Giving up vaping

I'm just posting here to give myself a pat on the back for giving up vaping!
I can't speak to anyone in real life, as my husband didn't even know I'd taken up vaping (!), and I'm not shouting it from the rooftops at work, as I know first hand how hard it is to give up, and I don't want to upset any of my colleagues. But... After two years of vaping, I've finally been vape free for over a week, and I'm so stupidly proud of myself as I felt I'd never be able to stop. I've never been a smoker, and in all honesty can't even remember how and why I started vaping, but it quickly became an addiction, and I ended up buying one of the damn things almost daily, so I'm really pleased I've managed to stop, and am adamant I will never buy one again. I've been transferring £5 a day (roughly what I was spending) into a savings account, so I can see the money I'm saving, and give myself a little smile each day I see the figure go up. Hooray!

Keep going! I honestly thought I couldn't live without it, and felt I'd achieved something if I got through a few hours without, felt I was always thinking about it, which is so sad and depressing. Now, it literally doesn't cross my mind, I feel far more focused, and so happy it's finally gone. I found the second and third day the hardest, so just try and keep yourself distracted. And reward yourself with a nice treat if you get through today. X
