Vaping/Smoking and porn

I quit smoking recently and it was vaping that did it. I used juices with nicotene at first, then zero nicotene, and now I don't really vape even.
Trick yourself into giving up! But I do think porn (and obviously drugs) are far worse than vaping. At the moment, vaping is seen by UK health authorities as something like 90% less harmful than smoking.
You're doing ok.

 

Hey Goodluck, great that you're committing to this positive change. Does your wife know that you still watch porn? Or you've kept that secret? I think it makes sense not to quit them all at the same time because it could be crazy difficult, but also if you have associated porn with so strongly and then now associated it with vaping, whenever you do one you will feel like the other. So maybe it's the only way.

In terms of relationship stability, it sounds like your wife thinks the crack is the main worry, so I think you giving up the vape (even though yeah I don't think vaping is that bad, and doesn't gateway to crack as far as I've seen), would be super nice for her.

I honestly think you can quit it all simultaneously. It would be fucking hard, but just do a tonne of exercise, and worship that wife of yours, focus all that sexual energy onto her in a way she's never experienced.

Just my thoughts

 

1 addiction at a time man.

I say quit the porn first, since that's the addiction you really tend to hide.

It's not easy to quit any addiction so most definitely don't try quitting 2 at once. This isn't advice I want to give tbh but it's the only practical answer to this situation.

Have faith in yourself and recover. One step at a time.

 

Do you smoke weed or tobacco?

Regardless of that in my case I stopped smoking weed the same day I stop porn because it went hand in hand and it was 10x more addictive.

I also stopped smoking tobacco that same day because tobacco made me anxious and was a trigger for weed and porn, and generally for my bad habits.

I also stopped coffee the same day. Because coffee made me very stressed and anxious, so that was leading me to cigarettes then to weed then to porn.

 

I'd do what you suggested and quit the porn first and then turn to quitting the vape. I feel like after a certain amount of time with no PMO you will feel a lot more motivated to quit the vape. I used to drink quite heavily and after 30 days of no PMO i got a huge burst of motivation to quit drinking too, and I did. One step at a time and wish you luck!

 

Vaping is better than smoking
