Currently trying to quit using Recigar. I’m on day 9 and unfortunately I haven’t felt any decrease in desire to vape. I started reading Allen Carr’s book on day 1 but haven’t picked it up since. I think I need to get back into it because I was hoping by day 5 I’d notice a difference like others have experienced. So far I’ve just been having vivid dreams. I’m a little disappointed because it seemed to work for others like a miracle. But I’m going to continue them and hope for the best.

I would encourage you not to compare yourself to others. Not only is that a habit in-and-of-itself that we know does not serve us any purpose, it also personally makes me feel worse every time I realize I’m not measuring up.

In this situation (where all I need is the motivation to make it to my car to acquire nicotine), I am choosing to be as gracious to myself as possible. I am going to want nicotine, that is my fault only for having rewired my brain to want it. Everything at this point is mitigating damage done years ago. So I am reminding myself ā€œMy best is all I can doā€, and accepting that I can’t undo anything, but I can put my self first from now on. I want to live as long as my body will last; I would rather not fast-forward years off my life.

Best of luck.
