Stressed ... but not going back!

[mama]

It has been a busy week.

First test of not being able to vape when I wanted to.

I took a CPR/First Aid class (close to 5 hours). I was actually able to make it through quite easily without climbing the walls! Didn't even have the urge to kill the dummy, lol. Would never have been able to do that when I was smoking. I would have gone outside 4 or 5 times and that would not have been enough!

The stress comes in because it is tax time for me. (I always file an extension so my check comes in time to pay for heat for the winter). Usually I smoke about 3 packs a day for the 3 or 4 days it takes to get all my electronic files, receipts, inventory, etc. together for 2 businesses, and have it all make sense for the accountant ... I DID NOT SMOKE ANY!!

So, I'm a bit stressed, but I made it through so far without reaching for that pack of analogs. Still have a couple more days till I'm finished, but feel like I can actually do this.

Good for you! I do find that I can NOT vape if am in a situation where I can't. I am not in a panic like I would have been if I was still smoking.
Futher proof that the habit has been broken! Now it's a guilty pleasure..
Now you just have to get a file or 12 and start filing that stuff as it comes in. That way next year won't be a week long mess! Mike does it by month, he treats bills like a job and sets aside time to organize them each month. Of course Mike is nuts.

I know ... i know ...

Hubby has been telling me that for 25 years. Still can't seem to get it together until I absolutely have to. Maybe this year will be the year ....

But the good news is that you didn't cave! Good onya! I had a very stressful month and vaped my head off. I did have several hours a day that I couldn't vape. I can't believe I didn't smoke.

I can't wait to get to that point. I never thought I would be able to quit analogs, but after starting vaping one week ago I see hope in sight. I ran out of cartridges today and immediately started smoking more analogs. I order some more juice and can't wait to start vaping again and stop smoking for good. I finally feel like I can do it.
