I don't want to do the e-vape thing. But quitting cold turkey scares me a little.
Any advice for me? Words of encouragment? I'm all ears, and would appreciate some postive support.

1) Be 100% sure you want to quit. If you're not 100% into quitting you will fail, trust me on this. I've tried to quit in the past but was not 100% into quitting and failed every time.
2) Only way I was able to quit was to have a nicotine replacement (Nicitrol inhaler for me) and an anti-anxiety medication. That combo worked for me. I was no longer using my inhaler after 3 weeks.
3) Stay away from actives that you would normally smoke during, i.e. having a beer. Your brain will trigger your desire for a smoke.
4) I have had almost every illicit drug out there in my body at some point in time. Not bragging and not proud of that. However, cigarettes are the toughest thing I have ever quit. I was able to quit blow cold turkey easier than quitting smoking.
Hang in there and best of luck.
