It's a big day as I cut down my e-liquid from 1.8 mg to 1.2 mg - today I have the practice day! I need to practice because I need to know that I will be okay at work tomorrow with less nicotine. So, it's going to be interesting. I know one thing though - If I struggle I do have some 1.8 mg liquids left so I will go back - I do not want to be tempted to buy cigarettes so I'll do what I have to to get through.
NOT HAVING COME THIS FAR - oh yes, it's the PIPPS 4 week anniversary today and I am so happy we have reached this point!!!
Thank you everybody for your massive support, advice, inspiration and motivation and let's face it, many laughs over the past few weeks - I simply wouldn't have done it without you, you have been absolutely amazing.
The journey continues but it is such a relief to reach the first milestone, although I know I will never give up giving up, I just absolutely love being a non-smoker.
Big Hugs to everybody and thank you
Love Chrissie xxx

How are you getting on with reducing the nicotine? I am struggling with it for some reason, but not sure if it is just my brain playing tricks with me. x
Well as usual you never cease to amaze me - well done for you resisting hon, and I absolutely mean that. I honestly can't say what I would have done in that situation - I hope I would talk myself out of it like you did but I just don't know. I know I would be absolutely furious with myself if I did, especially after all the hard work but moments like that can really ruin everything, I would be devastated and you would have too.
Re reducing the nicotine - well if I'm honest, I find the difference in the flavour disappointing - it's like you say I'm just not getting the hit like I used to - it's a bit like puffing fresh air! Although I remember that this company have a stronger version of the same flavour - so I think I might invest in some of that just to see if it's true and if I still get that hit with the lower strength in nicotine. Once I've had a few puffs though I do feel better, just like I did with the stronger version - so I think I'm getting nicotine so I will carry on in the meantime (I won't get back to my little shop until the weekend) and just see how it goes but if I don't feel great I will go back up!
I'm feeling fed up for a couple of reasons today so I'm trying not to blame it on the drop in nicotine (yet!)
Anyway, Paris sounded amazing - you are so so lucky, I wish I could have done something like that this weekend!

Aup Chrissie a massive big well done to you gal for getting to where you are today and reducing your nicotine intake I too have dropped to patch 2 now, and have found it a bit harder today but wey flippin hey I've munched on a few more lozengers, but will cut them down during the week, hopefully
As for you being fed up gal, sooooooo am I, its been a long flippin Monday on a Tuesday eh
I couldn't get online earlier, Danielle pinched my laptop to take it into the kitchen to make some cookies for her boyfriend! Actually it's been nice, I've had a lovely soak in the bath followed by a bit of tv so nice and relaxing
And yes, it's been a long day But never mind, a good night's sleep will make it better xx

I cant fault you one little bit Chrissie, you enjoyyyyyyyy your sleep gal xx
Hi Chrissie thanks for the reply, and the advice further down, I am just going straight back on the full strength nicotine for now, as feel I may end up back on the smokes if I dont! I am a bit annoyed but I cant return to fags again, so this has to be a better option. Just makes me worry that I am never going to get of the nicotine x
ps I forgot to say, if you still have the higher nic liquid fill your e-cig up with the lower one and then just top it up with the higher one - so you are not going right back to the higher one. It should at least improve the flavour and give you a bit of a hit but you are still on reduced nicotine. xx )
