Hey all,

I just moved to a new city and start a new job on July 10th. Part of the reason I lost my last job is because I took too many vape breaks. I was also very unhappy with the job, but I still do blame the addiction for how often I took breaks...

Anyway. I realize now I need to quit, and this is the perfect time. I have 7 days until I start the new job, which is a good length of time to quit. However, I keep finding excuses not to quit. For instance, I have a date today, and I don't want to be in a bad mood because I quit vaping, you know? So I say, "tomorrow." I keep saying "tomorrow." But there's always some reason not to quit.

Any advice? Something I've noticed that might empower me is to ask myself, "do I want to vape, or do I want this job--and all the benefits that come along with it?" Because that's how serious this is--I could DEFINITELY lose this new job if I don't quit, because I just want to vape all day, every day, and it's SO distracting.

What are some other tactics? What are some resources for help quitting? I have nicotine patches, gum and lozenges. I have lollipops, which may help with the craving to be "doing" something with my hands and mouth. But other than that, I'm not sure what to do mentally or physically to seriously quit this time.

Thanks for any and all advice!
