I need a cigarette

Proud of you!!!!!!! I think thats amazing and that you can kick the cravings all together soon! Just gata keep true to what you want to do!!!

You need to hear it from someone glad it could be me, it helps to know that someone knows ur trying your best, and wants you to continue doing so!

This is ironic. I quit when my wife was pregnant (so did she) and we both started again a few months after my son was born. Now, we're here again trying to quit. Currently (as I type) we're both using Vapes. The addiction is more than just a physical addiction to nicotine, it's a psychological addiction. You get addicted to having something in your mouth (oral fixation), you get addicted to habitual times and probably the hardest one, you get addicted to being around/smoking with other smokers. I feel that Vapes are good in all those regards. I mean, you can still get the feel of something in your mouth as you inhale, you can use it as you'd normally smoke and you can be around (this one is the hardest one filled with temptation) other smokers. Quitting is not easy, but it doesn't have to be so difficult either. At one point, I quit smoking for about six years, but depression and selfishness got me back into it. The bad thing for me was/is, you can get over the physical addiction, but the psychological addiction never quite leaves. You never forget why you enjoyed smoking and when you get stressed it's way to slip. But, as others suggested, I believe Vapes are one of the better ways to quit IF. You use them as a cessation aid and not just as a supplement. You'll be glad you quit when you can smell things, taste things and breathe better (Not to mention that whole cancer thing).

Even when smoking, I think they smell and taste like ass. Now, a good cigar or pipe tobacco is another thing all together.

Yaasshat I agree 100% with it being just as much of a psychological addiction. Do you feel it's easier quitting together with the waifu or do you feel like you feed off of each others cravings? I feel even talking about smoking gives me a craving >.<' . But thankfully my vape still works and it is a Godsend. Also, Im proud of you and the waifu! Don't stop! I mean stop. Keep stopping. XD whatever. Let's all get through this eh? I'll revive this thread in a month for updates. I hope we can all quit by then ^^

Good job Melk; stay determined, don't give in, and keep it up. Sending the positive vibes your way; I truly hope you rise above and conquer. Wishing you the best and in general I just hope all goes well for you.

Melk, Absolutely, it makes it easier when you have support. However, I also know (and learned) it does me no good to get on her if she smokes(She won't this time.). It's like this, when she first started up again(Several months after our son was born) I wasn't smoking, I'd get on her about it, but to her it was a personal attack and eventually I gave up and joined(Not exactly the healthy way, I know.). This time, she's getting a surgery she's been waiting on for a while approved, but she has to have no nicotine in her system inorder to get the surgery (It makes you more likely to have uncontrollable bleeding, nicotine.).I'm hopeful this time it'll stick for both of us, but it's definitely going to be hard since basically her whole family (Which we live near) smokes. I know it's a will power thing at the end of the day, but there are so many excuses one can use to even trick themselves. You, stay strong and if need be, distance yourself from the things that cause you to slip.
