Trying to jump back on the wagon

[maureengill]

So...I decided to finally go for the jump back on the wagon and hopefully I won't fall flat on my face.

With the death of my two nephews in the last 18 months I found myself struggling (especially after the last one at the end of September) to not smoke. I was up to a pack a day (still down from the two packs I smoked before trying to quit the first time) and my smokers cough came back. I've really been stressed out along with the sadness and depression. It's been a struggle to even want to try again. Yesterday morning I pulled out my Provari and with a pack of open smokes on the passengers seat decided I'm ready to hop back in... Unfortunately my boyfriend of six+ months helped my downslide because he and the people we hang out with are major smokers. It was easier to just bum a smoke or buy a pack and go about my business.

One day down...and feeling okay so far on day two...I think that the weekend is going to be the tough test for me because even last time I tried to quit I gave myself a green light on weekends. I'm hoping this time I can put on the red light and stick to my guns....wish me luck

...P.S. Thanks to the FSUSA family for sticking with me...I lub you guys...EVEN TT

YaY!!!! I'm very happy you're back in the driver's seat with E-Cigs!

Good thing is, you don't have to hunt down your ADV, you already know what that is from the last time, so load up on your faves, and make that Pro-Vari sing!

Hugs and Happy Thoughts coming your way Maureen. I believe in you!

Stick to your guns maureen. If you want to quit, you will. Stress is a trigger for all of us. Hugs to you.

Hugs! I hear ya with the stress, I nearly caved today after just over a month smoke free. Luckily my mailman arrived with some new flavours for me to try from china lol. I've had a painful & stressful 2 weeks and some minor surgery and hhis morning I really felt like I could just go and get myself a pack of smokes. So glad I didn't I posted about my weak moment and the ECF crew jumped on my thread to keep me focussed!! I love you guys!! Stay strong xo

Maureen - You can do it! That said, please try to not be influenced by your boyfriend and the people you hang with. Have you told them that you want to quit smoking?

MG to echo everyone else...
Take it one day at a time. Since you are (and hang out with) heavy smokers I would use at least 24mg juice.
Plus try a desertship or burly type e-juice. Kind of dry, not so sweet tasting...for a cigarette type feel.

Good luck
Don

You can do it, Divine Miss M. I know it's hard (my husband is a smoker) but it so worth it. And Doublemint tastes so much nicer than cigarettes.

Thinking of you always.

Good luck... hang in there and stay tuff and you can do it. I figure if I can, anyone can

 

[Celebran]

Maureen you can do this, don't beat yourself up if it takes longer than you may like, just don't give up on yourself.

i am sorry for your loss. this is my first time back in almost a year too. i don't know the reason i started smoking again (its been so long and do i really need an excuse?) but i put down cigarettes again today and picked up my ego. at least i have a stockpile of very well steeped FSUSA juice. humm my hypnotic mist is dark amber.....

 

[mauisun]

good going bubba2u stick with it, your steeped juices will be awesome

 

[div]

Hang in there Maureen...we're here for you always.
hugs

You are back because you know in your heart it is what is best for you. We all go through hard times, it is part of life. We don't like it, it ain't fair, and all of that. However, even in our pain, though not at the moment, there is something for us to learn.

Don't allow that pain or guilt to keep you living in the past. It is a trap. Be gentle with yourself.

Remember your loved ones, keep them close to your heart, keep living and loving.

My best for you and yours.
