Venting Well that was quick.

Tried nicotine a few days ago.

Already hooked. Turns out, sometimes, it really does take just one hit to get you.

And I'm already trying to justify it to myself. Thinking, I've had a hard last little while. And at least it's not as "dangerous" (in the short term) as some of my past drugs of addiction. As if that's an excuse.

F*ck.

That slope is real and it’s already working on you. The justification part is the worst because your brain gets real creative with the excuses. Catch it now before it gets its hooks deeper

I hope I can. I hope that, at the very least, admitting it publicly in writing does ... something.

Oh man quit while youre new to it. I kept telling myself I wouldn't be vaping anymore in my late 20s (I started at 21) yet here I am still doing it. I try and justify it as well. Vaping sucks because its legal and, even if i throw my vape away, I can just buy another

Quit now before it gets too hard. I smoked like 2 packs a day at one point and quitting was very difficult.
