Quitting experience

I tried to quit on Tuesday. A few days before my vape died I decided I wasn’t going to buy a new one because I was sick of feeling anxious and dependent on my vape. I was going cold turkey. Day 1 was ok because me and my partner took a road trip so I had something to take my kind off it. Day 2 was a little bit harder as I was at work and work in fast food. It was an unusually busy day so I was stressed and the noise of all the machines created a sensory overload. Day 3 was probably the worst. I didn’t have work or much to do so I was sitting there bored. I decided to create a workout plan and meal plan for next week to take my mind off it. I went and cleaned out my car and found all my dead vapes and threw them in the bin. Everything was alright for a few hours but then me and my partner went out to dinner and I got so angry over the slightest thing and stopped talking to him. My temper was short, and he didn’t talk to me for the rest of the night. Day 4 was ok in the morning. I had work so that made me busy. But then I got home and saw my partner which made my mood foul. On my way to work I stopped at the vape shop and picked up a vape. I felt so disgusted and annoyed at myself, which culminated in me yelling at a few people at work, which I don’t usually do. I think my downfall was not having anything to replace it. When I restart my quitting journey tomorrow I’ll be sure to have a replacement.
