Had to reset my counter

[Nev]

I had a really bad day yesterday and smoked the remaining 2 packs of analogs I had left. They tasted like crap and I still did it.

But the good news, this morning I didn't have the urge to go and get more. I just started vaping at a little higher nic level and so far feel fine.

Now if I could just drag myself away from my PT and get something done!

Dont worry about it,its a slip,not a fall.Todays a new day!!

Please! Are we the analog cops? I don't have time! LOL
You just go on, don't worry about the counter..almost everyone on this board has had a "few". Some vape and smoke.
Then there are people like me who are so additced to analogs that I can't even have one. If I did I would just go back to analogs. You are among the lucky..you can walk away again!
By the way..I am proud of you!

 

[Nev]

LOL glad you aren't the analog cops Would make for an incredibly mean thread LMAO I just told myself I needed to tell someone...that way maybe I wouldn't do it again!

Glad that today has been better than yesterday was. We all have rough times now and then. (hug)

It's just a step backwards....and now you are going forward again...that's all that matters!!! ((((hugs))))

I'm like MK, I can't have just one or I would be right back at it all over again.

Stuff happens! No need to punish yourself. You've already accomplished so much.

Aww I think you should put your counter back to where it was. You didn't "un-do" all you gave up so far, not even close! In January I was in Vegas on business, I had a ciggy in my mouth before they could say "place your bets!" Four days and two packs later that was it, time to go home and went back to vaping. I was like wow I did pretty good, back in the day it would have been at least twice as many cigs. I haven't had any since and as long as I stay outta Vegas I should be OK.

 

[Nev]

LOL Vegas will do that to you. Trust me Actually I was going to put it back, but decided in the end that it is not really there for me...it's there for other people to see that this can be successful. Helps remind me too, but I really don't need it. I know what I have done (besides it was only a few days).

I chose to quit kicking myself about it

 

[starrynight]

Oh how funny! I didn't even realize you are in Vegas! Great city, I was sad to leave it...

 

[Nev]

I'd be happy to, I have lived here since I was a teenager. But I have a great job, good benefits and good vacation, and with all my family gone now, not sure where I'd live if I wanted to....

So here I stay

Hey NBG

I found that I slip once and a while (until I learn how to deal with my triggers properly)

My motto has been to not beat myself up about it. Stress def makes me want to smoke sometimes, but for the most part I've gotten over it I think. I used to have one of those counters in my sig, but found that it put more pressure on me than I liked. Kind of like telling everyone you quit and then if/when you do snap and light one up you never hear the end of it. As long as you don't give up on yourself you'll get back to where you want to be.

Thanks Maureen. I noticed mine was missing yesterday and am now deciding what to put there. I am taking the counters off too. I noticed now that the main time I want to smoke is just that....a trigger. Usually a meal, or I am bored or something like that. So far so good!

 

[maureengill]

I'm thankful because I seem to have gotten rid of most of my triggers, but weirdly enough...smoked a real cig on the last two sunday's for some reason. I'm not going to stress about it though. I decided that I'm a cheater...not a smoker

Eatting has quit being a trigger..but driving is one for me! It seems that once I get in a car..I gotta vape! Sitting at the computer is bad too. I try to snack on sunflower seeds or crunchy veggies..sometimes I fall back on sugar free candy! I don't need anything in the morning unless we go somewhere.
Hang in there Nevada. It gets better.
