kids are clever.they will understand mummys not very well.

when you wanna snap at them or angry with them Try think of the horrible feeling you have.try just stepping away and remember its not your fault or the childrens but a nasty habit trying to get you back 😈

Well done treacle1965 for doing an SOS - are you working at the moment, if you are, try and take 10 minutes or so to yourself (can use the time that you would have used for smoke breaks) if not and at home, do the same - ask yourself why you are short tempered and agitated, it more than likely is not because you are not smoking but that something else is bothering you but you usually smoked and thought it resolved and made the situation you were in better - smoking never solved one problem, it only creates problems - try some breathing techniques of taking long breathes, holding and releasing around 10 times, I promise you it works and rather than having a vape when in the situation have ice cold pint glass of water on stand by throughout and take a good sip when a strong craving appears.

You are over a month quit and doing so well, you can do this, treat yourself to some chocolate for Valentines :)

Post anytime and stay close to us, I will be around for the afternoon :)

Don't worry yourself, this is all pretty normal and vaping does take time to get used to. In the early days you should use it as much as you need to. 6mg is actually quite low indeed so you are doing better than you think.

Hang in there. Explain to the children that you are a bit prickly at the moment, they will understand. Keep using your Vale and do not lose heart. You really are doing a great job of it. Vale as much and as often as you need to.
