Hard Weekend

Maybe your putting too much pressure on yourself? I once read an interview with Holly Aird who said she'd given up both Heroin and Cigarettes she found giving up cigarettes much harder than Heroin , its always stuck with me.

I had a gradual approach to cutting down and it worked until I got down to 4-5 cigs a day and I've stuck there, am I disappointed that I haven't quit altogether , yes a little, am I damn proud that I've cut out 20 cigs a day , damn right ! That's £7 a day I'm saving I can laugh without coughing and don't have flem unless I'm unwell , incidentally I'm partial to a wee wine or two of an evening can't remember last time I had a hangover.... I've taken up running and don't continually smell of cig's . I won't ever regularly smoke more than 5 a day, I do hope to decrease this but I've got a lot going on at the moment so its taken a back seat for now. When I'm ready I'll cut back by another 1 a day , then another , one day I'll not have a cigarette , then it will be a month, , three months, but I will do it in my own damn time and not in the time someone expects me too

I do get a bit jealous when I see new vapers quickly overtaking me in the zero tobacco stakes, but then I shrug and think that's their journey not mine , I want to quit tobacco for good but I know there is a good chance if I push myself to far I won't , it doesn't matter how we get there just that we will

Spot on Kirsty... very well said and good on you... you'll definitely get there... go gal go!!

I was able to cut the nasties out right away.. well except for 1 when I got caught out with dead battery.. but I was hating every nasty I put in my mouth.. Vaping met all my needs and gave me the comforts of smoking without all the bad bits..... I love it!

Ciar what everybody else says it right. If something happens to stress you out and you reach for a ciggie, that's fine. I had a few rollies each day when I took my 2 sons to a caravan last school holiday and they fought and argued. I cried and made a roll-up or 3, but I also vaped. Be so proud of what you have achieved so far and are still achieving now.

Well done #icon_bravo#
