Feel So Guilty 73 Days Smoke Free and Just Lit Up An Analog!

[markinchelsea]

Hello There,

I am a newbie here and I hope everyone is doing great? Anyway I stopped smoking 73 days ago and made the switch to vaping. I basically just stopped smoking and first two weeks I found it quite easy with the switch it was kind of a novelty and a new hobby. Then a few weeks into it I started getting really stressed out, had mega anxiety and depression and I think it was me getting used to different levels of nicotine etc. Though I do suffer from anxiety disorder anyway it just seemed a bit extreme. The past 10 days I finally felt a bit on a even keel and felt that I had finally found the right nicotine level.

Though for some reason I have just lit and smoked an analog cigarette I don't even know why I tried it, I just wanted to see how I would feel etc and it tasted disgusting. Have any of you guys and gals ever done the same? I don't feel a strong pull back to cigarettes at all but there was some psychological click that made me want to try it. Does it mean I am back to square one and the past 73 days was a waste of time. Just feel really guilty beyond words.

Thanks for reading this far.

Cheers
Mark

Meh, a lot of us vaped and smoked at the same time, or switched back and forth before quitting for good. I wouldn't beat myself up over it.

And now you know how disgusting those cigarettes really taste. What a disappointment, right? Ultimately it was that nasty taste that got me to quit for good. Just couldn't stand it.

That really was a good thing not a bad thing. It gave you reason not to try one again because it IS Disgusting. I think a lot of us did that at one point. Don't fret about it and just keep on vaping.

Hello and welcome! Of course your not back to square one, your doing awesome! Please don't fee guilty for smoking one cigarette. It took me months of duel using before I could stop smoking. Everyone has their own pace.

I've been smoke free for a few months now and just last weekend I had a lot to drink and lit a couple. Tasted terrible to me as well and I still have no desire to light up again.

I choose to believe that they are disgusting. There are people that dual use tho, or go back to them entirely. I wonder if that is sheer will?

You only fail if you stop trying, every cigarette NOT smoked is a victory.

I've done the same........more than once! Don't worry about it.

To me, it sounds like a good thing you had a smoke and found it disgusting. Sort of reinforces the notion that they are something you really don't want!

 

[Imfallen_Angel]

I find that most ex-smokers tend to have a few moments of "weakness" and even curiosity. I've yet to see one that didn't find it disgusting and even nauseous over it though.

But even my wife that vaping was the only thing that did work for her after a life of smoking, admits that even 8 years later, she still has moments where she almost crave a "real one". She did a few times and felt crappy afterwards.

Thanks for your very kind replies I am determined to not go back onto the stinkies! Think I have found a great and very nice community here

 

[djsvapour]

I try to smoke now and again. Like, deliberately, to see!
I really don't like it...urgh... that distinctive taste of tar....

No though, don't feel bad. If you get the strong desire to take in a huge nicotine dose (like we might with food or alcohol) have a 100w mod on standby with a huge cloud RDA set-up...

You can accomplish your goals thru negative reinforcement also..

 

[rgerber]

You are just fine. I have admit I tried to light my ePipe once....but only once. I still stick my finger in the bowl to see if it's lit" sometimes. Almost 60 years of pipes and cigars will do that to a guy. Used to burn the crap out of my finger doing that. Only vape the ePipe once in while these days. The Reo is my daily do good...

They say it is only one cig a day that continues the disease. I feel a lot better, I have confidence and self-respect, too. Cigs taste like crap! I enjoy the flavors. I have 7 test bottles (5ml) ready today after after having steeped.

I don't mind any amount of nicotine because it is not the evil part of the cigarette/vaping issue. Like you, I need to find moments to settle myself and relax. I use vaping. I take the dog for a walk, sit on the porch, tinker at the workbench, or listen on my wireless headphones. I love my music and my 17 doctors say that it is good.

My doctor approves and my dentist noticed a change in my gums. I didn't tell him that I switched, but I did smile.

I really think that cig smoke/smoking is detrimental in so many ways. It is even interrupting of my life.

I do like the hobby side of vaping and the social interaction of talking about experiences.

Many reasons not to smoke, many reasons to vape.

I did a few weeks in, tried one smoke. Tried again while drinking after a year of no smoking, just a couple puffs and it was nasty. Went home, brushed my teeth. I think vaping is so nice it doesn't hurt if you try a couple here and there.

Feeling guilty is probably one of the worst things you could do so don't
How could 73 days smoke free be a waste of time?

Don't feel bad Mark everyone does it at least once. My analog experience came from my habit of smoking one in bed. The APV couldn't be held upside down, so I grabbed an analog. Ugh how disgusting. So the very next morning I found some surgical tubing and made a line for my APV. Tada bedtime smoke. I adapted rapidly to trashing the tube. That was the first and last time I will smoke an analog.

Don't beat yourself up about a slipup. Poo happens. Cigarettes have too many chemicals to count in them, devoted to keeping us smoking. You are doing great. Keep up the good work, and do not let anyone or anything discourage you.

Hi Mark, You're doing great ! Not to worry about that one nasty. Stuff happens, move on.
