Sooo...how are we all getting on with this?

I stopped a couple of times since this thread. Not smoked since December.

Puffing away since last January. Working with tabbers and long hours of boredom, at the time.

Going on my hols to the lands of cheap smokes this week. Bring back some "duty free" and then stop and back on the vaping.

Noticed in the last coupla weeks 20 Mayfair are no longer. A teeny wee "19" on the side. Sneaky sneakers.

Aye I'm still vaping away like a trooper. It helped the last time and I stopped the vaping too after a few weeks, but then a wee cigar here and there....

So I'm still vaping away for now. Interestingly I've got some 10mg nicotine and some zero nicotine juice in the same flavour. When I knew I was on the zero I was climbing the walls. I took off the labels and mixed them up and now I honestly can't tell which is which. Thinking there might be nicotine in it is the same as it actually being there.

It's all in the heid.

I also downloaded a free app for the phone - Smoke Free. It gives you 30 days of thought exercises and a diary thing and you win badges to gamify it a bit. Most usefully for me, it keeps a total of how long since you've smoked, how many cigs you've avoided, how much cash you've saved and how your health has likely improved. After a wee while you don't want to reset it back to zero. I was looking at that a few times a day to keep me going in the early stages.

My dad died of a typical smoking related illness.... distressing but....

Mum died of a smoking related illness... horrendous!!!!! It wasn't cancer, which is bad enough. It isn't always the arteries around the heart that get clogged up. Imagine what happens when the arteries around your bowel die....

Your choice but... 6 years on, 4 years after Dad, the pictures/memories of that last week is vivid and frightening.
