Rough Day

[KJ22]

Rough but good day too, I've been analog free for 2weeks and 2 days, today I had to communicate with my ex which would normally send me into a chain smoking ice cream eating binge but after upping my nic strength a bit I managed to avoid going out and buying a pack and/or stopping by the nearest Braums! Yea!! I'm pretty proud of me!

Bravo!!! I'm proud of you too.

You did good! You made it through. (Although the ice cream part sounds really good right now ) I bet you the next rough day won't nearly be as rough.

I'm proud of you too! I was supposed to quit analogs this past Tuesday, but I caved Wednesday morning since I was frustrated. I'm happy to say that I haven't had one since. I felt so guilty afterward. How do you keep from picking up an analog? I try to think about all the money (and the lungs) that I'll save by staying away.

Way to go! Yay! More power to ya!

How do I keep from picking one up? Remembering how nasty those last couple tasted (I had to finish up every analog I had in my possession... if I had it, I hadda smoke it... no matter how nasty they were tasting compared to caramel, red bull and all the other delicious flavors I was vaping! But seriously, I remember how yukky it tasted, and love having taste buds again (I can back it down to 11 alarm chili again, don't need to make it 19 alarm)! I don't wanna kill 'em again and risk it!

Thank You All!!!! I keep from picking up the analog by 1. just not giving in and buying them and 2. I am just so thrilled that I and my house don't smell like analog's anymore that I simply refuse to give in. Its not easy every day but it is some days, today it was a hard day not to give in....maybe tomorrow will be easier.

For me I just put off that Analog. Figured if I really needed it I would have it later. Also banned smoking in the house everywhere but one spot. Ended up having one in the morning and one at night. Then I skipped the morning one. Then I skipped an entire day. When I went to have the evening one the next day, it tasted terrible. I too, remember that the last one was so unsatisfying I tossed the rest of the pack.

Now, it doesn't mean I don't have the odd craving. I still do but they are fading. I remind myself that it's not the nicotine just the habit calling once and awhile. I don't even crave an Analog or a vape right away in the morning like I used to.

By the way........Pomegranate from DFWvapor is so yummy I think it may be better than the ice cream I skipped!!

 

[Curvychic]

Hahahahah! I completely understand! I didn't realize how much salt I had to add to all of my food (or let me say I didn't remember...I did quit about 6 years ago for 3 and 1/2 years ago. Don't know why I ever picked the nasty things back up.) Plus, I love to sing...use to be a KJ (Karaoke host)...but analogs and singing don't go well together....especially Newport's. I'm happy to be a vaper. My kiddos are happy too. I was just reading another post about how vaping can be tedious and "techie", and while it may be easier to pick up an analog, I think I'd rather get the hang of vaping to save my life and the little lives around me that I'm responsible for. Good luck to everyone!

KJ, congratulations on finding your willpower and NOT going back to the analogs, today!!! I almost had to go back to them, since my Xhale broke, but I bought another one and will upgrade to a Riva510 after payday. Keep your chin up, and keep up the great work!
