We understand the sadness. Hey they were there for every event that happened in our lives, the good and the bad. My best buddy (cigarettes) that I kicked to the curb and was happy I did it. But there are a few niggling times when I wonder how my best friend (cigarette) is doing. Sometimes you just have to let go and live. ;)

You have to want to give those last two or three up. When you would have a smoke, vape until you feel sick, the moment will pass and you won't have had that cigarette.

I buy as little cigs as possible, and this is one of those days when I want to get dressed and go find that 10 stored in the car...

This is resonating with me today! I know I'm getting nicotine, but something is going on in my brain!

Like others have mentioned, I needed to have a cigarette-free environment. I smoked my last one and then just dug my heels in and refused to buy another pack. It wasn't easy for me. But every morning I wake up and make a vow that I won't smoke that day, and sort of walk through the strategies I have in place to avoid cigarettes (e.g. loading up a few flavors, making time for a walk, waiting for that urge to pass). If the urge is really really strong I remind myself that it won't be the same - cigarettes will no longer taste the same. And I remind myself that the urge will pass.

I think the hardest thing for me to deal with is how sad I feel. I get that there are chemicals sloshing around in my brain, fewer receptors and all that, but sometimes the heart doesn't listen to the head.

Quitting cigarettes hasn't been easy for me. But this forum has been so helpful. I visit it every day and get inspired to keep going.

I am having the same problem, just can't get past those last two a day. I know a smoke free environment would do the trick, BUT my other half still smokes and there is always a pack on the counter. I am just going to have to find the strength to do this in the face of temptation, it will happen eventually, a 50 year old addiction isn't easy to break.

Thanks, everyone! :)

If those last few happen to coincide with certain times of the day or certain activities make an alternative plan for one or two of those times.

In the morning with your coffee? I made sure to first sit with my coffee and know that I needed to have a good long vape session on a high voltage and a strong juice. After so long, my brain realized I now longer needed that smoke.

In the car? Make yourself leave the pack behind. Vape while driving and you'll realize you don't need it.

Drinking with friends. Man this one is tough. I would conquer all your other smoke times and then approach this one last.

Also, make sure you have enough nic in your juice.

Yes, it's always after each meal, during my 1 break a day at work if I'm lucky enough to get a break, and uhm after sex lol •blush• ;)

Otherwise, no stinkies...

Tried the SLOW change over multiple times...Never worked....So what I did a little over a week ago is Stop cold turkey with analogs.

and Switched to a Vape that I really liked....I bought a K100 mechanical...And honestly? Its working better then an EGO.

only bad thing I can find is my Chain vaping.... but im sure ill cool it later on....

weening yourself dosent always work..sometimes you just gotta dive in ..

good luck!
