I would like to say I also come here to vent. I don't want to write a lot about good things that are still happening to me, because when I am happy, I don't need support and my internal life doesn't need venting.
When I quit the first time, I gained 66 pounds, returned to smoking again and losing this weight for several years. Well, I'm still on the nicotine vaping, but I started again with the war and hope to drop when I move away (or the war ends).
Thanks! It is really really hard, but I am doing it!!! I've lost 3 pounds so far and have another 3 pounds to lose.

That's a good point about feeling good and not feeling the need to come on here to talk about it. That's so true and I feel the same most of the time.

I thought about vaping again,.but I keep recalling the horrible cough I developed after a year of vaping that I can't bring myself to do it. It would help, but I just can't go there. I got rid of a smoker's cough I had in the last two weeks, thank goodness.
