Default 8 days

Last Friday, eight days ago, I had my lastnbit of tobacco.

I am now only a vaper.

I have zero intentions of going back to the tobacco. I'm on the coca cola flavoured Vapes and have done the transition easily.

Only a week in and my chest feels better.

Next aim is to cut the nicotine content in vapes.

I smoked weed from the age of 15 and totally stopped that last year. 30 years, every day.

The problem is, I'm drinking more. I have to go to shop every night to get some lagers pretty much every night. At least it's only lager instead of Whiskey, which I became fond of in the past few years.

What I'm saying is I'm progressing in my mid forties.

I'm so lucky in life.

You can understand why a great songwriter like Gary Barlow felt the need to cover the song "How deep is your love"

It's a top tune by the brothers Gibb

It's quater to twelve on a Saturday night and I'm makiing a Coffee to take to bed with me.

Fall asleep to a bit of YouTube with a coffee. That's the new me.

2 years ago I would still have been dancing with Charlie White, smoking a fat one and have a rum and coke in my hand.

I now feel in control of my future.

Decafe Coffee would be far better ..

Can I point you towards my 2 favourite podcasts to help you drift of to sleep..

Steve wraith, the bronson interviews...or the ricky Gervais shows which are often 3 hours long. I use them every night and it works a treat.

Well done so far alf, that's some step to take..

Do you find that you can sleep easily after coffee Alf? I only ask because if so (relaxing with a stimulant) it might mean you're a bit neurospicy (i.e. on the ASD/ADHD spectrum). For normal folks stimulants like caffeine stop people sleeping well, but stimulants on an ADHD brain have the opposite effect (help focus and thus relaxation).

Ritalin for example (an ADHD med) is a stimulant. Stronger than, but not dissimilar to, caffeine.

Nicotine is also a stimulant.

Best of luck with it Alf, the vape transition didn't work for me, cold turkey was the only way to go but hopefully it does for you (just don't get too addicted to that in the mean time)
