Will it make me a failure.....

[lilith79]

I think that it won't be horrid if you do use analogs to get you through, might be just the thing to remind you how nasty they are.

Some 7-11's sell kits and maybe even disposables.

And if you have to smoke while you wait, maybe get some analogs you don't like. It won't make you a failure if you switch right back to vaping. I had to smoke when I had 3 no-charged-battery issues early on. I don't like the emergency cigs I have around so they were pretty gross so I was very happy when I got my stuff running again. I also ordered a crapload of batteries and charger and PTs so that won't happen again.

You are not a failure but I would just try as hard as I could not to smoke if quitting smoking was the goal. Quitting is so darn hard that once I did it for one day I was scared to pick up a smoke because I know me.

I am new here...but I read about a Pay It Forward forum or something...maybe someone can direct you there. Where are you? Maybe someone can help you out.

Well i forgot what video or website i went too but as per what message relayed to me was " An e-cig is not a replacement for a real cig. An e-cig only curbs the cravings for a real cig, so if you feel like having a real one go ahead. Nothing is wrong with have 1 or 2 or so on as long as you are cutting down. If you have it in your head that real cigs are no longer allowed then you will want it even more." So that's what helped me. I started as half a pack to a pack a day, but since I started e cig first week was maybe 1-4 real cig a day then it was 1-2 then none for the week but on weekends i give it to it because I am surrounded by smokers so I will have 1-4 for the weekend then on the weekday I will have none just Vaping.

Chew gum till you get it.

I had tried one of those disposable ones from 7-11, I was in a pinch and it worked pretty good. If you pick a pack o' cigs it's ok, just the fact that you are debating what to do shows that you are in the zone. What used to be instinct is no longer so don't worry about, you are still way ahead of the curve.

Sometimes the eCigs are well hidden at the gas stations and 7-11s... Ask for them if you don't see them... they are often behind the counter out of view... it's an odd way to sell something, but hey, they would rather sell cancer sticks.

Now, regarding a few analogs to get you through... There are plenty of folks you will encounter in life that seem to be on a mission to break your spirit... it's a part of the deal... the ONE person you should always be able to count on to nurture and encourage you is YOUR SELF!

Don't beat yourself up! A pack of cigs or two is not going to kill you... A Lifetime of them is quite another thing. You will eventually learn to have backups of stuff on hand, and if by chance you find yourself stuck without a working eCig in spite of that, just go with the flow. If it takes an analog to get you through, don't stress yourself out over it.

Be gentle with yourself... the world already has too many critics.

I agree with eGo Maniac, he knows what he is talking about. After all, he has been vaping for over 41 years according to his sig!

Although I've never seen it on this or any other forum, would rubbing a little juice into the skin provide enough nic to tide one over until an order came in? When a little juice gets on my lips or tongue, it doesn't taste super bad, nor cause me any other problems.

I would not recommend doing that at all. Would be much safer to go out and get a Nicotine Patch or some gum to hold you over until your PV gets there.

Ok....deep breath and then read this http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/151337-chronology-noob.html

You'll be laughing so hard, you'll forget about the cigs!

PS....do what you need to, to get thru.
You'll be ok, and be back vaping very soon.

 

[mlinky]

Do whatever you need to do, and realize that it is temporary. There is no reason to stress about it.

 

[eyegirl]

Crisis averted- I found a cheap o disposable at a gas station that will do the trick. Soooo glad I came here first though cause I wasn't even thinking clearly at first! LOL- thanks again to the support!

 

[The Big Chief]

dont stress it regardless....if ya puff a ciggy, you just remind yourself what you're not missing, so no biggy ....waitin on that ego...I feel for ya

 

[FreakyStylie]

23 X 365 = 8,395 days of smoking. A couple more is really no big deal. Don't stress about it, it will just make you want a cigarette.
