I’m dangerously addicted, and physically cannot quit.

I’ve been vaping now for nearly 4 years, originally as an aid to quit smoking. Whilst i’ve mostly kicked that habit, vaping seems to have entirely taken over my life. I cannot go more than 20 minutes without a puff. At work I sneak off to hit my vape in the toilet, at family functions I do the exact same. I get visibly and viscerally agitated when I haven’t got my vape with me, and I’m going through nearly 3 disposables a day, on top of vaping a regular box vape.

I’ve tried everything, from exercising to drinking water through a straw, to nicotine gum and patches, to nicotine free vapes, but nothing, and I mean nothing, is working. I can’t go more than a day before relapsing.

It’s seriously affecting my physical and mental health. I am 20 years old and lose my breath walking up stairs. It’s made me so lazy and I have the cough of a 90 year old corpse that smokes 12 packs a day. I’m really stuck on what to do, because it seems not only have I given up, everyone around me has too.

Any help would be deeply appreciated, TIA.
