Been Gone Awhile..........

[sbphotog]

Life has been so hectic lately that I haven't had time to log on to ECF. My husband recently had knee surgery from an injury he sustained in Afghanistan. So I have been running ragged non stop, and it takes a big toll in a short time when I have my own pain from scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica to deal with and little sleep on top of that. I'm not gonna lie.....the stress has been awful and I started smoking again, BUT I'm still vaping too.....so all hope is not lost.

I've been wanting to order more juice over the past couple weeks but money has been tight and luckily I wasn't out of KBV yet, but I'm starting to get low. I was finally able to place an order lastnight (YAY!). I ordered 3 flavors that are a first for me....MAW, Monkey Bread, Blueberry Romance. Can't wait to try 'em. I'm starting to burn out on HBN....I wanna lay off that for a while so when I come back to it, it'll be to die for again.

I'm gonna make an effort to be on the boards more soon....I don't seem to want an analog when I'm on the boards or watching vids about vaping.....strange uh?

LOL Sorry. Been super busy stalking mod threads today. Just quick in and outs on the KBV subforum. Welcome back!

The bright spot in all that is that you know how to get off the tobacco this time! Hope everything turns out OK for you guys.

I had a relapse a short time ago too. My PV broke. Just plain broke. While I was waiting 3 days for the vendor to send me a replacement I went back to analogs..........for a month! It was just a few weeks ago where I was finally able to just vape. Now I've got a backup lol.

Welcome back!

i was typing earlier, then got caught up in something, welcome back!, im guessing your husband is in the military, so thank him for his service, i have a cousin that lives in afghanistan doing contract work, and his older brother just hit e9 command master seargant i think? anyways, hope he recovers swiftly. everyone has had a relapse, at least you kept the analogs reduced with the e cigg, youll get back to it, stressful situations can be hard. good luck, hopefully we wills ee you around the boards some more, you can always come here for suport!

HA! That got people commenting

Within a couple days I should be back off the stinkies. I had gotten back up to 1/2 pack but I'm quickly cutting that down with the anticipation of some new KBV joose coming....only had 4 analogs yesterday. Today it will only be 2 or 3 probably.

Hubby is slowly improving. He's getting around easier on his crutches and he can dress himself now. Things should get easier when he's allowed to bend his knee and start walking on it (in about 5 more weeks).

The set backs just piss me off though. I should be able to stay off the analogs even when stressed, but I sometimes I just can't .
Oh well, I won't be that hard on myself....just take it one day at a time and I'll get there.

Welcome back!! Good luck to you...you can do it! I have many relapses, but I keep pushing on. Stress is an awful thing when trying to stay off cigs. Exactly what you said, one day at a time.

Welcome back SBP! Hope your husband continues to improve. Don't be too hard on yourself. Sounds like you have been thru a lot lately too. Repeat after me...I forgive myself, I love myself, I can do this!

have you tried havign a higher level nic around? sometimes when i get super stressed and find myself wanting an analog, ill user a higher strength nicotine that kills it, also what really got me to quit, is i would vape BEFORE i needed the nic so i wouldnt have the fit and go to back just some suggestions.. so what happned to your husband? shrapnel? thats the usual, my cousin who lives there for contract work has rockets flying by his tent 2-3 times a week.
