
Dude just breathe air. Wtf is wrong with you? Dork
oral fixation homosexual
don't think about it. just stop.
Go a week without it, then another week, then another, and another, and another....
Why would you want to? It's not nearly as destructive as smoking, drinking, drugs, eating sugar, or steroid use
this homie be sucking on a metal dick for clout lmao he ain't even getting high from it
It's hard for sure. Ultimately you're paying money to sustain an addiction that doesn't really make you feel good and it's something which has a greater power than your will, which is embarrassing. No trying to be judgemental I'm in the same boat, wish I just stuck to cigarettes.
Making a plan to slowly reduce the nicotine concentration of what you're hitting while letting yourself hit it as much as you want is probably a good strategy, so is occupying yourself during the day around people in an environment where vaping is a faux pas.
>doesn't really make you feel good
Uuuhhhhh yeah it does, I fricking love my vape. I can go without it no problem when on vacations etc but holy frick is it great getting back to blowing fat nic clouds on my couch
>something which has a greater power than your will, which is embarrassing
Embarrassing to whom? Why should I give a frick. Try and will yourself into not shitting for a month
>wish I just stuck to cigarettes.
Literally fricking why tho
Next you morons will start making threads about how wearing shoes is a sign of weak willpower.
>t.degenerate who vapes litres every year and runs 10k regularly
>wish I'd stuck to the objectively worse and more permanently destructive addiction
?
Just stop. I did it, you can do it.
Feel like shit for a couple days, feel the craving, get over it.
Break the chains that bind you. It lowers your test.
Buying disposable pens was the worst thing happened to me. I’ve lost a shit ton of money, have no motivation to workout, started eating junk food after a 5 month of savage calorie deficit, and I have a constant brain fog. At least with cigarettes I could just smoke twice per week and still do all of the above. Now I feel like my life is dependent on waping.
Frick you b***h for introducing me this poison
Vaping weed is just as bad as smoking weed
My running has gone to shit since I started vaping a few months back, I was running 5ks without stopping, now I get a pretty bad cramp after 15 minutes. So I'm back on the snus. Vaping is also way more expensive than I thought, those coils only last like a day and a half.
I'm my third day clean off vaping. It was really easy, I just used a pack of darts for 2-3 days beforehand to ween off the nicotine then went cold turkey
A lot of my friends and colleagues vape, I do not mind it
Recently my brother started vaping, and it's insufferable
I should say that my brother is a certified moron, right winger, conspiracy theorist, trump supporter etc. If you take all the low-IQ traits and put them together, you get him.
Now the problem is, my brother's vape is fricking loud. Like it wakes up the whole house if he takes a whiff. I have never heard anything like it.
I do not know if he bought the worst vape machine known to man because he is stupid, or if he just using it wrong because he is stupid. But it's pissing me off.
you are the homosexual moron, not your brother
your brother seems a good guy
some tanks have a loud haul, like the TFV series. tanks like the sakers tanks have no sound at all almost.
shame about the conspiracy shit tho, I have family who is the same way.
Op I hope you're still reading this but the key to quit vaping is actually a lot easier than you think. All you have to do is realize that you hate everything about vaping, and the only reason you do it is for nicotine. As soon as you realize that you hate everything about vaping, you will finally be able to quit. As soon as you realize that nicotine does nothing for you but relieve the 4-8hour period of withdrawal symptoms that you can barely feel anyways, you will quit cold turkey with no side effects. Read Allen Carr's easy way to quit smoking. Yo
>4-8 hours of withdrawal that you can barely feel
That's an absolute lie. It is hell if you quit cold turkey. It's all you think about. Your mood sucks. Everything sucks.
The only way I managed to quit was use 2mg on! pouches until I got used to that nicotine level, then habitrol 1mg mints, then cold turkey. Even THEN on 1mg it still sucked for at least a week. Nicotine is a fricking b***h
>TFW almost everyone at my job smokes/vapes/dips and drinks
>I don't
I don't rub it in their face but it makes me feel way better about myself, and some people are like "You don't drink or smoke? OMG" and I just wanna be like "Yeah frick you too." Just had a crackhead homeless guy standing outside the grocery store ask me if he could "buy a cigarette" and he was asking everyone that, disgusting.
Honestly, from personal experience I do not recommend lower nicotine levels. It just prolongs the pain. I quit cold turkey at 50mg nic salts and it sucked for a few days and then you're done for life as long as you're not a pussy.
Agreed, lowering nicotine dosage only made me vape more without thinking to counteract the use of higher mg nic salt. Cold turkey is the way. Looking back, i realise the idea of starting to quit vaping was much worse than going through the process of quitting, as the nicotine is literally trying to convince your brain that you need it.
check out the allen carr method. the reason you vape is to feel like someone who doesn't vape. essentially, you do it to briefly alleviate the nicotine cravings until they kick in again in a few minutes. it doesn't actually relieve your stress, it just briefly soothes your cravings for nicotine that a non-vaper will never experience.
when you stop vaping, you are killing the nicotine receptors in your brain, causing withdrawals and cravings. it helped me to realize that nicotine withdrawals don't really hurt, they just cause a kind of empty feeling for a few minutes and go away. in the end it's a mental game.
https://allencarr.com.au/allen-carrs-method/
The problem is that the allen carr method tries to convince you that nicotine has zero benefits. It's not honest at all. The biggest benefit of nicotine by FAR is the appetite suppression. Not only does the act of smoking/vaping provide a good calorie-free substitute for the act of eating/drinking a snack, but the drug itself lowers overall hunger levels. Also there are social aspects to smoking / taking a smoke break with coworkers and or friends.
I have quit nicotine before for a few months. It does not get any better. It just gets worse and worse. I remember one time I had quit for around 40 days and was driving in the sunset on a summer evening. It was absolutely beautiful outside. I became so fricking angry that I couldn't enjoy a nice vape or cigarette on such a beautiful evening it ruined my entire day and appreciation of the sunset completely.
Can confirm nicotine is great for cutting
this entire post is cope, literally a you problem
when you finally see this perhaps you'll understand what is meant by "It's a mental game"
ok marlboro man
Yeah the problem is that it is a mental game that doesn't end. The method promises once you get past the addiction you won't even feel you need it anymore which is bullshit. This is why people relapse all the time with drugs. Once you've experienced the drug long enough, you know what it is like and you have to have strong willpower for the rest of your life to never give in again.
I have this issue with alcohol. I keep saying I'm quitting and I quit for a while but it always ends up just being a tolerance break and then I'm back to 14 shots a day
Why would I want to quit exactly?
My lungs feel great and it's cheap. There's barely any nicotine, I just like the menthol flavor. Could go no nicotine and likely not notice
I suppose it could be bad for my teeth and gums but legitimately everything is outside of water and fluoride
I gave up vaping because it kept my heart rate at a constant 90+ bpm all day.
Now it sits at low 70s.
If you need something for the oral fixation, just ask your gf if you can eat her pussy.
Or you can suck a dick homosexual.
I was able to quit cold turkey and become closer with my boyfriend with this technique.
>people ITT acting like vaping is fricking heroin
Jesus Christ what is wrong with zoomers? Are the new D.a.r.e campaigns really this effective?
Patches
It is easier than you think to quit. What is 5 days of withdrawal hell to you compared to a lifetime of being smoke/vape free afterwards? There's some great advice in here anon I suggest you consider using them. Good luck
I have never felt the need to try nicotine in any of its forms (vape, cigs, snus, etc), never enjoyed drinking alcohol or smoking weed.
I truly wonder what makes a man want to start consuming such products knowing perfectly well the very probable consequences of developing an addiction to it.
Is it youth stupidity? Lack of self control? Normie mind?
It feels really good man. If I could take adderall and suck on nicotine pouches with no consequences, I would. It makes everything better. Feels great after sex, after eating, after lifting. I'm over a week clean now and I still think about it. Now I know how crack addicts feel.
Go back in time and stop yourself from vaping in the first place.
What’s that? Time travel isn’t possible?
Maybe you should’ve fricking listened to the adults instead of your moron peers lol.
if you're actually diagnosed schizophrenic you basically need nicotine, it helps with the symptoms.
