I think complete abstinence from hand-to-mouth nicotine is right for me. I tried vaping in the past and I do not think I broke any of the main habits that have kept me smoking. But, different strokes for different folks, I wish I could say 7 months right now.

My Achilles heal this past time was social drinking, basically I am a bit socially awkward and don't really like people IRL, I also get "claustrophobic" when I am inside too long. So, I was out at a bar with friends and I actually had to stay in the bar with them the whole time, I couldn't sneak outside for a break. I thought those breaks were all about the nicotine in the past, but no, it was also to sooth the asshole in me as well. So, I stepped out with some friends who were smoking and sure enough, a cig wound up in my mouth... I have to watch out for that.

I think I am going to get some nicorette gum for my next bar adventure.
