Grumpy A-holes (quitting cigarettes/ nicotine products) (Part 1)

Imma leave this here

You know the constant nagging of needing a hit has been lifted. But i still have fleeting thoughts about vaping. Tonight we went to a restaurant and i parked right in front of a vape shop and i had to keep telling myself look away. You dont vape. Whatever i didnt vape. Its a win. Just wanted to acknowledge the evolution of addiction and a battle won

AWESOME numbers @JazzyS and @cjp!!! I still chew toothpicks after 8+ years but smoking is but a distant bad memory. Never again :people_hugging: :people_hugging:

Day 1144… Whatever happened to waking up and putting a ciggie in your mouth before tea, coffee, toothpaste or breakfast.
What happened to smelling like shit and not knowing it, going through the butt ends to make 1 decent roll up,standing out in the cold and wet for the privilege of coughing your guts up. Whatever happened to all that money, health problems, yellow fingers, stained lips, dirty ashtrays, that burn mark on the new sofa.
We happened!!!
And nothing happens by accident - well done everyone :+1:

I’m watching Apocalypse Now for the tenth time or so but for the first time in quite some years. Martin Sheen chain smoking Marlboro’s just gave me a crave for a cigarette for just a moment. First one in a loooong time. 2980 Days smoke free. Never again! Smoking is stupid. Smoking kills. And so does vaping. X

You could always write down a list of how great your life is going to be with vape. You know that one puff will lead to puffing for a long time.
I would expect that you know that you won’t look that cute. It’s not going to do much of anything for you other than make you feel tremendously upset that you blew your vape quit. It might even depress you and cause you duress.
Try the list out and add the things in there that will enrich your life. Should you go get the vape.
As you know, the craves will come, and the craves will go. Let them wash over you and go on their way.
You are a vape junkie. Your junkie vape is going to come in there and mess with you. You are stronger. The junkie vape can FRO. Just keep repeating that to your very own vape junkie. Sorry you’re having the craves, the same for you @Mno and everyone else w craves
