I’ll go first. After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.
Ah, the turkish cigarette trick!
We called it that back in the day, because turkish cigarettes were the absolute worst smoke you could have. But in need, a friend indeed…
God I miss smoking. I quit near as not 20 years ago after a parent died of lung cancer, and still every once in a while I could f’kin eat one whole. You can “quit” but the craving never really goes away.
Forgot my vape at home while out in town a few months ago. Stress and shit happened. Bummed a dart off the guy working on my truck. And it was like I never quit. It was so good. Words cant describe. Shit was amazing. But it was just the one. I’ve stayed quit. Only because of my family tho. Not like risk of lung cancer really matters anymore. WWIII, climate collapse, etc. Very few of us are gonna live long enough to die of natural causes.
As a smoker who quit before ecigs, if you do quit nicotine, it’s hard. But it gets easier every day. Now it’s just a long forgotten memory.
If you are vaping, then did you really quit?
I quit the tar and arsenic and 100 other odd chemicals in american cigs. I didnt quit nicotine.
As someone who mixed his own vape fluids and slowly lowered the nicotine to ~1.8mg/ml and then went cold turkey first on nicotine and then also on vaping. The craving for a cigarette full of tar is still there once in a while when drinking or when completely stressed out.
Most of the time it’s my brain wanting “5 minutes of fresh air” while working on a problem or thinking back about a good time such as a beer, a smoke and good company during a backyard bbq. I can do those things without the nicotine, and I do.
It’s rare now though, especially compared to how it was when I was still vaping nicotine.
I was a pack per day for almost 20 years. Switched to vapes 5+ years ago and stepped down the % and then stopped just like you. Haven’t had a smoke/vape in probably 2 years at this point. I still get a craving now and then but it passes, fuck cigarettes and paying lying tobacco companies to kill me.
