As the seasons change

[Deeo]

I just know that when the seasons change cigarettes cravings will hit. It is true when you quit smoking certain things can trigger a craving. Seasons changing , a new job or a situation where the cigarette was your best friend.

I have hit 2 craving situations at once. A new job and seasons changing. Spring is right around the corner and this week the weather is warm and the sun is shining. I decided that i am going to order some rootbeer and cola ejuice for the cravings when the seasons change. Just making a change in the flavor i think will help. As for the new job, i am not really craving just feeling that if i was smoking that it would be easier to not be the newbie. It sounds weird but smoking away from the cigarette smokers makes me feel anti social and an out cast. I won't vape near them as to me that defeats the purpose. I am a bit better now because it seems that it is "the first" time that i just need to get through and then i am okay.

I was told a few years ago when i quit cold turkey that it is "the first" at anything such as the seasons changing that cravings may happen and i want to be prepared. What are some other things that we can do to help with these kind of cravings?

I like the idea of a flavor change to keep the habit out of it. You might associate one flavor with an old routine, and when that routine changes it can maybe upset that balance. Makes sense to me anyway

True but i gotta think of something. Because those surprise cravings can and do come out of nowhere. They don't happen often anymore so that is a good thing.

The seasons really didn't affect me ....my biggest hurdle was the cigarette after a big meal....kept a cig alike for a long time cause of that. Then I just put it away and now its all about the bigger mods. Actually I was cleaning out my vaping drawer and came across and gave it a go. The act was so awkward that I put it back in the drawer. Amazing considering I smoked for over 20 years!

Higher nic in one flavor you love? Save a tank that's already filled for those moments you get desperate for a nic hit so you don't have to mess with anything, just pop it on and go. Sit and vape away on it til you're over that craving. I have had moments where I literally say "OK you can make it through the next minute" for cig cravings and anxiety attacks. I just keep watching the clock and reminding myself I'm strong enough to make it through one minute, and then the next. Before you know it the craving is over, and you can move on knowing you made it through
