After a couple of weeks from H&*l. I've almost dropped to the point I was at before vaping. Everything I've tried to do is almost gone. Back up to almost 2 packs a day for a bit. Can't breath, anxiety attacks, lets throw in a concusion on top of all that. Ok no pitty!!!!!!!!!! I'm a grown man and also an adult. (least that what my DL says.). I've been turned in for "using a e-cig" in my own car, while sitting in a parking lot of the campus. OMG the world will end for that poor person. If I can make it through the rest of the month I'll have a new job at a vapor shop in Oklahoma. They want me. (i don't want to go to far because of the mods and the rules). I'll be getting my gear together this weekend to turn back in. I'm to old and to tired to fight em anymore. I have to make sure to pay it forward to a lady I work with. I got some juice she and her other half may like. I've gone to the VP of HR and they don't care. Well neither do I. Let em have it. What I prayed for and got wasn't what I thought it was gonna be. But then no one can tell the future. Whew I feel better now. So let the New Year start off right............. Vape on Brothers and Sisters. Live a good long happy life. Especially for those that you love and treasure. Hold em tight cause you never know when they will not be there.:)

I believe your signature reads " If I stumble and fall, I will get back up. I will never give up !" As a recovering alchoholic and addict I cannot tell you how many substances I've walked away from. (The moderators would sensor me if I tried). But Tobacco was unquestionably one of the hardest. Vaping worked for me, but I had to STOP SMOKING and switch to vaping entirely. That's just my experience, which is all I can honestly offer. If you should try again, walk away from the analogs and just vape for about 6- 8 weeks. That's how I made it !

TnT I hope youre not planning on doing something incredibly stupid and selfish right now.Im concerned about this post and about you my friend.

Losing this job could be the best thing thats ever happened to you.Just remember everything happens for a reason and God, Fate, The gods whatever you prefer never gives you more than you can handle even though it might not seem like it at the time.

No worries. I've got and struggled and kicked so many addictions but the analogs are the hardest. When I start to get the PLEASURE of working for a local vapor shop I believe in my own heart and sole that I will succed in my quest. I have concerns like every one would. Just like after 27 years and 5 months before I was "termenitaded do to reduction in head count". I lacked 5 months before I could retire. This couple will hire me tomorrow for my knowledge and the way I've treated strangers while I was still a customer in their shop. All I want to do is help someone before they have to suffer what I've had to. Vape and be strong. Smoke and die. We all got two choices. Live or Die. I pick number ONE everytime. I'm gonna survive. I've got a lady that I want to spend the rest of my life with and want to take across country on my BMW. She love to ride almost as much as I do. (and i can charge an ego from the aux plug.)
The profile pic is from a 5 state run and it was 32 dewgrees when we left. it got all the way up to 38 when we got through. So yea I got a lot to do.

Yep I stumble and I fall. That's how I survive. I get back up. (sadly to say at this age it just takes longer to get up)

Hi tnt,
Hang in there. I've had a hellish month too recovering from a car accident. I think its great you can work for a vape store. Not being able to vape at work is difficult. Being turned in for vaping in your car is over the top I think. Is there anyway you can go where you are not not on campus property? Like across a street or something. I know that's not ideal - just wondering.
You're a great guy - a month will be over soon.

So you're not quitting vaping right? You're just switching jobs to a happier and more fulfilling one in a vape shop in your town. Phew, I thought you were throwing in the towel on vaping LOL. Congratulations! Life is too short to stay in a job that is cutting your life short with all of the stress you've been experiencing lately.

You'll still be around especially if your work is connected with the vaping community.

Just and F.Y.I TnT if you care to pursue it but in many states your car even its sitting on a school campus is considered private property.You might have a case here and I would definitely talk to a lawyer.

Who knows if you win and they offer a settlement you could end up being part owner of that brick and mortar. :)

The only way you can stop me from vaping is to pry my cold stiff hands from my provari or whatever is in my hand at the time right along with my gun. LOL When you think about it going back to a pack a day and still vaping is a WHOLE lot better than 3 packs a day and no vaping. After all it's not the ones we smoke but the ones we didn't. Give me a Huraaaa Raaaay.

You are doing the right things as far as i have seen from your posts and that is venting, speaking up and being honost. Ecf is really good for that and you are using it plus you have spirit so hang in there. All will be good I dug myself into pit so deep like I never imagined before. It was the alcoholism thing. The hopelessness despair loss of any self esteem. I look back and realize how dangerously bad things really were. I spent 6 years getting, in 7 weeks, 3 years sobriety. Your smoking with COPD is pretty dangerous stuff too but at least you won't have to deal with the psychotic effects of alcohol abuse. It changes your personality, I called my poisons pity. Its worth all the struggle and extreme frustration you are in when it gets good. Something that helps when your brain is running in high gear and you can't settle down, at night anyway, is simply taking two Dramamine. Hangover is tiny, unless you get up to go pee then you can be a little clumsy stupid, and it's harmless...however I'm not a Dr. And you need to be sure it won't cause some breathing deficit due to your COPD. Yup, when your fried and wanna die. Take Dramamine! Good luck

Hang in there, tnt. In the words of Steppenwolf, "It's never too late, to start all over again."

In the words of Motley Crue..

"Girls, Girls, Girls Long legs and burgundy lips Girls, Dancin' down on Sunset Strip Girls Red lips, fingertips"

Hope you feel better TNT.
