I've been having a wobbly today

[vapourized]

For the first time since not smoking (10th Sept) I've been doing really well with no temptations of a fag but this morning is all of sudden proving a little difficult, I don't why today but the feeling to smoke has been overwhelming.

I went out to the shops this lunchtime with a half intention to buy some, on the way there I was pulling on my Riva like it was going out of fashion to try and distract myself from this feeling and get some nicotine into me (I don't vape at work). Got to the supermarket and parked up and stood next to the cigarette counter but turn around and went to the sweet section and bought a double Whispa then a huge Cheese baguette, a packet of cheese and onion crisps, a paclet of chocolate Hob nobs and a double packet of Ginger Nuts. I've been back about 20 minutes and had another vape on the journey back.

Most of the food has gone and so has a lot of the urge to smoke - that was a really horrible experience and I didn't like it one bit. The company I work for is extremely anti smoking and I'm pretty sure that they would not understand about Vaping so I shall be visiting the toilet quite a bit this afternoon because I think I'm trying to go too long without anything.

All that food by the way cost just over half the price of a packet of JPS which I was so tempted to buy - I'm glad I resisted the temptation, onwards and upwards and just put it down to a blip.

So instead of a smoker you'll be a fat git?

I am kidding, honest!

Congrats on not caving and buying a pack of fags

Well done on not giving in!

did you vape your normal amount this morning? (before work?)

[OneDay]

Hang in there. Your banner says you've avoided 300 fags so far... well done! And remember, even if you have the odd ciggie it's not going to be the end of the world but congratulations on the willpower

I was drinking a cup of coffee when I read that and that is not conducive when also pissing myself laughing.

Thanks. The odd ciggie does sound very tempting but I daren't because I know the odd one will turn into the odd two etc, etc especially at these early days for me.

Thanks for all the words of support though people much appreciated and just what I needed.

Well done graham! The urge to smoke stayed with me for about 3 months, until I went to mums who smoked for the weekend and the smell made me feel ill!!! Hope you're proud of yourself for not giving in!!!

[DiscoDes]

perhaps you need to vape a higher nicotine mix in the morning?

???

[smokescreen]

Don't be hard on yourself for having a wobble. You are doing so well

[pinkerbell]

Well done resisting! Even if you do get fat at least you'll smell lovely

[Karma]

Graham, i agree with des. I think you should up your nicotine content for mornings/sly daytime vapes. I think it may help with the cravings

Congrats on resisting the urge to smoke.
Just to echo what others have said, when I'm at home and can chain vape, I only use about 14mg nicotine.
But when I'm at work and having to only vape on quick breaks I use higher 18mg juice

[vapourized]

Well, I've just got home after having resisting all the temptation this afternoon by doing what I said I'd do - going to the gents and having a crafty vape,

The trouble was that as soon as I got home I decided to have a cigarette so I lit one up from the remaining open pack I still have (I sold today all the packs I bought back from holiday) which I haven't touched since I packed up, oh my God, it was horrible!! I took two drags from it and one of those was when I was lighting it up, after the second drag I'd had enough and gave it to my wife - I shant be doing that again no matter how desperate I get, I'd rather go without.

So in a way, that cigarette did me some good in a bizarre way in that in reenforced that I don't want to smoke. The postman had delivered 10 B&H carts I had ordered from Vape Escape as at the moment that is the taste I prefer out of the ones I've tried so far, very much like a roll up rather than B&H but nice nevertheless.

So at the moment I am surrounded by clouds of vapour and now totally content and satisfied, I probably agree that maybe I need to up my nicotine levels for the first vape of the morning so I shall give that a try. When I think about it, I would have probably had 4-5 cigarettes within an hour of going to work so up the nicotine makes sense.

Anyway, blip over with, thanks for all you moral support and advice and as always - much appreciated.

Hi Graham - i personally have a skycig box in my pocket all day at work, they're small and discreet so i can have a puff on them any time i like and no-one's any the wiser! You can also refill the cartomisers supplied by skycig with ejuice so all you have is the initial expense of buying the kit I also have my Riva sitting in the car so i head out there at lunchtime and get a real vape going

Keep up the non-smoking mate!

[vapourized]

He he, you have and do the exact same thing as me except that I bought my Riva in with me this afternoon, My SkyCig and Riva was in my pockets all afternoon and when I felt the need I would pay a visit to the gents. Luckily for me they are individual single small rooms with an opening window so no one would ever know that I'd been in there.

That helped me a lot.
