My theory on this is that the pleasure of nicotine is actually short lived (weeks) but sets up a connection between smoking and 'reward' such that though the reward is empty it is associated with pleasure, with 'my time'. Like a trinket you kept from the girl or guy who gave you your first kiss ...
Hmm, but that doesn't quite explain the cravings
And why I can't seem to talk myself out of it ...
OMG I'm outta
juice!!
...So of the 40 a day, how many were for nicotine... I just always had one lit.
This E-cig is cool, I don't even want to smoke.. I'll just vape and wash everything that smells like tobacco. And maybe I'll dilute some juice and smoke "lite" and find out...
But I need to order some Juice, so I'll pick up a box of carts to get me by, order some juice, find some PG and some flavors.... I can vape some blanks here and there... a cart was lasting me all day, at first...
...I'm effectively out of juice, it should have been here yesterday! Damn! I have 2 njoy carts left... It's Friday, the mail should be here early... it's a holiday weekend... tracking says it's still in Louisville!!!... 4 ml of Pg in the bottle and ready for nic.... Both those carts are dry! Damn! I haven't smoked in a month! Why can't I do this? ....?.. I don't want to smoke.
wait a minute! .. I have nicotine! All that crap I was going to send to Senator Lugar from my varied attempts at quitting... Where is it?!
Smok-a-way came with some tablets.. where are they? Popped 3... then 4, chew 'em up! Oh, old Nicorette gum! UGGG! Nasty, no wonder it didn't work! Not to mention I could smoke and chew gum at the same time! ...Patches... "EXP" 2003", too slow... Commit Lozenges! already quartered! Disolve my ..., chew it up.
OHH! The mail! It's here, rip it open, in the house, mix, load the 4081 and the 401 vaped them both, 2 fisted... seriously... then had to take a nap.
Note to self: Order more niquid!
