Give and get support around quitting
I was wondering is it a slip if u puff on an e cig?
and to recognize the difference!
Perfectly written, G. I hate both too. But there is no doubt which is the better choice. We are such a mix of emotions inside. I hope someday they have that magic pill. What amazes me is people are quite understanding of it when you tell them even if they’ve never smoked. What does that say? Even never users know it’s harder than heck. With a scrambled brain I’ve gotten a lot of understanding dealing with complex issues. I write down absolutely everything now. I transpose numbers dialing. Can’t remember a name for very long on business calls. I haven’t gotten to loving quitting yet. But I don’t miss being as much of a slave to it. It’s going to be a long battle!
The only battle you fight is the one you choose. Choose wisely! You can't win an argument with yourself, so don't have one. You have already made the decision, so now you just need to honor it, every day, every minute if necessary. It will be easier if you take the option of smoking a cigarette off the table. It isn't an option. You don't do that anymore!
Keep going - you are doing GREAT!

Please don’t smoke anything. NOPE
It sounds like you don’t completely want to give up smoking. I got through this by continuing to come to this site, even when I slipped. I did not give up. Now I have almost six months. I rarely think about smoking. When I do, I use the stuff I learned here, “I don’t do that any more!” Or “This will pass!”
Don’t give up! Figure out why you still want to smoke. Why do you hate the quit? Why did you stop smoking in the first place? What do you hope to gain from not smoking?
stAn3 I am SO HAPPY for you, honestly, you are doing GREAT!
