Here it is 2 months !! I have a strange question?
stzr500 posted a topic in Quit Smoking Discussions
Well it's about 2 months and feeling better. Been down this road before but this time with a vape instead of smoking. I did it for 2 years but 2 years to many. I just want to throw something out there, a question if I an nuts or just what is going on. Since my newly and last quit seriously, I have had days of memories I have not thought of in over years, some memories I totally forgot about my entire life and bam, it hits me. I feel like I just dusted off the hard drive in my head again. I will admit it's flashbacks of my life give or take but not all are pleasant dug up memories. Very strange thing if you ask me. Also onto something real quick. Anyone here using a vape or trying to quit who used a vape, mainly Vuse or other devices that have 5.0%. I strongly recommend stepping down if you are quitting. Cold turkey from a 5.0 % is 50mg of straight up nicotine. The highest you can get which is what I was using then stepped down to a 2.4%, which is still ridiculously high. When I smoked I smoked ultra lights until I quit those. Anyway about the vaping, straight up nicotine without any of the ungodly about of other chemicals. Withdraw and cravings were beyond the gates of hell. I am not joking on that. I shocked my system so bad I went into this thing called derealization which scared the life out of me and lead to panic attacks. I am two months in and finally gradually staying landed for most of the day. My sleep was horrible, depression was was so bad that I honestly have learned my lesson. I will not pick up nicotine again the withdraw truly does scare me that much that I am afraid of it. Anyway enough of my rant. God bless to all who threw the crutch away !! Believe in yourself, you can do this. Those who are on the fence, dive in both feet and hang on. Just remember the good Lord always promised he is with you, never said he wouldn't let bad things happen but he is always by your side !! -

A Woo Hoo from me as well! As I've told many other quitters, the human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself if we stop smoking.
