If you fall off the horse you get back on the saddle. Dont make yourself feel bad or guilty we are only human, I still am on the analogs myself trying to stop or at least slow down but by gosh at least we try don't we? Take care and dont punish yourself sounds like a stressful day. I am sorry for your loss. God bless

I wish! The wife and I agreed I would go out to even vape. So I'm going to get cold no matter what:oops:

It's none of my business, of course, but that sounds counter-productive. I mean, if you have to go out either way, aren't you more likely to want to smoke?

It seems like it would be more of a "reward" do be able to vape indoors. If you want to stink everything up, then you have to go outside.

Like I said, it's none of my business.

Yes and no, I want to get off cigs and at least lower my nicotene intake. If I just sit fat dumb and happy on the couch vaping away, yes I'm a bit better off, but traded one habit for another.
The reward is I get to vape in the cars with my son onboard. I never smoked with him in the truck with me, and I could never smoke in her van.

One step at a time and one day at a time. That is how this process works. There are lots of other addictions involved with cigs than just the nicotine. Take your time, you know the path, it's just a matter of staying on it and if you venture off from time to time, that's ok because you know the answer is there for you. We all do this at our own pace and sometimes life just gets in the way. You'll be fine.

I want to add my condolences.

Also, being around family can really stress a person out, you not only have your own stress to deal with, but an atmosphere like that really can make a person wiggy. Once things are leveled out, you'll do much better. This is a huge lifestyle change for all of us when we start.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH........ Life is SO MUCH BETTER on 36mg!!!! I got my new order in this afternoon with all the high and 36mg fixings, And is much more tolerable now!
I haven't had an analog since 4am Sunday, when I finally woun down enough to go to sleep.
I've yet to try the Hilton I ordered, but I have to say everything I've heard about the Parliment, isn't even close to describing it! WOW!! I like smoking, I enjoy the taste and flavor of tobbaco, this stuff is so wickedly close it's scary!
I am much better now, I just hope Christmas doesn't drop any more suprises than it already has!

I, too, am sorry for your loss.
If it makes you feel any better - I just finished 1/2 analog reading your post.

We all fall off the bandwagon, it's just a fall. You get up, dust off your pants and go again. You are not a failure. A failure is someone who doesn't get back up, someone who doesn't try.

You are a hero, but not a failure.

I will say a prayer for you and yours tonight. Blessed journeys.

Again, thank you all, but she was 92, had lived a wonderful life! The last time I saw her she was in a hospital, blood clots the size of fried eggs and having congestive heart failure. She was weak and frail, it was a said state for such a proud and powerful woman! She made a point to catch me alone and make sure to tell me to "take care of your family". She knew.
We made another trip to see her, 100 miles each way, just so she could see out 4yo son, I thought it was very important, but she slept the entire time we were there.
I can rest at ease knowing we tried, my wife is happy she is no longer in pain, and we both feel there isn't anything she would have changed!
Saddley, there is no sorrow from us, she knew it was time and she was more than ready to go. While the condolances are nice, they are certainly not needed, no matter where she is, I know she is happy and spreading joy! She might even be the spirit of my wifes brothers baby, that we just found out about at Thanksgiving!
No sorrow here, thank you! That is how this woman would want it!

Now Leaford, I think I have you two, maybe three new customers, I went ad worked on a truck for a guy after working on a house (don't ask) and he took me to Applebee's for a drink:rolleyes: and the staff was blown away, you guys need to include more damn cards!!! I was writing left and right on scratch paper giving the web site! They all wanted to know about it and asked the difference between this and what they "sold at the mall" (NJOY). It didn't take much explination to convince them this was much better! Then with the glowing reviews I gave the CSR team the were really excited! THEN they found out I hadn't had an analog in ove 24hrs (these people have known me a while:cool:) they were sold:lol:

Sawlight - never feel that you have failed. You are on a journey, every now and then, you will wander but just get back on the path and you will find your destination. :)

Quoting from Kung Fu Panda: "Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift and that is why it is called the Present." ;)

One step at a time and it sounds like you're already back on track!!! Congrats! :thumbs:

Ah yes, the Parliament 36mg cartos are fabulous; they're one of my favorite vapes with my morning coffee. They taste the most like cigarettes me, but maybe that's because I actually did smoke Parliaments! I don't miss them.
