Stressed out like crazy and still vaping

[Eranda13]

This is one of those times when I would have smoked like a chimney. The significant other is moving out this weekend, the relationship is pretty much over. That means that money is about to get tighter at my house, and I'm going to have to go through the frustration of processing another break-up. Oh joy. Also, I just got some crappy results from a mammogram and a hip x-ray that will both need further testing and/or treatment- only three months after a cancer diagnosis at the age of 49. And the estimate to repoint my stone foundation came in at $3600, way more than I can spend.

A couple months ago I would have just smoked through it all, and I have to admit- immediately upon hanging up the phone when it was decided that he was leaving- I really wanted to just say the hell with it all and go buy some smokes.

But I didn't. I didn't smoke.

People are actually telling me that I *look* stressed, but I haven't smoked.

Yay me

You can make in threw without a analog. Up your Nic level if you need to to make in threw this difficult time.


Good Luck and feel better

You'll make it and, do it w/o smoking and, that will be one more piece of personal pride you get to smile about. They say what does not destroy us makes us stronger and, you are proving you are stronger simply by vaping and not smoking.

Nothing that a little more nicotine can't fix

Good luck to you.

Congrats to you for not giving in to the stinkys!

Sorry for the blows that life is giving you at the moment.
I do hope things get better for you.

Think about it this way though.
Now that you have cleared out the things that are not important.
You have room for the things that are important to you.
Good luck.

I just can't believe that vaping works so well that even under a lot of stress, I'm still... OK Yay and thanks fer yer support

I hope this doesn't sound patronizing, but I'm proud of you. I hope I have the same strength to stay away from the cigarettes when times are tough.

Wow! You go! I think many of us can agree that no one would fault you if you did have a smoke but the fact that you haven't says a lot about you! Especially considering the amount of stress you're under right now. You'll be in my prayers! Vape on!!

Sorry about your situation but that's great you vaped instead of smoked.

Go out to your local discotheque and find you a quick rebound! I know people say that's wrong. But whenever I went through a bad break up a nice rebound made me feel better.

Well considering the fact that the cancer I had was on my tongue, and directly related to smoking... well, the oral surgeon has told me NOT to smoke (DUH). I had my three month follow-up appointment with him last Monday and told him I hadn't had a cigarette since the one before I left the house the day he told me the spot he removed from my tongue was cancer. Told him I was vaping, showed him my gear and he was VERY happy with that Actually, he was the one who suggested it in the first place. But it was so nice to be able to go back and tell him proudly that I had NOT smoked even one drag of an analog since that day

Ugh, tomorrow is the day when the significant other is coming to move his crap out of my house. He might be surprised to find that I've already gathered up most of his stuff from throughout my house and consolidated it all on the dining room table and in an upstairs room LOL.

Kinda like DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE ... ON THE WAY OUT DUDE.

Hey on the upside, I've found that being single is better for your health. My chest pains stopped and headaches went away.




Or was that because I started vaping...
