I made it a week then events with Trump trying to cut medicaid sent me into a doom spiral and I relapsed. So I’m looking to try and beat a week this time. I really need to figure out how to manage my emotions when I hit a bump in the road, like the medicare thing, without quickly regressing backwards.

So far the worst thing about quitting vaping is the really vivid dreams as my brain adjusts. According to google these can last for almost two months and that makes me depressed. Sleep is one of the few joys I have in my life and I like to do it, so having it get interrupted because my brain is adjusting to being chemical free sucks.

    I don’t have any advice to soften the psycho/emotional impacts but recognizing them when they happen seems a good first step. Best wishes with your continued journey

    Thanks for the support and knowing the dreams don’t stay vivid for all that long is reassuring!
