I'm not a troll

[P2PLeon]

How has the battle been these last 41 days?
More vaping than smoking I hope.

Happy Spring

Nope, just the usual more puffing than tooting.

Although if I can get on with vaping then no need to be lighting one up in future.

We are the choices we make.

I genuinely think WTA could help you, for example. I'm not sure I could have switched without it, or without killing someone at least.

When I first discovered WTA...it was so expensive (Aroma) that I just kept it in one Tank...and would just do 8-10 puffs 5-6 times a day...

Then I ran across Umbavape's WTA which, when on SALE, is close to the price of many just-plain-nicotine-only ejuices...

Now...I keep half the Tanks in my At Home "Rotation" filled with WTA...and just vape whichever I'm feeling like in the moment...

You're getting there!

With each passing day, I find it harder to just Vape.

I do not know why, but I think I do not want to quit smoking.

Must try harder to quit them cancer-causing sticks.

I also need to change my mindset to what I had previously when doing 42 days.

I just wish I never picked it up again. Yes, there have been times I Done a day or two.

But need to get my thinking corrected by you good folks.

 

[Zazie]

Why do you think you keep on deciding to pick up a cigarette instead of your vape? What do you think it is about smoking that makes you revert to it so easily? Maybe identifying what drives you to return to it again and again will help you resist the urge when it hits you.

I really wish the switch in your head that controls the impulse would simply turn from on to off. I know that whenever I have managed to change a behavior I don't like but keep on practicing, there is this moment when I'm saying to myself--for the zillionth time, it can feel like--"I don't want to do this anymore," and then another saner, smarter, sterner voice responds matter-of-factly, "Well, then don't." And that's it: the thing I don't want to do becomes instead a thing I do not do, no matter what. I wish that could happen for you.

Keep at it.

That could indeed make things difficult.

 

[mintymints]

why after all these years are you still smoking,i dont get it leon, its time to man-up and just go for it!

Really like your new signature banner...will keep my eye on it to see how you're doing...

I think some people simply cannot dual use. As long as they allow themselves to smoke at all, they will never stop. If this is the case for you, you've just got to be really tough with yourself. No smoking, period. Vape till you're blue in the face, but no smoking.

It will be hard.

If any of you are from ukvapers.org, you will know my story. I have been trying to get back to a time that I had done 42 days off cigarettes with vaping. But that was over 2 years ago. And I would like to get back there. I have been having a hard time at said forum as Each time I state that I will vape, I tend to go back to smoking and My possible reason for doing so is that it is not cutting it for me.

I have had countless support there but they keep stating about using high nic in an mtl tank. I cannot get along with them as I have used the Aspire Nautilus mini and Digiflavour Siren V2. I use rebuildables to save on money.

My go to tank is the Youde Bellus V1. with peach 6mg/ml. I have quite a large collection of do-it-yourself concentrates. And have 3.7L of 72mg Nicotine.

The reason why I have not posted in over 2 years is that I thought ukvapers would be my home for everything. So I also created a forum for myself and others at MVR Forum.

I know you need tough love to get someone to do as you need them to do something, but as I have paranoid schizophrenia, it is hard to break my habit of smoking. I know that I can and should but it is the very first few days that I find the hardest to continue.

All I want to do is to keep posting about my vaping journey and have support by members stating keep it going or you are doing good. I cannot any longer get this from ukvapers as It takes forever to get a reply. And with me having endless threads there I am seen as a troll when I fall of the wagon.

I would like users here to egg me on and that is all I wanted in the first place.

Not giving up is the first step. We're here! I also drift. As of right now I'm vaping on 12mg eliquid on an Aromamizer plus and keep 2 cigarettes on my nightstand. Reason is, I'm going through a very stressful negociacion over an estate with cousins. That has my nerves in shreds, but that's no excuse. So I loaded up one of my fav attys with my fav eliquid (watermelon candy) and I'm browsing through the forum trying to take my mind off all the things.
One thing, please, if you're medicated, don't wane off meds without your doctor's help!
We're here!!!

That is the wrong way to think of it. I've always said, vaping is NOT a 1:1 replacement for smoking. smoking contains over 2000 chemicals, and nicotine is only one of the addictive chemicals in it (albeit the most addictive one). When I quit smoking, I was at a pack per day, and through vaping, I dual used. 3 cigarettes per day when I started vaping. I did that for a few months. I would slowly ween myself off smoking.... allow myself to vape inside, and smoke only outside. I would challenge myself to go further.. just a few minutes longer before I light up a cigarette, or let me try vaping first before I light up.... Eventually, the three turned to one. It's been several years since my last personal challenge.

I think of vaping not as a smoking cessation device, but more like an aid to help you stop smoking... it still takes some effort. My mother in law had to quit via Chantix, but started vaping AFTER she stopped with Chantix.... she vapes zero nic juice. You'll have to find what works for you. Reading some of your earlier posts, it sounds like you got close... so you know it's possible. Just keep it up.

 

[stols001]

Well, this guy is proving he can dual use.

He's being sort of successful at it.

What I am wondering is if he can STOP dual using. Original poster, I get you aren't a TROLL but the approach you are using is NOT helping. It's kind of like Groundhog Day, this thread. I hated that movie SO MUCH.

PLEASE take some suggestions. PLEASE.

Done 7 hours without one. So 7 hours is still a win.

 

[EIHYPI]

Of course it's a win. I understand it's a big struggle for you. If you did seven hours once you can do it again. Have the same mindset going into the next seven hours and soon the time will compile before you know it.
