Anybody back track?

[Spartan8029]

Today is the first time I have drank since I've started vaping and I made a big mistake. When I was at the liqour store I bought a single black and mild thinking I would smoke it and see what it tasted like. I know I know, wtf was I thinking?! Well I sure do miss the feeling of actual smoke in comparison to a vapor cloud and I'm fighting the urge to go buy a pack, has anybody fell of the wagon like this before?

I guess I'm going to have to reset my signature now

Mistakes happen. The most important part is to climb back on the horse and keep on riding. Had that happen a month after I vaped while I was out with friends. Seen all them smoke constantly made me smoke half cig that I bummed. Then went back to vaping like nothing had happened.

Just stay strong and vape those urges away with some strong mg juice and you'll be fine.

Don't reset - just put a minus 1 on your sig next to your banner. You have achieved a lot going 23 days and the addendum will act as a reminder not a failure. We all human afterall.

Thanks for the kind words guys, the vodka is making it tough but I just loaded up some 24mg RY4 with some 36mg unflavored added. Letting the carto sit for a minute and then I'm going to just pretend like nothing happened. Here's hoping it works...

 

[washvap]

I'm sure you'll be fine. Just vape until your urge is gone. I went through quite a bit of juice when I started to get over withrawal symptoms.

If you get desperate vape the vodka

I was clean for a year and "fell" the exact same way...

Heading to a Halloween party where I knew a lot of people would be smoking. Stopped by the liquor store and saw some cloves sitting behind the counter. My brain lied to me... "You'll just have a couple tonight and be done. Be a social smoker only." As soon as I accepted the fact that I was addicted again I swapped back to Vaping...

Try upping your eliquid strength a bit to get you over the urges.

I just finished the black and I decided I'm going to push through this. I'm vaping right now and I realize it tastes MUCH better. I still want to go get another but I'm going to fight the urge with the help of ECF. Please forgive me if you see a ton of posts but I have to do something to distract me.

Think about the black tar in your lungs... Or the nasty smell... Or the yellow finger nails... Not worth it.

Make a deal with yourself that if you do buy anther one you can only smoke half of it ... the other half you have to eat.

I see the sig is updated

Cheer up - you have failed 0.2193% in the last 24 odd days - the other 99.7807% you have been strong.

Hey man, I hear you. I've been off analogs for.. like 30 hours now. Had to go from 12mg to 18 for the cravings.

Second day in, I've started coughing stuff out of my lungs that I can't recognize. Talk about an incentive to keep with it.

You can do it! Just keep vaping and relax. I have to admit last weekend I had a few whiskey and colas, and having the PV right at hand and the analogs in a drawer in the other room helped a lot.

Here's a trick I sort of ran into by accident -- take something you used to associate with smoking, and use it for vaping. For instance, I have an old cigarette case my wife gave me. It holds cartos just fine, and after a drink I may realize I just picked it up and "packed" it. That's my cue to switch flavors or up mg.

I smoked blacks... bought a box an hour before I bought my first e-Black (eGo). I smoked one 3 weeks later, it was good but, whatever, so is my vapor. A month after that I had another, didn't want to finish it, and my throat was a little sore the next day. After six months I just gave the other three away.
Just look at it like you were experimenting to see if your craving was gone. Just don't do to many experiments! lol

 

[Spartan8029]

Yeah, I'm going to pass on the next black. I just ran 1 1/2 miles with my dog to help distract me and just got back. The whole time I was walking back I was puffing away on thepv and when I got home there was pizza waiting for me. Not a bad way to help keep my mind of the smokes. So far so good

 

[Sicarius]

You sure you went to "take the dog for a walk" - be honest now.

 

[Spartan8029]

HAHA, after having to pt everyday @5 in the morning and converting to the occasional jog, the dog has to keep up with me!

 

[TotalTiffy]

Smelling your clothes and hands tomorrow will definitely make you not want to smoke again.

 

[Spartan8029]

My hands and clothes like spilled cranberry juice and vodka. At this rate I won't remember anything tomorrow that is until I go back and read this thread!

 

[Ande]

Enjoy the vodka and cranberry. It is totally normal to crave when you're drinking. Keep vaping all you can. When if you can up the nicotine level, do it.

BUt, whether you smoke or not, now, the thing is that tomorrow you don't have to.

Vape through it. THe urges WILL go away.

Good advice Ande, I think that come morning I'm just going to continue vaping like usual and forget all about the smoke. So far the one black I've had is long gone. My pv is doing a good job of fulfilling my cravings. I just hope that next time I can forgo the act of buying them all together. I'd hate to smoke every time I get a little buzzed. Hey Ande, you're not at Osan air base are you?
