I would share my little triumph! just got back from my first holiday in 40 yrs that didnt include ciggies. kept clean, bit hard at first, but didn't give in. kept vaping whilst sipping cold beer by pool getting a nice tan. yipee! ps six months now. wowee..

Hi Jules, well congratulations for your achievement, that's fantastic and so glad you enjoyed your hols without smoking. It just shows me how it can be done as I'm off in 2 wks time and like you it will be my first one not smoking. So if I'm tempted I'll just remind myself how well you did where were you?

[Briarwood Administrator Ducky]

Oh does that mean you will be getting a nice new badge as well as a tan?

[jules56]

Thanks briarwood. We went to. Southern Spain. Lovely and warm. And yes new badge on way. You have a good one too.you can do it without the ciggies, you can

Hi jules56, I congratulate you on your good work! Wasn't it nice to take in all that fresh air with that sunshine? Your lungs were just tickled pink I'll bet! Haha! Great job! Best of luck to you going on

[jules56 in reply to dustbunny]

Thanks yes. No coughing at all cause i usually would smoke more than normal on holiday and cough cough cough.

Thanks for checking in Jules, and giving me hope and happy thoughts that I might just get there and be able to do this too

I am so comforted to know that I could vape and sip beer in the sun. Going on hols at the end of May - Cuba, yippee! I have already been worrying about how to stay quite while sipping mojitos in a country with cheap cigs. BUT I don't ever want to smoke again - nasty, yuk!

Briar, you will do it, especially with your daughter and grandkids to keep you straight

[jules56 in reply to Betts]

You can do it.just watch out first day. Cause for me that was definitely the hardest. Got there Sun shining, relaxed, usually would be where i would enjoy smoking. Not treated like a lepper, just felt like i should. But just kept vapeing and by the next day it had passed and i was back to normal. Good family holiday and more room in my case for shopping and not having to save space for the cheap ciggies i would normally bring back. Have a great holiday.

[Briarwood Administrator Ducky]

Hey Betts, you keeping that quiet about going to Cuba lucky you but you don't need to worry coz your sooooooh determined to stay off the dirty nasty things that I know you will be fine Hun those mojitos will taste even better
