Reciprocity

This statement is important - very important! Recognizing the benefits of quitting and focusing on them, rather than lamenting the fact you no longer smoke is what successful quitters do. Focus on your future possibilities, not you addictive past.

It's an up and down journey Gus, especially in the early days (first month or so). These ups and downs will continue for awhile but they become less and less intense as time goes by so hang in there. The magic is happening for you right now, even though you may not realize it at the moment. Trust the process and keep fighting. You're getting there, slowly but surely You're doing great and are right on track to a lifetime of freedom from this despicable addiction.

Welcome to Quit Train MWP! You're right. Joining a forum like this for support is a great help. No one knows quitting like other quitters! I don't have any experience with vaping but I know you can adjust the nicotine content so not sure what you were using there but in the end, nicotine addiction is the same no matter what the delivery device. There's a wealth of information here along with a whole library of videos addressing every aspect of nicotine addiction and quitting. Knowledge is power! You'll also have a ton of non-judgmental support here

The human body has amazing capabilities once you stop suffocating it. Continue to breath in only fresh air. That's all your lungs want and need!

In the early days for me, there were more tough days than better days (probably the first 4-6 weeks for me). There were up and down days from there on but the up days started to outnumber the down days as time passed. It all happens so slowly it's hard to discern exactly when it gets better more than not. My point is, if you hang in there for the long run (as you say Gus; making up your mind that you're done with smoking) then it will just happen for you at some point. I was reasonably comfortable with the whole quit thing after 6 weeks or so but it was probably 7 months before I really knew that I was done for good with cigarettes. That's when I started to look with pity rather than envy at others who were smoking. That's when I knew I'd really turned the corner for good. My brain finally got it .... cigarettes were my enemy - not my friend!
