The second time around

I quit back in late 2023 for a good few months until early 2024. I started a new job, a high stress focus heavy environment. The first time I quit because of my partners dread and disgust of me vaping. The problem was that I didn’t do it for me, I never considered the health risk and effects that it has on yourself! As an unmediated adhd bloke it’s very hard to focus and the vape was just a Band-Aid for a long term solution that I need to figure out, study methods etc. second time around I’m not going cold turkey, I’m signing up here, posting my story and going on patches and gum. I’ve got this and so do you! We will win!!!!

You can do this . Sounds like you learned a lot that can help you this quit . Much success to you . Looking forward to reading your updates .

Was a cigarette smoker for years and stopped a year ago but now vape and trying to give it up, finding it hard to do.
I have encouragement from family and friends but it's really hard for me to stop, easier said than done...
Any advice welcome, trying to go cold Turkey.
Tried nicotine gum but it was too strong and I don't think I can do the patches either.
I want to stop for good now.

I think that you are in the right frame of mind this time Chief888. No one can quilt us or pressure us into a PERMANENT QUIT . If you are not happy with the DECISION that YOU made, you will not be happy with it! It will not STICK.
Keep thinking as positive about it as you are and you will succeed.
