    That is the best way for the transition. I clearly wouldn’t have an issue with that kind of vaper because they’re not ripping fat ones in my face and instead trying to better themselves. Like you did. You should be proud, I can’t imagine it’s that easy to get off of an addiction.

      Thanks, I AM kinda proud of it, heh. Like all addiction, though, you can’t do it before you’re ready and have the exact kind of help you need.

      About a month after I quit smoking with the help of vapes, I quit drinking with the help of a one week anxiety medication regimen my GP prescribed for the mental withdrawals (in spite of being a way too heavy drinker for many years, I was lucky enough to never get physical withdrawals).

      With alcohol, I had tried a few different kinds of counseling, trying to force myself not to drink and even being forced to take antabus which can make you really sick if you drink on it, but all of it was either bad timing, a bad method for me or both.

      Sorry if that was too much of a tangent lol, I can tend to veer verbose a bit at times 😁
