30 Days!

[herscht]

I now have 30 days without a cigarette! As a heavy cigarette smoker of 44 years, I feel that's quite an accomplishment. I enjoy the e cig and I enjoy this forum and have been pointed in the right direction with my questions here. I am making my own e juice and now have my son committed to joining the vaping community and to give up cigarettes. Next up for me is to start flavoring my e juices for myself and my son. I have spent time in the diy forum and already have a pretty firm grip on the direction I want to go. I have never regretted making the switch although I admit I sometimes want to talk myself into buying a pack of smokes, but so far have refrained. I am really enjoying the money I am saving.

Congrats! For me first 30 days were the hardest, once I figured out which equipment and juices I prefer last thing I cared for was an analog.

Hi @herscht
congrats for your accomplishment... for me the first 10 days, a month had been the hardest.. keep it up on vaping! That's the way to go..!!

Congratulations on your first 30 days! Glad to hear you've spent a lot of time in the DIY forum before starting to try making your own juice. It's a great place to start.

These 30 days were the most important days in quitting smoking. From now on (I believe) you will enjoy vaping and do not even remember that you are ex-smoker. Congratulations.

Congrats! You will feel so much better with vapor then smoke.

Congratulations!! That is quite an accomplishment. When I found vaping I couldn't believe I put down cigarettes that very day and haven't looked back. It's been four months now. What a weight to lift off our shoulders. Every cigarette I smoked I persecuted myself for. Guilt and stress over it would surely have killed me sooner than the tobacco, lol.
It makes me happy every time I read about another smoker quitting with vaping; it really is a miracle.

I have never regretted making the switch although I admit I sometimes want to talk myself into buying a pack of smokes, but so far have refrained.

With every day that passes it will be harder and harder to make the case for buying a pack of cigarettes. Don't think I could even smoke one now. I hope for continued success to you and your son. Vape On!!!

I didn´t start vaping to stop smoking. But I started enojying it!, to the point in which thought I wanted a cigarrette, light it up and just couldn't stand it. This after over a decade of smoking at least 2 packs a day.
Congratulations! In no time your worries will be what mod to get and stopying your sef from buying everthing you read about here

Congratulations @herscht

I was also a (very) heavy smoker & never thought I'd be able to cut down, never mind stop smoking altogether, until I bought my first e-cig.

Thanks to all who took the time to congratulate me. I was walking around work last night telling anyone who would listen. It finally dawned on me that before I break my arm patting myself on the back that it was time to work on month two. But I agree, the worse seems to be over.
