hi, this might be the 3rd thread I started. One was about fasttech where I got my kangertech subvod c's, the second was about coughing from the vaporizer, which I learned I was vaping too high of a nic level, and also needed max vg, then my bf's o ring on his subvod got cut in half when he changed the coil. Well, I just reordered and received and brand new subvod c cuz we think his was a lemon, and it was only $4 more to buy a whole new device rather than just a tank, plus we now have an extra battery.
Anyway. So it's two weeks in with the vapes, my bf is down to 1-2 cigs a day and doing great. I on the other hand am dying. Not literally. But my body get physically hot and sweaty, my blood boils and I obsessively think about smoking when it's been a few hours since I've had a real cig. Thing is, I know I'm not having nicotine withdrawal cuz of my vaporizer, so this all must be psychological. But I am terrified to run out of cigs. We have 7 packs left in the carton we were going to go thru and plan to never replace.
I am bipolar, I have BPD, PTSD, agoraphobia, and have a severe anxiety and panic disorder, I also have a (((very))) addictive personality. Cigarettes have been my stress ball, my excuse to step away from stress, the best friend that never criticizes me for 24 years. I have a huge psychological thing for everything about cigarettes and I'm so afraid to let go of them.
So here I am, I know many of you have found success in quitting via vaping and I want to get where you are. I mentioned this in my first post here, but I'm also on a fixed income so quitting would make a huge difference in my life financially. I'm here looking for advice, encouragement, tips for gaining the strength and motivation to let go of my cig habit. Right now I'm still smoking 8-10 cigs a day from 1 1/2 packs. But I really can't afford to vape AND smoke in future. Please help. TIA
P.s. The photo is of a rock I'm gifting my bf's dad of his 57' chevy, my kangertech subvod c, & a 120 mil bottle of Lucky Devil 6mg nic, banana marshmallow e juice that a kind person sent me on his dime when he found out I bought 24mg nic 80pg/20vg juice. It's very tasty and I plan to buy from him in future.
