I have been smoke free for months now and don't even really crave them anymore!! And I do ok, I have permanent nerve damage so I'm constantly in pain but I'm thankful I'm able to walk and because of all this I get to spend more time with my kids and wife.
Yes it is, after smoking for 23 years and numerous failed attempts at quitting I am so thankful to be smoke free! On a side note I've been Vaping for a few years now and still couldn't shake analogs but when I started sub ohm it's a price of cake and I don't miss them. It's surprising cause my wife still smokesGood way to look at the positives! And it's crazy, but I'm not craving them anymore either! Vaping is magical, IMHO
That is Great. 39yrs of smoking for me. Loving how advanced the Vaping industry has gotten. Hoping for one of the Disrupters and going Sub-Ohm. Starting to figit for analog but I think that is because i am trying to go to zero nic a little to soon. So may go back to 3mg for a while yetYes it is, after smoking for 23 years and numerous failed attempts at quitting I am so thankful to be smoke free!

Thanks for the advice. Always thought it was important to get off the Nic also. Did good at 3mg so will stick with it for a whileUm yeah... I also smoked for 39 yrs.... I've been at 10mg for the entire past year that I've been smoke-free, though I recently dropped to 9mg when I got my Achilles, because the TH is so intense. No need to rush, nicotine isn't going to hurt you.

Good luck at the dr apt today!Thanks guys. I actually didn't break it, I had a revision surgery. Last year I had some cadaver bones put in and some screws. Well one of the screws was fractured and my bone was not healing correctly (my surgeon thinks a lot of that is because of my heavy smoking). So 7/1, I had 2 steel plates put in and a bone graph taken from my heel. I have been unable to use my right foot/leg for a month now! Today is my xray and dr. appt, so I'm hoping to be put in a walking boot today!!
Broke my left foot twice in two years, it didn't heal r right the first time so when it broke the second time I spent 4 months in a cast then two in a boot. All because smoking was slowing bone growth!! Then leads than a year later. last July I broke my back and had na tri level fusion with rods plates and screws. So yeah I feel for you, I'm hoping my streak of misfortune will end soon!!
I hope your streak of bad turns to a streak of good. Constant pain is terrible to live with but your attitude towards it is amazing. Your family is lucky more than they knowI have been smoke free for months now and don't even really crave them anymore!!

OH Definitely on the Smoking. Was diagnosed about 6 months ago with a stage of pre-cancer that had to be removed. Doc said I HAD to get off cigarettes or it WOULD come back and next time I might not be so lucky and it be full blown cancer. That was what made me check back into the Electronics and see how different it all is now. Tried the Cig-A-Likes when this first all started but they did me no goodYeah, it doesn't do any good to get off nicotine, if that makes you want to go back to smoking! Smoking WILL hurt you, nicotine won't.

Thank you! And my surgeon does not believe it is a manufacturer defect. I don't think it's super common, but it does happen. Part of my problem was that the bone wasn't growing back together and after that surgery, I got into a walking boot full-time way too quickly. Doc had said to slowly transition and I just said, forget that! I'm all in. That's why we're taking it so much slower this time AND getting an xray before he decides if I can start getting into the walking boot yet or not.
Thank you, it has not been a easy transition going from workin full time at the bank to being disabled and a stay at home dad! My wife is amazing and that helped alot! This has been a very long journey. I had a burst fracture at L4 and couldn't walk for two weeks till the swelling went down, I still have weakness' and numbness in my left leg and severe pain from the nerve damage! Moral of this long story is God is good and without him this journey would have had a different outcome!!Good luck at the dr apt today!

Understood!
Although not nearly even close to what your going through, I did fracture my foot in 3 places a few years back (6?) and like you I rushed things. So now every once in awhile it hurts. Not Terribly but still can feel it.
It has got to be a pain to get around!
When I was suppose to stay off my foot I had crutches but I lived in a house on stilts. (So a flight of 25 steps)
Although not impossible to hop on one foot up and down the steps it was not easy so for the most part I was stuck in the house for 6 weeks.
Kenneth very sorry about your nerve damage.
