Yeah, they'd be hard to break. I suppose if I flung one against my designated "anger wall" but why would I do that? You can get cheap plates at goodwill for like 5 cents.

Full disclosure have not needed anger wall in many years. It sure was useful when I needed it though.
I went through a divorce support group put on by my church. The final weekly meeting was a sort of graduation event. We wrote on plates with marker about our feelings about our ex's and what angered us about our divorce, and then smashed them against the basement wall. It was surprisingly refreshing and gave some closure to weeks and months of anger and saddness. I highly recommend it. ;)

At this point I feel bad for people that want to start vaping to quit smoking. Unless you're willing to dive into the deep end of the pool it's almost a waste of time and money.

Don't think I would have been able to handle it back in 14 if I had signed on here and been told vaping would go away in a few months and I had to get liters of nic and a lifetime supply of mods and tanks. That's on top of figuring out what type of vaping I would like and what mods were good and all that. It would be hard enough if the river came over the levee today and I had to start from scratch tomorrow, but at least I would know what to get.

It's a question of motivation. I found and immediately joined ECF on Dec 14, 2013. On December 31, 2013 I ordered my first liter of nic. By then I hadn't had a cigarette in almost two weeks, without having lost my temper at anyone at all. I considered that to be a miracle, and I wasn't going to let any stupid politician or bureaucrat take that miracle away from me, ever.

Somewhere out there
I had my first vape in 2009 and it was all the talk that ecigs would be banned. I remember thinking this could work, too bad silly government is trying to kill it. Well here I am still vaping and stocked to the gills and thank goodness it isn't 2009 and only cartos stocked, although I have a good supply of those too! And still silly government trying to kill it all again. My whole vaping journey has been under attack since my first puff.

Louis CK is good. Sam Kinison had some great routines about divorce, too, but I'd never be able to post them on this forum.



I got over my anger issues about divorce. Divorce is actually the death of a marriage, so you go through all the stages of the grieving process: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. My ex and I are still "friends" to this day, although it took some work and time on both of our parts to get there. I never remarried. She just got remarried for the third time. I hope for her sake that 3rd time is a charm.

cause divorce is Forever! (c)
For me, probably. I did a lot of soul searching after my divorce. Although I truly believed I had married my best friend and soul mate, I realized years later that I have been most happiest in my life when I've been single. When single, I've been able to do what I want, when I want, and not have to check in with another human being's permission to do what I want, when I want.

My ex on the other hand, once told my daughter that you're not a real woman unless you have a man. Thank goodness my daughter doesn't believe that.

I should add here that I'm not knocking marriage at all. If two people are willing to work out any differences together (and there will always be differences), then more power to them. They are the lucky ones. It takes two people to tango and two people willing to work things out when one or both are unhappy to make a marriage work.

Gosh I joined ECF when deeming was looming the first time and got started. To be fair, I had some experience with like, ecigs firs, and COPD was looming. If you are motivated enough... Yes. I don't think I could have afforded all the stuff I have NOW in 3 months not to mention 18 liters of nic. So, I feel fortunate.

I really gave my first marriage everything I had, because, well, I am like that. I was also (partly but not the most to blame.) I went to marriage counseling for like 3-4 YEARS.

One day, I looked at my marriage counselor and realized I loved, cared, and knew about that person FAR more than I did my husband and she was a CHICK.

I packed the next day. I will give something my all, and then I am DONE. I can't say I particularly missed the freaking domestic violence. The hard part was FINALLY getting the kid, and if I could go back and change ANYTHING I would have been smart and FLED after getting peed on in my sleep (long story) and put NO NAME on the birth certificate at ALL.

That would have been smart, but I needed a bit of seasoning.

Oddly I don't hate the ex. Too many of his (now buried, possibly literally I got some VERY odd texts before radio silence) GOOD traits are in my kid. He gave me the best thing I have ever received, and I can't hate him for that,. I do hate (and feel sorry) that he wouldn't/couldn't get sober for the KID (not me, even the kid.) That kid spent more love on that drunk than he ever deserved, or probably noticed.

When the kid said the ex had relapsed for 3 years on ETOH and crack, and he had not told me (and been badly neglected over summers etc.) but didn't tell me because my ex told him if we did, he'd send one of his illegal workers to kill me and my husband ,that was it. I took the kid to a nice, expensive lawyer and he (the kid) asked for a parental severance. So we got one, along with some more (nice) expensive therapy to deal with the issue.

Kid has good boundaries now, though,. For a while I was scared he would marry a nutso me or an alcoholic father, but he wont date alcoholics (even the one he fell deeply in love with) so I was happy. I was scared when he said Tyra Banks had Charisma I was like, "CHILD NO! That's a boob job and a personality disorder!' LOL.

So yea divorce is weird, I do miss the happy go lucky ex who was kind of a doofus and before the crack.

That drug does NOTHING for your personality or anything.

Ah well,. Eating time.

I am EMBARRASED about my packages including the Mech I plan to Use which is kIT BUT also has a serial number. First time .LOL.

Food.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I’ve been on ecf over ten years now. This is the first time I’ve taken a ban seriously. I just kept thinking it’ll never happen. Now I know better and bought a freezer, nic, and added to my stash. Even I was surprised how much I spent just last month. However the money I’ve spent is still less than what a year of cigarettes would cost.
