Day one (again)

[nsd_user663_56936]

I smoked from the age of 13 till I was 27. Six years ago, I quit. The first week was tough but then I had a sudden awakening and I was fine from there on out.

During those six years I never missed it but I did continue to smoke other (tobacco free) artefacts. So, while I'd gotten over the addiction to cigarettes, smoking was still in my life.

In November last year, a combination of some bad news and some new experiences triggered me to start again. I've stopped the other artefacts entirely but have been smoking rollies again for about 6 months now and the addiction has taken me under its dark wing once more.

But I'm stopping again as of right now. I will not be a slave.

Wish me luck.

It doesn't sound like you need luck Chimp, you've obviously sorted it in your head and you seem raring to go!!

Well done on chucking out all of the smoking related stuff. I'm sure this time it will make a huge difference if all that is out of your life from the start!

Welcome to the forum, by the way. Feel free to post anytime! :rolleyes:

Good luck!

I have vaping machines. But I know if I use them without tobacco oils then I'll just be enabling that feeling of "smoking" and would be more likely to go back to them. I quit too a long time ago (but not for six year wow!!!). I lost my BFF's dog and the dog didn't come back for 3 days. But in the meantime I started smoking again. Like a chimney.

I sold one of my vaping machines and bought a gentle leader for my young dog Arty (he likes to pull a little so we're retraining)! Think of all the things you want, little things. Buy one each week as a reward. I got two this week (because I sold the vape), a jumper and the gentle leader.

If you've done it once, I have faith you can do it again, and remember we're here if you need us!

welcome to the forum Chimp, congratulations on giving up other 'artefacts', i would imagine that you will find it easier with no forms of smoking at all. I look forward to hearing of your progress.

Welcome Chimp

I've only been here a few days, but have already learnt how welcoming and helpfully everybody here is.

So my only advice would be to come here often.
