Day 3 - Rollarcoaster
I’ve been wanting to quit for a while. But ‘never got around to it’.
Welp, the universe had different plans. I went from picking up my vape every 5-45 minutes every hour of every day for 4 years straight, to getting an emergency dental surgery that resulted in me not being able vape or smoke or chew nicotine gum after.
I immediately went to the store and got the patch. It’s the 14mg one (they were out of step 1).
I’m in day 3 of no vaping and the patch, and it feels worse and worse every day. At some points my dopamine crashes so hard that I feel like I won’t be happy again. I know that sounds silly, and logical me knows my chemicals are rewiring, but I need some support and advice.
What day did it start to calm down for you?
What strategies did you use?
I’ve been combing this subreddit, but I thought a direct post may help. Thank you for your time and thoughts!!
