Hopefully this will be my last ever try, and stay Quit for good.

Hi all, its been a while since I last spoke to you. And I have been making tremendous efforts in my quitting the cigarettes. The maximum lately has been 3 weeks without smoking, and that has been done numerous times since I started last year in April.

I would have done more but we had our windows smashed by the next door neighbour, yet until recently I have passed the 3 weeks mark.

I Quit smoking on the 19th of January at 12 PM mid afternoon, this year.

So hopefully this with be my last try and stay smoke free for ever.

For the umpteenth time!

Hello all, long time since I last updated this blog, but here goes, I just cannot get passed the 3 week mark, as I tend to have a cigarette to celebrate my achievement. But in saying this I find myself at a loss, as I would normally do about a week without smoking and then when I have a cigarette, I follow that up by having more.

I am stupid in thinking that I can have just the one, when I was doing so well. This then leads to me having about a packet or more during the following days.

I will one day find that I can last a year or longer without smoking. But for the time being, I have done more weeks without smoking than smoking itself.

So I will continue my journey in trying to be a none smoker and to prove to myself that I can live without smoking for the long run in and to never ever put one to my lips again.

Why am I stupid sometimes.

For the best part of a few months, I have been abstinent from smoking for the majority of the months that I had been Vaping.

But for some apparent reason, I still fall foul of smoking just for the necessity of smoking to get a quick fix of nicotine.

I have also racked up many weeks without smoking, but once I have one, I have another and another, and it becomes endless, with just having one becoming a complete packet and more.

I want to state that I will no longer go back to smoking shortly.

I also had some trouble with the next-door neighbour, who smashed two panes of glass on Tuesday, June 10th, at around 7:30 pm.

During this time, I had done 5 weeks, but I had one on Saturday and smoked until Monday Morning.

But this week I started to smoke on Tuesday and did until Sunday Morning.

So, My New Date for quitting is July 6, 2025, at 00:00:00.

I’m now classed as a none Smoker.

Since quitting on the 1st of april, I thought I could quit and still have one now and then. But I was wrong so then my next plan was the 14th.

i had then made 6 weeks. And only needed to get over Sunday to beat my best abstinence from smoking

I then had one cig and then proceeded to smoke a further 40 on the 25th of may.

so I would have been into my ninth week but instead I am into my third week yet again.

Story cut short……

If you feel a craving just vape.

It’s a long time comming

For the past 3 months, I have been Vaping for many days, then going back to smoking, as the furthest I have done is 5 days 11 hours.

This is not due to vaping being inadequate but to my own necessity of having just one. Then that leads to another and another.

Overall, I Quit again on the 3rd of March 2025 @ 4 PM or 16:00 hours.

Mainly due to my coughing fits, but I like the taste of flavours more than burning tobacco.

Soon to be?

During the coming months I will be Vaping Indefinitely, as I need to have Nicotine in my system.

The reason being is that no matter how many cigs I have, I find myself passing out more often, and frequently. Ok I still do this on the vape, but it is in no way worser than smoking, and only pass out when starting from scratch.

My Journey Starts NOW!!!!

Over the past 2 months, I have been enjoying both vaping and smoking, but the former mostly. As I have reduced the amount I have been smoking. Aswell as doing 2-5 days on an average week.

My smoking has reduced significantly and when I do smoke, I initially regret doing so. But since Vaping, I still cough, but not as much as I would when smoking.

I now would like to say that I have smoked 1/3 of last month. And still hoping to reduce further, even if I am vaping.

I had my last puff of an actual cigarette just before the end of January 2025 at midnight.

So now my journey starts when vaping for the 1st of February 2025.

I will beat this addiction to smoking, with me trying again to Quit.

Since my last post, I had lasted nearly 5 days without smoking. But, had smoked over a week.

Now I am about to go into my 4th day in about 4 hours time.

I have already done 2 days and 20 hours and 25 minutes so far.

But what I am lacking is my will power for starters, I will need to keep myself busy doing some stuff, without the need to clock watch.

I will start now. But I did Quit again as of the 14th of January 2024 @ 00:00:00 Midnight.

New Year, New Conditioning.

For the coming year I have vowed to myself not to smoke anymore and to just Vape. This is because Cigarettes are getting too damn expensive. And for not being able to enjoy it, I would rather have something that is either less harmless and enjoyable, compared to something that be hazardous to my health.

Although I say all this, I must first get over a weeks worth of Vaping to be regarded as a Ex-Smoker.
