Well... I hope I'm wrong, but I think Beth is kind of conflicted about the e-cig. I hope she's strong in her quit, but I kind of feel like she's on the fence. Like maybe she would use the e-cig as an excuse for a "safer" relapse. Maybe some of the Q board members are picking up on the same vibes I am. If so, I hope we're all wrong, and Beth keeps doing what she's doing now. No point in using the e-cig if you're okay doing what you're doing.
Umm, except according to Katie, she does both...
I know - I don't understand that.
It certainly doesn't endear her to me.
I kind of liked Beth - now - not so sure.
I mean - what does she hope to gain from it? It's not going to win her any friends.
at this point people can either like me or not-my main point is NOT to let any rude/mean post drive me back to smoking like I was before this quit. As to the E cig-I just wish my dr. would of suggessted it instead of jumping on the fact that when you can't get a smoker to quit by "just asking" then jump on that golden opportunity by the death scare-works every time,plus some of you have implied quitting is a bit easier your way then other nrt methods or cold turkey. For those who want to believe any negative post about me-do whatever-its gotten real old trying to write people pleasing post 100%-thats why I try NOT to post when people start poking,but after all I've been an on again off again target for yrs thats why I'm amamzed to see me so far into a quit-just proves to me that yes support helps but its up to each of us to maintain our quits & that this is just icing on the cake,thats why for the last 6 months I've been thinking of cutting the cord.

nitejanitor,
No one here wants you to write "people pleasing posts" if that's not how you feel. But you are playing both sides of the fence with this and that's what I don't understand.
There's a saying that goes: when you try to please everyone you end up pleasing no one.
Just be yourself.
Yes, it is a pity your doctor didn't offer you an ecig because it probably would have been an easier quit for you. Or you may have found it didn't work for you - it doesn't for some - and you still had to quit some other way.
The point is you quit and you have maintained your quit. You have to stop "what if'ing" about ecigs and just enjoy the fact that you are free.

oh so in other words I should do what was suggested pick 1 website & thats it. Wish I could be myself but that definitely gets me in trouble-basically either be suzie sunshine or shut up. What I do is read stuff on other boards to get ideas & to read people's stories & when you guys popped in that was a new ballgame & when I wrote what I thought about that-man I was in trouble but after reading all these posts I'm still not sold on it FOR ME-BUT wish my sister would try it-sounds alot cleaner & not stinky like smokes so that would ease my breathing in the house. Guess its time to either play nice or shut the He** up-at least not posting & just lurking doesn't get you into trouble.
I haven't put my thoughts in any order so bear with me.....
Perhaps she is conflicted about being forced by her doctors to quit and I get the resentment from that end but also the members at QSMB want her to side with them all the time and now that her eyes have been opened a little they are upset. I think they are mad because she maybe see's that "their way or the highway" isn't the only way to go when quitting smoking as we all know and that upstages them or somehow takes away from the junk science they seem to believe and be obsessed with. I'm just thinking aloud here. They don't seem to be able to move on as someone else said looking at how we all try to basically just ignore most of the really nasty posting from the few "out of touch members" {my thoughts on them} who are always very nasty when they post , they continually attack us regardless of the topic as we've seen.
I'm going to say up front I didn't like Beth or her talking out of her ... but she kind of has made overtures to me to be nicer and I'll accept that until I see otherwise for now.
Sometimes she joins in {the bashing} and sometimes she doesn't but I haven't seen her defend us but meh I don't care. I didn't like Beth's seeming MO either. She is friendly to us here but on other boards relapses into the QSMB state of mind.
You can straddle both sides of the fence when you have firmly in hand who and what you are and no one can take that away from you at least that is how I see myself when dealing with very unpleasant people or any situation. Maybe for some that just isn't possible to stand up for yourself.
I see Beth has posted so... Beth you are far into a quit and let's face it imo doctors suck and they are fallible. They don't always know what is best for you so you have to take it with a grain of salt. I shouldn't like to see you give up your quit at this point and nobody wants you to stop being yourself just decide who Beth really is and what does she like to do here.
Forget about pleasing anyone but you at this point.It's been raining all daggone day people!
I've been drowned out of my hammock today so I'm in a weird, bored hurting from the cold mood and just kinda' rambling.
Can you tell?

Exactly....Try to please everyone and you will please no one...You are free of the DEATH-STIX!!! That is what matters...don't burn your support system.....and don't worry about making people happy at this point worry about keeping off of them(wait thats not what I meant)
Keep your cool and your Quit...don't fall victim to the addiction...

thanks, some nites instead of goofing off I should just work & see how early I could go home-yes I'm that lucky I don't have to be here till 7am but I like spacing my nite out & God help me I love being online-no I haven't taken my savings & gotten a computer-someday tho. haha. I'll go mop & chill out.
Maybe there isn't much else that can be added to that many posts contributed but possibly a change of tactic may be something to consider if on line forums aren't giving results as when first joining them. If Michigan is your home state, Beth, then try this google search Let me google that for you for alternate support sources.
Wait until the new FDA labels start showing up in the marketplace. And the closer it gets to Fall/Winter the more traffic picks up too. Some time to brush up on your evangelism skills young Vapewalker. -Magnus
Beth, I will support you no matter what you post, and no matter where you post it.
I feel your struggles in your words, and never would I want to add to those struggles.
I am frankly somewhat amazed at your strength.
I probably would have folded long ago.
But yes, please heed the words of others, and just be yourself.
Trying to please others is not suiting you.
Being yourself might suit you a lot better.

Hello. I have one day and a few hours since I began vaping. As you know I am a newbie in vaping. I still remember the analog cigs frequently. I want to know when I will forget about analog cigs. I want to forget about them forever. Thanks in Christ Jesus. Orly
Vader is dead so is the Emperor but a new threat lies just beyond the horizon huh......
I am ready....and my blade is sharp...let them come....Muahahahahahaha

Hi Orly!
I know you are kind of struggling with the juice you got and I know some of us would be willing to help find some that are going to work for you. I know "Big Chief and I have offered and it makes it easier since you do have an address in the states that can forward your packages to you. As I said before your length of time may differ from anybody elses but it is possible to lay down your cigarettes within a weeks time. I think it happens that quickly for many of us.
I quit in two days as I said before and I never wanted to quit smoking just cut back some!
Orly has been using Menthol strong cartos I believe and if we can send him some samples of different menthols made with a pg/vg mix I bet he'd be pretty happy.
What do you vapers say to helping our buddy out with some samples?
Orly has an address here in the US so it shouldn't cost a ton of moolah .
I'm thanking everyone in advance and I do hope we can come through with some DIY or other juices for this wannabe new vaper! Thanks everybody for helping and taking the time to read this post!
C.B.
CB, when my Vermllion contest gets done at the end of the week I'll add some samples to ship along with it all. I can send those samples over to Orly's US address too. -Magnus
