[bel]

oh my god, thought i was doing so well on the e-cigs but today i feel horrible, im so moody lol but im not going to give in noway iv come to far for that. Is it normal to have these set backs?? and how long is it going to last ??? i feel like i just want to have a good cry >

((( Bel )))

Don't put yourself under any pressure not to have a ciggie, it's bound to take your body a wee time to adjust. . . . so if having a couple helps, then do. Tomorrow is another day.

[bel]

I couldn't do that it would disapoint my husband to much, and i really dont want one, im loving my e-cig! I just hate feeling like this, im like a bubbling volcano plus my daughters away on holiday and im missing her so much :-[ plus side my tornado arrived 2day so im vaping on that 2nite!!

[Scylla]

Ah, so you're up against a combo of downers {{{Bel}}} deepest sympathy.

Can you think of anything to treat yourself with? Oops, that just reminded me that I have ice-cream in the freezer *smacks self*

They do say "This too shall pass" - trite but true

scylla x

Bel, I can promise you that the way you're feeling will pass; if it hasn't already. Your feelings aren't facts; try to distance yourself a little from those feelings.

It's good you're posting about it too; that should take the power out of some of those feelings. You could also have a chat with your hubby; just explain how you're feeling (though him being a bloke like me, we're not great listeners; we're 'fixers' and he'll probably give you similar advice to what I am; LOL). But talking helps.

And you're doing great; a deeply grooved habit like smoking isn't easy to shake; tell me about it!

Just take it a minute at a time if need be. It will pass. Everything passes; it's called the Law of Impermanence.

yeah i guess i am scylla lol!! mmm im more of a chocolate girl, and a lovely bubble bath sounds rather tempting x

[bel]

Thanks tosh, giving up those darn cancer sticks really sucks, but with the help of vaping im really going to do it this time!! Hubbys being really good bless him, and i dont want to take my temper out on him, he's been warned to jus let me be 2nite lol x

Sounds like you may need to increase your nic level, at least for a short while.

[shamreez]

dont try to stress yourself...
As perpy told if you feel that bad just have one cig as you have tomorrow.

When I started vaping I used to have 4 - 5 cig a day plus vaping (I was 20+ a day smoker for 10+ years)

Than once I started loving vaping I did not even know how I was reducing the cigerettes and suddenly one day I found out that I was not smoking anymore nor did I have any cravings to smoke

So you just take your time and just up the nicotine content a little more as jason told...

And before you know it you would be out of cig..

I am sure your hubby would understand you...

I'm not completely analogue free yet. I'm pretty close down from 15-20 a day to 2 and I did manage a full 24 hours without it. Knowing that I can have one and i'm not a failure if I have one makes it easier for me as there isn't that pressure there. I see this as an alternative to smoking and this is my transitional phase.

[AndnAnge]

Good luck to you both and must say cutting down from 15-20 and having 2 is a result, ask yourself would you have ever imagined that a few months ago?

Think you should both be proud

[hissie]

Yup this is just a cleaner alternative to smoking. It isn't nictotine replacement, so having analogs as well dosen't make you a failure.

At least you are giving it a try, some people I know just won't give up the analogs at all even after trying my Riva.

I guess, in some respects, it's a preference thing. I now couldn't look at smoking again, but one of my friends couldn't look at vaping..so it's horses for courses.

[bel]

feeling abit better jus had a nice bath and about to tuck into a bag of maltesers lol loving my new tornado!! im going to be strong this is something i need to do, if i want to be around to see my grandchildren

Thanks everyone x

Keep at it Bel, you're doing great. You'll get tough days but don't feel guilty or stressed about it. If you have to have a ciggy have one.

My other half smokes and vapes. She is smoking far less than she used to and I'm proud of her for even sticking with the vaping. She's just doing it all in her own time, no need to pressure herself.

I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

[Chrissie]

I also hope tomorrow is a better day for you (((Bel)))

I know you don't want to upset your husband, but do try not to put yourself under any pressure.
Also as Jason says, it may help if you up your nic level.
