Day 0.5 quitting vaping - tips?

Hi guys! i’m brooke. brand new to the community as i threw my vape in the garbage about 2 hours ago. since then, i’ve searched for encouraging videos aiding in abstinence from nicotine, and i found dr. frank. I’ve cried 3 times already. im scared. i’ve smoked for 10+ years now, started at 13. picked up vaping opposed to cigarettes at 16. just turned 26 in june.

im worried for my physical & mental health, future, discipline, and ability to form new habits. ive never had success. i know i can accomplish quitting if i remain steadfast in my purpose. i will try reminding myself daily but ive always succumbed to urges. the boost of energy from this community will help my willingness to commit. i need extra confidence in my decision as each craving waves through me.

i am afraid of going back as i have done time and time again in the past. i truly need support. i also suffer from consistent anxiety, hypochondria, and panic attacks at times. i’m worried that my fear of experiencing discomfort will launch me back into self-soothing with nicotine, the worst coping possible.

for context, i am one of those people that have their vape in hand 24/7, like im missing a limb without it. i am used to hitting it in restaurants, in the bathroom at work, before during and after a meal, all night in bed. dont workout because my lungs/heart cant keep up. i’ve tarnished my temple and im so used to it. im more familiar with sucking vapor than breathing air.

words of encouragement, motivation, tips & tricks are direly needed. please help me along this journey, as i am so grateful to have found a community of like-minded folks to inspire this change. thank you guys for doing what’s best for your bodies, and reminding me that im not alone on my first leg of this journey.

thank you if you read this. <3 and thank you immensely if you reply with any affirmations. <3
