I posted this over on vices but realized it fits here too! Celebrating 4 years vape free this year. It is a tough road and addiction sticks with you.
Some things that really helped me, in case anyone else is struggling out there!
Replacing the habit is a big part of it for me.
-I used jolly ranchers and sun flower seeds to get over the oral fixation. Sunflower seeds have a complex enough process that it really hits that oral fixation
-Deep breathing exercises to help get that anxiety relief. When vaping I would take deep hits and breathing exercises help replicate while still getting the anxiety regulation.
-Therapy: helped me handle those waves of cravings. This is an obvious one but an outside perspective gave me the strategy of really recognizing the craving, denying, and feeling it disappear overtime. Very intentionally.
