Four days of little to no sleep, being stressed and trying to keep the house warm while a new HVAC system was installed (don't even ask about the cost, I might not respond in a positive manner!), with Spring break going on, the the wife deciding to take the last half of the week off because she thought she was going to London, just to find out she is now going to Geneva and trying to install new doors, that have been in a garage (unfinished and lying down) in a VERY unsquare house.
I NEEDED a REAL one!
Now it seems like I am whining, I am a bit, sorry. But my point is LIFE HAPPENS! Now I might give you a hard time if you slip up, it's OK! REALLY! We all do what we have to and make the best of it, learn and try not to do it again!
Now if Leaford had the new flavors I wanted done, I might have made it this week, but he failed (I know it's a cop-out, but I feel better taking others down with me! I'm really not a nice person!) But they were not ready, and I failed!

So, for those of you that freak out, can't take it anymore, are driving the ones you love to the looney farm. RELAX!! IT'S REALLY OK!! Even the folks that have been here a day or two relapse, we just have to pick up and make it better the next time!

Saw - you slipped you DIDN'T FAIL.

You only failed if you smoked two packs and chucked your e-cig in the trash ;)

(I know it's a cop-out, but I feel better taking others down with me! I'm really not a nice person!)

:lol: We know that's not true

I can totally understand the whole stress thing even before I quit aw few days ago HIGH STRESS days always caused me to hit the analogues more.

came close on wednesday night to joining you sawlight.. painting inside of our house and its not the easiest job because of the height in some areas but anyways i was moving a gallon of paint that i did not mix yet but the lid was off, i guess i moved to fast and the watery mixture on the top of the can shifted and came over the top like a tsunami ... all over my jeans the carpet made a solid 2 ft line and when it hit the carpet and splashed all over the place of course.... took my jeans off so i didnt track white paint all through the house, grabbed a fresh pair of jean and vapor and scubbed like a madman for about an hour... if vapor was not around i would have gone to the store and grabbed some smokes.... i would find two suppliers for what you want just incase somebody is out of something or they ship you the wrong stuff.....

also having an emergency stash would probably be a good idea, have to make up one myself

Yes, at times like this it is important to remember all the cigs you HAVEN'T smoked! And I heartily second being sure you have enough of your favorites stacked up in case of emergency! I can't tell you how important that is! I am super stocked up on my fave cartos and the corresponding juice! When they finally get the 30m butterscotch juice in - I will be getting a bunch!

Hang in there Saw! :)

Agree with everything said here. And one more thought to add. I figure that even if the best a person could do was smoke HALF as many cigs and vape the rest of the time, you would still be a winner because that would be half as many cigs that aren't going into your lungs! As someone (well, many) have said ... any cig not smoked is a good cig! I would venture to say that a lot of us are still not 100% free (present company included) but as long as you are vaping way more than smoking ... you are a winner in my books. Carry on, my wayward son. (I love that song!)

Don't be so down on yourself, Saw - most all of us have been there. I have not completely given up the cigs and tried to really beat myself up over it, but on the flip side, I'm proud of how far I've come and all that I do not smoke. It gives you a bigger appreciation of the wonderful V4L products! While I don't post a lot here, I do read a lot, and you are an inspiration to so many, and a big help. Hang in there!
