I gave up smoking on the 18th of June 17. For most of the time I'm managing really well, but come Fridays when I have a glass of wine I really struggle ☹ I've considered getting an ecig zero nicotine to see if this helps. What does everyone think? Thank you 😊

I'm using 6mg nicotine at the moment but I'm going to decrease it slowly. Go to a vaping shop. If they are any good they can advise what the best one for you is 👍
The problem is, I don't want to put nicotine back into my system. So I feel the zero nicotine may be best for me. I just don't want to undo all I've achieved so far 😊
I know it's hard but maybe u should delay drinking until u your thoughts about drinking are not a craving . A lot of it is mental. Find something else to focus on. I don't knock ecigs but that's still a crutch. Just allow yourself to let go. The wine will always be there.♥
Thanks for all your comments, I think I will go get an ecig just for Friday evenings, as I come close to buying a pack of cigs, and I definitely don't want to go down that road. I will let you all know.
You've done amazingly well to do a month without any substitution. I managed 2 weeks cold turkey then ended up buying one of those cheap throwaway ecigs (5.99 from tescos) I didn't wanna spend around 50 quid on one as I feared id try to make it a permanent replacement for cigs.
Like you, alcohol was a trigger and that is the only time I used it.. it got me thru for a while and satisfied those cravings. After about 2 months I just wiened myself of it.
Also does your other half smoke or your friends ?? I strongly believe sucess is down to friends and family not smoking. If people around me were smoking It would have been near impossible for me to quit.
What a great idea, I will go to Tesco and see what they have got. My hubbie has never smoked so doesn't ununderstand the need for one when having a drink. He is however fully supportive and agrees that I should get one to use when having a glass or two. Thank you for the reply and saving me some cash 😊
Got through the weekend without having a smoke. Did get an ecig with zero nicotine in it for Friday night, only used it a couple of times and it helped with the cravings. Haven't touched it since, really pleased with myself 😊
