Im 16 years old. I’ve been addicted to nicotine or marijuana on and off for the last year and I’m trying to quit. Im still very early in this process but I’m determined. My only worry is that my stress and anxiety can get the best of me. I’m scared I might say yes if the cravings don’t get better.

Hi! How is it going so far? It can help to learn a bunch of alternatives to managing stress/anxiety in the moment. So that you have other options to use immediately, that helps take away that need to use your drug.

Also know your triggers and be mindful of your environment. If you are going to choose to put yourself in a place where there is vaping you may need extra support in place to cope.

Also be kind to yourself, and to the parts of yourself that want to vape. They are just trying to keep you safe and happy, maybe by reducing anxiety or by fitting in socially. Thank that part of yourself and help it to find healthier options. 💛
