To be annoyed that DH bought me an E Cigarette?

[NCForNow]

Ok...I smoke...I had planned to buy the same E cigarette that my friend has succesfully given up with...she was here today and she offered to get mine for me as she lives close to the shop.

I thanked her and said that since we were meeting up on Sunday, I would give her the cash (£30) and she could get it. DH heard all this and was there.

The guy she gets hers from has a shop dedicated only to this...and hers has been great.

So...just now DH came back from the shop up the road...Coop or OneStop I think...with some cheapo version. £7.00.

It requires a charger....it requires more cash for refills than the one I planned to buy and it is like a big fat imitation cigarette from a joke shop whilst the one my friend has is more "medical" looking somehow...I prefer it.

I was really annoyed for some reason! I had got my head around my new one arriving on Monday....I planned to begin fresh on that day.

I feel he's wasted money and taken over my giving up! He says "Just try it!" and I say NO. I am buying the one I planned to buy! AIBU?

What other planning have you done.

Over the weekend smoke like normal and do a cigarette diary. Write the time, why you had a cigarette, rate the need for having one then suggest to your self what you could of done instead.

The last one is important as you will know what to do when you have a craving.

I think your dh just wanted to show you some support by getting this

Happy....I pretty much know my triggers. It's when I've finished something...so, I'll wash up...then have one. Finish a phone call...then have one. They punctuate my life and they can piss off now.

I plan to watch out for when I finish something and then go and brush my teeth...and have a drink of water.

MoaningMingeWhingesAgain i used the totally wicked tornado tank. VERY good, no cheap but then neither is fags! just Google 'totally wicked e cig'.

I didn?t use their liquid though, I bought it from libbero (Google it!). they have a much better selection and they have different strength nicotine. I started on the highest one, which even as a 20 a day Marlboro (SP?) smoker gave me a head rush! I slowly cut down the strength until I was mostly on no nicotine and just having a small low nicotine hit when I really needed one! when I was off work I then went to totally nicotine free and then I just smoked with no nicotine for a while until I would find that I had gone a whole day with out using my e cig. so now I never use it and have given it to my brother and he is doing well so far!

It took me around 8 months to totally quit, but they were 8 stress free months with no going back to fags at all. I think that it was the right way for me. I didn?t want to keep failing, so I am really pleased I managed to give up first time. I also stayed happy and unstressed!
