Close call!

I work in a Social club, couple of days in the office, help in kitchen & do a bit of cleaning. Anyway, usually have Thursdays off but they asked me to help out at a funeral up there today, all was going well, but as i watched people going in & out to smoke the demon on my shoulder kept telling me how much i was missing being able to do that! I popped out the back & vaped like a mad woman & that held me for a while, but back it came again, it was so strong that i could hear myself telling my colleague that if i wanted one i would have one, as i didn't want to start getting stressed about it.

I left work, headed for the shop & bought crisps & chocolate but no fags :D, instead, when i got home i put 18mg nic in my vape & not the 9mg i'd been using the last couple of weeks. It hit the spot. I know that eventually i will have to reduce the nic, but for now I'm sticking with the 18mg if that's what it takes to keep off the fags

Dont think i could handle both! My daughter gave up about a year ago, (she still uses a vape) she has always struggled with her weight bless her, but since xmas she has been losing weight a little at a time but it's staying off now. Good luck with both Karen, not easy this healthy living malarkey lol xx

I actually look pregnant! i've always been little 4ft 11" & 7 stone soaking wet, but in the last year my stomach decided to expand & added 9lb to my weight. That may not sound a lot to some people but it looks hideous on me It's an age thing, or so i tell myself, ive been on the change since i was 48 & i'll be 60 in June so it must be my hormones lol.....but hey ho another chocolate wont hurt xx

Well done hails, that really tested you. You did the right thing using your vape. It doesnt matter how long it takes you, you will get there. xx

This is the worst i've been Jilly, it's awful. The thing is, i don't want to smoke, i'm getting the nic from my vape so not craving nic, but the thought of having a fag has been with me constantly this afternoon!

I suppose after 45/6 years it has been such a big part of my life & i need time to adjust to the change.

I know that if it wasn't for this forum i would be chuffing away right now, so i thank you all for the inspirational posts & support xx
