Dude I tried quitting coffee several times because (TMI warning) between that and the booze I had a mild case of hemorrhoids on top of the damage it was doing to my nervous system and mood. I failed. Guaranteed the second toughest drug to quit after alcohol (which I couldn't quit yet) and it's all because of how heavy caffeine withdrawal is. Can't work or function without it. I've been trying to replace coffee with green tea at least because it's softer but still. That's a substance I'd like to quit.
It's not cheating if you're using the vape to soften the blow of dropping nicotine. This shit is both physically and mentally addictive and most people ween off rather than go cold turkey. My dad was using this chewing gum that relieves symptoms, off the pharmacy. Still he relapsed recently. It's a journey, and it's ok to lose sometimes as long as you don't stop going.
Honestly the ego trap is what screws me the most. I've been working hard in trying to welcome bad feelings rather than dwell in them. That's the uphill battle for me, because the fucking depression is the trigger to everything else. I got a few months of freedom before this weekend and honestly I'll take that as a win.
