finally

Firstly I would to thank you all for the huge support and advice to my questions and chatting in the chat room.
I got my Joye 510 with added juice and drip tips and this is the very first time in maybe 3 weeks that I have felt secure enough to feel I have started on the journey to dropping the Analogs. I am on my 2.5 day mark without a cig and that's saying something. Red's full flavor for 25 years at PAD at least. I have tried to quit before with the usual results. It's been a combo of not really wanting to quit and feeling insecure without my routine and and habit.
This is the first time I feel I am really where I need to quit for real and have the desire to do so. The weather we have had here this last week, it is soooooo gooood to be inside instead of huddled under an eave somewhere that really isn't protecting me LOL.
So now all I need to do is get ahead on my addys, batts and juice .

Congrats on getting here too. I quit the first day I got my 510 and have never looked back and hope you do too! Now I use a Riva getting my juice figured out and cutting down on the nic started at 24 now 10/8. this after god know how many quite attempts and pad for 42 years. I feel wonderful. Come here for all the support you need.

Well congrats and I know you will love the journey.
Not everyone quits at the same time, we all have our ups and downs.
But ECF and the great people here are always behind us.

Let us know how you do and any probs that may come up.

Yes Congrats!
It seems like quitting just kinda happens naturally, once you start vaping and figure out the right combo of things for you. just keep at it, and you'll start wanting analogs less and less. I used to sweat it when I had the urge, to smoke. But I don't anymore.
Glad your joining us, where the air is fresh and clean!

My wife and I were out earlier during a break in the storms because our garage was flooded. We have 2 full size garage doors, one in the front and one in the back so you can pass a car or something straight through to the back yard. I forgot to put the second door down. So were out there, me vaping and sweeping and my wife flipped up some tin siding that was laying under where a lot of rain water falls (makes a hell of a racket). When she did that she called me over. This huge huge lizard was laying there in a puddle deeper then it was thick (if that makes sense). I felt bad because cold and wet is not good for a reptile, so I picked it up figuring it was dead because it was stone cold and stiff. I stood there because it felt wrong to just chuck it in the dumpster so I was figuring out how I was gonna handle this when it started to move around in my hand. Still vaping, I grabbed a shop towel and dried it of and looked around to see where to put it. I took a gardening glove I have and stuffed it in there and wrapped it in a towel, vaping the whole time and set it ona rubber tub. It settled in and stood there feeling pretty good about myself... vaping the whole time.

Haha - love the lizard story. Would have been a good "vaping while" photo.

And grats! It took me a couple of weeks to stop carrying a pack of smokes and lighter in my other pocket "just in case". Now as long as I have charged batteries I am fine.
