   Here's what I did to get rid of my nicotine addiction (vaping):

   - Gradually lower the strength of my liquid until it was at the minimum.

   - Stop all vaping and switch to nicotine gum

   - Gradually increase the time between each gum

   - Stop the gum altogether

   This process took probably 3 months and tbh it was pretty miserable the whole time. It's 100% worth it tho, You don't realize how much it controls your life until you stop. You will also still get random cravings for a year or two afterwards, Heck it's been 4 years and I still sometimes get dreams where I'm vaping.

      Stopped smoking cold turkey when my first daughter was born.

      For the first year I wanted a cigarette every fucking day.

      Years later, I still had dreams where I would light up…

      20+ years on, a distant memory.
