e-cigarette-forum.com THANK YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH

[jhl01]

Hello.

After having been a sleeping member of this forum for 3 months, I thought it was high time I thanked the good folk on here that have dramatically altered my life for the better. Although you don't know me, the likes of Smokey Joe and Tropical Bob and many more of you have become like friends from whom I sought advice and guidance so often in the past 3 months.

Sorry haven't sussed how to use the smilies yet - doh!

In a nutshell, I quit smoking on 4 Apr this year - the day we went to Disneyland Paris for a few days (baaad move!). Hot tip, don't try quitting 'da fags when your 6 yr old is pestering you 24/7 about riding Dumbo and 'It's a friggin Small World'.

Anyway, I relied on NRT to get me through and this kept me just above pergatory (just). After a week of patches, gum inhalators etc I was a gibbering wreck. Somehow during this period from hell, I found this site.

Too terrified to believe at first, I kept reading and reading. Eventually, I plucked up enough courage to buy my first NJOY (note first!!!) After a few days it arrived from Cyprus and I put it together; my hands were shaking, I was that nervous that this was going to be a huge disappointment. OMG - after 3 puffs, not only was there light at the end etc but the preverbial tunnel was rushing towards me at Warp Speed. I finally had found a way of beating this awful addiction.

And it was ALL down to you super folk on here.

3 months on, I have not looked back. Granted this might not be the answer for everyone, but it has changed my life.

The reason I haven't posted previously is that I didn't think I had anything useful to say/add to what's been said before. But I just HAD to say thank you.

As for my observations on e-smoking....

For anyone considering this as an alternative to smoking can I offer the following that I have found useful.....


1. Don't buy 1 e-cig buy at least 3. They break - frequently. But the penstyle ones offered by pillbox and smokester here in the UK and, I think, by Meltrex in the US are superb and cheap (miles better than NJOYs equivalent).

2. Invest in a nice set of tweezers - they will become your 2nd best friend after the e-cig!!!

3. Make sure you buy an extra roll of kitchen towel each week!!! Or is that just me??


Finally - honest,

A sincere heartfelt THANKS to everyone on here - not only from me, but from my children you have helped make them very happy.

That's all, so bye for now.

Jerry

P.S.
Smokey Joe, Tropical Bob, Meltrex, Ratindahat and too many more to mention. If you guys are ever in South Wales, UK, let me know - the drinks and carts are on me.

Hi Jerry, Welcome to the forum! I too was a 'sleeping member' for a while but I've only just started e-smoking a few weeks ago. It's good that you've finally joined!

It's great for everyone to hear that the posts are helpful, they have been invaluable to me too.

Anyway, congratulations on your progress so far and keep it up!

All the best.

Spider

P.S. Looks like luffy isn't the only Welsh resident on this forum!

'It's a friggin Small World' lol, I remember that ride at Eurodisney, I had to go through it three times. Never would have survived without cigs.

[TropicalBob]

That is one great story, Jerry, and, yep, you're my friend now. If you need anything that doesn't require a new posting here, just PM (private message) me and, if I can, I'll help. Welcome and I'm happy you've found the help we've found in e-smoking.

welcome aboard jerry

glad to hear another success story. e-smoking has cut my real smoking by 70% but i haven't quit totally. maybe it's some of the other junk they put in them.

let me add that i also thank everyone who posts here and helps us to understand and get more benefit from e-smoking.

Welcome Jerry - loved the story - couldn't have been posted at a better time I think everyone here needed to know that we are still helping people.

[jhl01]

Hi dnakr,

Sorry, should have added you (and all Mods) to the 'free drinks/carts' list above - oopps!

Re your.....

"Welcome Jerry - loved the story - couldn't have been posted at a better time"


Don't know why this is a "better time" but as forums go (and I've been on a fair few!), this one has been the most influential on my life so far.

The above is all true. What I failed to emphasise though was my delight with e-smoking is pails into insignificance compared to the relief on my young sons' faces now that they say that..

"Daddie doesn't smoke anymore".

Just 4 words - but they speak volumes.


If this post helps then, fantastic - dunno why though. You guys/gals (politically correct??) are doing SUPERB work here.

Tropical Bob - clocked the above and thank you. I won't abuse the privelidge.

Till the next time,

Jerry

[dnakr]

I just meant that today the tension was a little high and a great post like yours shows us why we are all here.

Yes - those 4 words do mean a lot. My kids were thrilled when I switched over. I have no desire to go back to real cigs. Its funny that I smoked them for 30 years and now I can't stand the taste of them.

Very touching message. I'm sure you'll help people. Thank you for posting.

No, it's not just you.
