No worries, man. It’s not the end of the world. Think back on how awful it really tasted, and jump back on the vapor and leave the stinkies alone 
We’re all here for support!

Something a friend told me that really stuck with me…alcohol changes all the rules. So many things that “should” be just aren’t when alcohol is involved. That doesn’t excuse behavior, but it does put some perspective on things after the fact.
We may just be internet friends, but we are here. Like NewDrip said, send a PM if you wanna talk.

I look at it this way: If you’re not in a 6x8 room with steel bars on one end, wearing an orange jump suit with flip flops and have a very large, mean looking person as an unwanted room mate/lover…you got time to mull over your actions, restructure your thought processes and decide to choose life.
For some people, like me, it took the prospect of losing everything to change everything. Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt…burned it! You can too!

@MixedUp1,
I’m glad you are going to be ok. If you fall, just don’t stay down, ok?
Most of us can really feel your pain, brother.
I feel compelled to tell you something. I guess to let you know you are not alone.
I smoked for 40 years. None of my 3 brothers ever smoked and always made sure
I knew I was not as good a person as them. I had low self-esteem and always felt
’less than’ because of smoking. Not being able to smoke in most places, stinking,
all of these things made me feel more inferior. So, during most of those 40 years, I
tried many ways to quit. It was torture. I would quit, using whatever method, become a
very anxious cry-baby, biotch, then start smoking again. I was even suicidal at one
point while on wellbutrin.
Then, finally, because of vaping, I quit. My life has completely changed.
But, now and then, especially if I get nervous or anxious, or depressed… I get a
really STRONG craving for a cigarette still. I turn to higher nic juice and vape
through the craving and bad times. Then I go on. I always pray too, and then I’m
ok again. I’ll say a prayer for you tonight too.

We all make stupid decisions and mistakes at some point or other. Someone told me once that it is not falling down that is the problem. The problem is not getting back up on your feet after you fall. I am an expert on falling down and getting back up again and I’ve had worse addictions than tobacco. Believe me, you’ll be fine.
Fill up your Taifun with your favourite juice and forget about it. You’ve made a mistake bro, we all do, it’s what makes us human.
