Anyone else fallen by the wayside recently

[Jen]

I've had 2, when the waste pipe blew on the loo - mega stress! Didn't help, didn't taste nice, absolutely stank (almost worse than the waste pipe but not quite!). I did get that big rush of chemicals like when I first started smoking, but didn't enjoy it enough to want to go back to the fags.

Just had smoker friends over for the weekend, constantly outside fagging away. I was quite surprised that I wasn't even tempted, not even when drinking. It's all just a question of habit, I guess.

Completely forgot a mod last week after leaving for a Friday drink with the lads. Ended up smoking 3 cigs, and bloody hell did I regret it in the morning. It's only been a couple of months off them but my chest was so tight and I couldn't stop coughing. Really awful. It brings home the damage I was doing before vaping!

Fasttech has sorted this particular scenario from happening again courtesy of 4 EGO backups, placed in coats/car and behind the bar!

I was clearing out my garage a couple of days ago, and came across an old pouch of tobacco with those horrible dusty shreds in the bottom, plus a couple of filters and some papers. What the hell, I thought, just one won't do any harm!
Then I thought, yeah, but one will lead to another, and then I'll be back on the stinkies again.
Into the black bin bag went the pouch, and I had a nice vape on some Blackcurrant and White Chocolate instead (homemade I hasten to add!).
Quite pleased with myself for actually showing some willpower, something I don't have a lot of at times.

I have had a few over the last 6 months. Normally when we are drinking but obly ever have one and realise how bad it is and then back to vaping. Have not had one for 2 months now but we have given up drinking due to baby making so that has helped.

No way Jose! Not even come close. Ciggies are a thing of the past in my life

Well its only been less than two weeks off the fags for me and although I look at my daughter's ciggies sometimes and think `shall I have a try n see what it's like' I just remind myself I will be back to day one of no smokes .... if that makes sense? It helps to look at my no smoking counter banner every day ....
just try to keep reminding yourself how many you HAVEN'T smoked

"Lead us not into temptation..." It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that cigarette cravings will decline in a linear manner over time. This has not been my experience. I get an occasional crisis from time to time. I had a particularly bad one about three months after quitting. I overcame it by changing from 11mg juice up to 18 mg. I also bought a tin of snuff. I bought it for emergencies, but having bought it, I decided to try it the once, and have not touched it since. I don`t want it to become a habit. It really works, a good pinch up each nostril, and you can`t even think about smoking or vaping for about three hours without feeling sick.
At the minute, I use both 11 and 18 mg at different times of the day. Be warned that it would be easy to pick up a snuff addiction, but snuff is a lot less of a health threat than cigarettes.

Sorry to hear that about your other half Matt. If something like that doesn't send you back to smoking then I would say
" you've cracked it " well done

I have had a few (less than 10) this week, too much stress surrounding daughters 18th birthday party, could have really done with having some Artic Cherry 30mg in which would have stopped me. Felt sick but the scrooge side of me came out and said smoke it don't waste it.

Going to vape myself stupid tonight and hope that cures it, though i think getting through Saturday night with the house in one piece will probably put me back on track.

Andy Blackcurrant and white chocolate sounds devine. May have to pinch your receipe.

   Yes stress in whatever form is a real bugga. Will be thinking of you on Saturday. lol

   How about we get together and break into Andy's house and steal some of his mix. ?

Yep, a few weeks ago when I had a cold, and developed a cough - vaping was almost impossible, because it set the cough off, but smoking didn't - which I found really odd. Back to vaping again now - I really didn't enjoy smoking at all, and also found that I'd forget to smoke the cigs after I'd lit them, having got into the habit of puffing less often and 'harder' (if you see what I mean) when vaping. Smoking just tastes and smells horrible to me now.
