It’s been 18 days now, however I still feel awful and I don’t feel like I’m the same person anymore and it’s scaring me. I am not enjoying anything anymore, I still get cravings. I just miss being able to enjoy all my hobbies and listening to music, I can’t enjoy anything at all! I also don’t feel any benefits of quitting vaping. Am I supposed to after 18 days? Because my mood is even worse.

I don't think there's a timeline for when you will start to feel normal again; I think everyone experiences it differently. The nicotine dependence disappears after a few days but the psychological effects keep on going for a while. Did you quit cold turkey 18 days ago?

Hang in there it will get better. Once through the first month, you will be fine. The other thing is think about the things that triggered your smoking on a daily bases. Such as coffee and a smoke first thing. Have your coffees, at different times and in places here you cannot smoke. Keep away from the pub. It will be down-hill after a month. I am 3 and a half years without a cigerette its great. Oh the other thing you will smell much better and so will the place you are staying. because you are still craving its a little hard to enjoy the benefits, but you have achieved a lot.
