Things are on the up

[Mrsmac]

Evening all, well I've had a very strange day. Like any normal morning, I had 4 nasties left from the previous days pacl of 20. I had my usual morning one with tea, hubby nicked one, leaving me with one. I had the remaining one shortly after he left (I smoke more in the mornings!) And the pack was empty before 9am.

I topped up my stardust with my new favourite juice grape from FV and said to myself, I'll go shop when the cravings kick in....erm...I'm still waiting!

Hubby comes home and duitifully presents me with a fresh box of 20 at which point the urge to smoke became strong. So after dinner I lit up...yuck! I had half and threw the other half away. I gave myself a half hour vape, topped up my stardust and haven't been back to the pack!

Hubby comes in from a meeting and looks at the pack shocked that I only had one! This is a major milestone for me having only 3.5 nasties today and despite the craving when they were put in front of me, I've been fine. I'm not saying I'm going to throw the nasties out the door, but it is amazing after around 16 years I have only had 3.5 today and I am not feeling too bad about it! It has a lot to do with having a kit that is performing well, a great tasting juice and my laziness for going shop!!

I'm proud of me hoping tomorrow will be as positive as today, but if not it will be ok and at least I know if I really want to, I can do it!

Well done MrsMac, good news

The main thing when vpaing is to not beat yourself up for the analogs you do have but to congratulate yourself for the ones you haven't had -- Well done!!

WELL CONGRATULATIONS Mrsmac

[Mrsmac]

Thanks everyone, couldn't have done it without the support of the forum, think I will set myself a target but no pressure because I didn't plan today

Well done Mrsmac - I've found the cravings do go, but probably never completely. More and more though, it is something you find special to vape that takes over

Well done Mrsmac

Well done Mrsmac, you have every right to be proud of yourself

[Mrsmac]

I am finding this all too amazing at the mo. This morning I have the classic signs of withdrawal, a fuzzy head, a wee sore throat. I was going to set myself a target of 4 nasties if I need to today but that may be difficult as I am going to be out and about. I dont think I will restrict myself cause that may make things difficult. I will go with the flow and see how I do today.

Have a good day all

Well done Mrsmac. I was like you to start with mixing vaping and smoking and couldn't give up the first morning smoke so I went from 40+ to 4 a day when I started but then I realised I was smoking just because they were there and it was more natural to smoke than vape so I stopped buying them and made sure in a morning first thing I did was grab the e-cig and make a strong coffee and that got me through the morning urge and the rest of the day was a doddle. Don't even think of buying smokes now.

So enjoy your day and good luck, you're doing so well.

Agree with Tizer, stick you e-cig in your mouth as soon as you get up and that will stop the craving!

I had a craving after work yesterday but it was just because I hadn't been able to vape at all for 2.5 hours, so simply nicotine withdrawl. soon passed when I had the oportunity for a decent vape

well done MrsMac... you should be very proud of yourself just remember dont put any pressure on yourself to not smoke, it will just come naturally
