2nd week hurdles

Posted in Quit experiences
schedule 20 Jun 2026

So... Sunday 7th June was the big day hubby and i finished our last vape.

I work from home (the office is in Sydney and i live in Central West NSW) So most days its just me and my computer so i would vape at my desk while working. The first week was tough but i managed it. 

Day 10 hit and i broke down. Couldnt control a single thought or emotion. I snapped at everyone and cried myself to sleep that night, but i didnt vape. I went out and bought patches, many bags of sour lollies and thought tomorrow is a new day. We can do this.

I struggled through each work day after that. I woke up this morning in a very sad/stressed mood which was hard to shake. Hubby even sat me down and explained how worried he was for my mental health. We drove for hours today trying to find someone who had a vape we could buy. None around anywhere and cigarettes make me feel ill these days so i cant find the relief im looking for there. This week has been harder than the first and so very hard to see the light at the end of the really long tunnel.
