I am disappointed that there is no site that I can find besides this one dedicated to discussions on how to deal with this. Alcoholics have support. Drug users have support. However, the addiction I am dealing with does not. So many reasons why if one is as cynical as I am.

Thank you, Penguin. I'm not interested in being judged but if others think I'm not quitting right, well, that's ok too. I'm way too old to give a thought about what anyone thinks. Personally, I will be supportive of anyone who finds a way out! I'm truly working on it and I really appreciate your support.

Posted here about 9 days ago. Haven't had a cigarette but I think about it every 10 minutes! I started vaping and it is my salvation. I don't know if that's acceptable but it has been the beginning of my way out after 50+ years of smoking.

I had a terrible event of breathlessness and anxiety that I never experienced before. It made me realize that this old lady had better quit! I was sucking down nicotine losenges and that just wasn't doing it. I went to a well reviewed vape shop and OMG, met a person who understood and helped. Just starting on my journey but I'm not longer terrified.
