I'm quitting vaping and it's got me struggling

Hey so i recently, like two days ago got the flu and was feeling absolutely awful. I had read somewhere a tip for quitting vaping was to wait until you’re sick. And ill be honest, day one with a fever of 102.8, i really didnt feel like hitting it. I really couldnt discerne if my headache was from withdrawl or the sickness so that helped, and i havent been grumpy. But now that my sickness has receeded a bit, oh boy. Im really having a hard time, especially driving. I just get this need to have the chest feeling, and im gonna be honest an appeal was how the vape smoke looked. Im struggling so bad i could cry. It’s not physical pain, im not nauseated or headachy or grumpy, im just struggling so hard with not hitting it. I know it worsens some medical conditions i have and ive been vaping for 5 years, which is embarassing. But dude, day two is kicking me.

Hey I have also quit Vaping, today being my first day without. I was on a pretty low nicotine level the last few months so the cravings haven’t been as bad as when I quit smoking. But I’ve had a headache pretty much all day and actually feel like crap but I think that’s because of some meds I took rather than the vaping but not sure. For me I try to use chewing gum or snacking on something healthy like raw carrots as I feel like I need to have something in my mouth. Had some little cravings throughout the day and just trying to ride them out as I know they get less as time goes on! Stay strong, we can do this! :muscle:t2:
