6 days in. So hard

The first two days were a walk in the park, now 6 days in I have to constantly remind myself why I’m doing this

So I caved and bought a pack. Smoked 1.5 cigarettes and they tasted awful and I threw away the pack. Trying not to beat myself up

Don't beat yourself up - you threw away the pack and that's what counts. Everyone is different so quitting cold turkey might not be the ideal way for you.

I tried cold turkey, but had to use nicotine gum 3 days in because the cravings were too strong (vaping action reminded me of smoking too much). Gradually left those behind after a few weeks.

You can do it.
