Cig free for a month

Congratulations yourself on 6 months! That's a brave and mighty feat.

Make that 8 months losing track of time

Hey Twisty,

This is the time to be vigilant and careful that the nicodemon doesn't draw you back in to a terrible and cruel addiction. Just take it one day at a time and soon you will forget that you vaped for awhile. It is good that you stopped now, but then again the most important thing is not to smoke a cigarette. it is the lie of the addict to say you were only happy when smoking. Just shut that bs down. it isn't true. You were happy before you ever started smoking and will be one day again.

I was tempted into smoking and I did. I bought some packs, but I've learned my lesson. I got SO irritable and had several panic attacks. At first I thought I could hide it from everybody and just smoke one, but then I told my mom. I literally and emotionally felt like crap. Not only did I ruin 5 months, but I spent about $150 on them. I could have saved that money or just done things with it.

I feel like such a lousy person.

Hey Twisty,

I'm sorry to read that you threw away your quit. It is something that I did many times before I made it to my lifetime sticky quit. One thing that made the difference for me was to participate on an active quit smoking forum. the one I participated on went belly up but there is another active forum at quittrain.com

which you might want to check out and start participating in the daily NOPE pledge (not one puff ever).

quitting is tough but doable. Just dust yourself off and get back on the wagon. Accept that you are an addict and that there is no such thing as just one puff or just one cigarette. That is a lie of the addiction. You are an addict not a lousy person.

No worries, stay strong and keep at it. Quitting is so hard to do. I've gone a month now and have been exercising and eating healthy (helps out big time). It's about the fourth time I've quit. Lol. It gets a bit easier each time and I learn what trips me off every time I go back to it. I'm confident I got a good momentum this time. It's important to find other ways to deal with the stress and boredom for me. I'm sure you can do it! Don't beat yourself up too hard, keep trying. Im cheering you on! It's the best thing you can do for yourself.

I've decided to quit this smoking crap again. One day in, one day out, and I only have a bit of vape juice left. Let's see if I am able to go far with this one. I stopped that 5 month quit and really felt like poopy the whole time. Period. Not even just in the way where I mean I didn't achieve what I wanted to. Physically, too, and I was grouchy.

At least I have an excuse to eat a lot now.
