Back on my bullshit, quitting, again. This time I called my 1-800 quit line and ordered the patch to help. But it's so ass backwards their shipping is 7-14 days usps. So with that logic by the time I get the patch the cravings will have stopped since they normally subside by day 4 or 5, fucking stupid.

I'm in a bad mood and want a smoke.

*edit: wow I'm really in a bad fucking mood, like I want to fight someone. Being sober fucking sucks.

    Have you tried vaping? Weirdly it helped me quit even though I only switched so I could "smoke" indoors lol. It was a good substitute at first, but over time I got tired of certain things about it (taste wasn't as good, it lacks the "rituals" of smoking, getting to "smoke" indoors meant I did it more and got nicotine poisoning headaches somewhat regularly) and when I ended up quitting vaping, I didn't feel a need to go back to cigarettes.

        I was gonna say the same. Some can use vaping to quit but i just switched to smoking my vape all day. while vaping kicks the shit out of smoking in terms of stinkiness i have no faith in the safety of these vapes. My lungs feel worse than with og baccy.

        Have you ever quit before? My longest stint was for 7 years before relapse

          I did 20 days before, and before that I had a month. So it feels like a month is the best so far.

            First couple of months are the shittiest. Won't lie, probably 2-3 before i wasnt getting that empty feeling in my throat, that craving for the burn. But if you get past that part it really does get easier i swear. Not easy but i swear not as bad as what you're going thru rn.

            Youve got one down mate, you can do it. Ill cheer for your success

        idk what it's like where you are but here you have to buy little shots of nicotine and then nicotine-free juice (where the flavour is), then mix them yourself. the way i quit was i slowly reduced the amount of nicotine i put into the juice over time, so i got the sensation of vaping but i was lowering the nicotine levels
