Womp womp. I think everyone has lapses. If you're still into e-cigs, have you considered messing around with RBAs and mechs? I'm just learning to coil, but it's fun so far.1. He can't smoke cigarettes. I've been back on them lately and I hate it. I don't need someone else making me worse.
I'm still on the ecig 90% of the time. I'm just back on a pack of cigarettes or two a week. I have my morning cigarette... and my post-work cigarette.... and my lunch break cigarette.... and my post-class cigarette and... my "fuck you work, it's 2am" cigarette. If I drink, game over. I blew through 2 packs in a night last weekend (although there were 3 of us sharing the packs.) I'm not sure what caused the hop back to real cigs. I've been much more stressed lately (work, 2 huge freelance projects, finals, & moving). There are also two new guys at work that smoke reals so I often join them for one. I also cut my juice from 18mg to 12mg. Ideally, I'd like to wean myself of the ecig at some point as well which is why I stepped from 24mg to 18mg to 12mg. Maybe 12 is taking it too far, too soon. I don't know. Come June 1st, I'm getting off them 100% again. Mark my word.
That does sound like a lot of stress and a lot of change. Maybe you feel like a cigarette is something concrete to hold on to? Personally, I'm learning to coil because I don't think I'll be weaning myself off of e-cigs anytime soon and I feel like the novelty of the whole RBA and mech thing will help me stay off of analogs. I'm considering stepping my juice down as well, but mostly because when I blow 36mg vapor through my nose I sometimes get a headache. I'm gonna sample some 18mg when my mech stuff comes in. I'll take you at your word. I hope all your stuff goes off smoothly!
