Is there an e-cigarette equivalent for alcohol?

[Hbuddha]

Hello,

Does someone know of a replacement for alcohol ?

I accidentally started vaping and was never on the look out to really quit cigarettes, which I have. And now I am enjoying it - I don't think without knowing about e-cigarettes I would have ever been able to get on this path.

Now, I want to get off of alcohol but I don't know what can help me. I went cold turkey for a month - but not longer. The taste of scotch/bourbon and the feeling I get as I take a sip is too hard to give up. So I am looking to get off my Scotch and whiskies which I consume neat/on the rocks. Any suggestions please ?

@mod - sorry if this is a wrong-ish questions for a vaping discussion board - please delete if the question isn't following the accepted guidelines and stuff.

Cheers,

I don't know if it will help, there are many adult beverage flavored e liquids.
Several that are quite accurate, of course taste is an individual preference / subjective.

As far as replacing the 'feeling' consuming alcohol gives, I doubt it.

How neat would that be if someone could replicate all the joys of drinking like that minus the drunk effect!
I know what you mean, that alcohol version of a throat hit. You'd become a billionaire if you could do it. Alas im not that scientifically gifted.

seriously.....

It might sound silly but... I have been drinking kombucha with either ginger turmeric, or ginger cayenne. This stuff burns good when it hits your throat. And 50 calories in 1 bottle.

I hope you find something that works for you.

Agreed.

Thing is, unless you are ready to quit, it's not going to happen. Best thing to do though is check out some meetings. Most of what you hear isn't going to make sense at first, over time it will.

Just go, sit, and LISTEN. Honestly, it took me going to AA to stop, but I was ready to. I just wasn't able to do it on my own. It was a last resort for me, but it's the only thing that ever worked for me.

Good luck. If you want to stop and can't (sounds like it), then you should at least check out a few meetings.

Nicotine addiction and alcohol addiction is apples to oranges. Perhaps with support from others and self control you can turn that 30 days into years. Wishing the best if you choose to take the journey.

Antabuse (disuliram), not as pleasant as vaping but you most likely not consume alcohol more than one time while using it.

I was able to thwart urges for alcohol by using sweetened items during the day like juicy fruit gum or starbursts.

By doing that during the day my evening cravings for the sugars in alcohol had been curbed.

I told my alcoholic brother about it and he chose jelly beans, which worked for him. We both ended up spending the cost savings at the dentist but I'm 20+ years sober and he's in year 5.

The best solution i ever had was to start drinking the most expensive Scotch i could find off the shelf. I went through many different brands. During this time i decided that any Scotch with peat in it was a no no, just tastes dirty. Love The Mcallan, best of the best !.

Now, my absolute favourite is Glenfiddich 18, 15's pretty good too, the 12, just a little bitter and it's reflected in the price.

What i do hate are cheap blends. Why are they so popular ?, because they're cheap !!!. Jack Daniels, Teachers, Bells, Grouse, JB etc all taste like crap and are about £15 per litre !.


Glenfiddich 18 costs about £60 for 700ml.

The point is that you'll drink a lot less of the expensive stuff, because it's so expensive. Works for me, totally neat !.

Here's some interesting reading for those who might be interested in authentic Scotch Whisky.

Someone with an actual alcohol problem will simply go broke much faster using this method.

JMO... But one thing I'll mention is to Me, AA Meetings are like Restaurants.

All AA meetings are there to do the Same Thing. But just like Restaurants, some are Great, some are Average, some are So-So, and some are not so hot.

Because an AA Meeting is only as Good as the People who go to that Meeting.

So if you go to a Meeting and you're not exactly thrilled with it, Go to Another Meeting. Just like you would if you went to a Restaurant and the Food was not so great.

Another thing, If you go to a Meeting and you hear someone speak and you like what they have to say, ask them at the Break, or after the meeting, what are other Good Meetings that they like to go to?

AA Works. I'll have 7 Years in May. But like Most things in Life, you Get Out of it what you Put Into it.

Thank you.

The beginning was kinda Rocky. Could Never have done it on my own. And then at about a Year, that voice started to come back. But I had Tools in my Tool Box by then that I could pull out and Bash that voice.

After Two Years, it just became something that I Don't do anymore. Don't Miss it. And I Don't have any desire to try it again.
