That’s cool man. My urges aren’t usually strong when I’m not stressed out. Being free of vaping/cigs is a real positive. It just when I get upset that I want to use more nicotine.

Funny thing is if I go through the pain of withdrawal now I won’t really have to go through years of pain caused by lung and heart problems not to mention the cost plus the chains of addiction. Like everything…the bad is easy to get and cost you a lot the good is hard but worth it in the long run I think.

I choose the good bro

That’s awesome lekkerhondje… that’s what I did last time. Before my illness I quit cold turkey for 5 years then started back because of stress. Then I quit again last year but had a breakdown and started back. I made it 7 months or Soo… this time it felt really different… I felt like I would die if I didn’t have my vape lol that wasn’t true.

Some people put on two patches at once if they are heavily addicted. I dont really like patches. Burns my skin. 4mg nic gum works well for me. Or mouth spray. Good luck! I need to finally quit it again too.
