First day analog free...

[mdhlpn]

GAH!! I have done great all day then hubby comes home... "I bought some cigs, want one?" My reply? "Nope"

YAY ME!!

(I did want one, until I smelled it....)

See! We knew you could do it!! Now to get him on the right path

These 1st few days are the most important.

Smoking spouses can feel threatened too. Rise above it! He'll come around (we hope) and be vaping in short order!

The first days can be the most daunting. The vape just isn't as visceral as an experience as the analogs, but it gets easier and easier the more days you have on your signature counter.

 

[mdhlpn]

He actually started vaping when I did. He does still smoke some, but he didn't smoke near as much as me, so I figured he'd have an easier time not smoking analogs, especially since he has been the one talking about quitting for awhile now, but nope. He is doing good though.

You may need to play around with nic strength and flavors. My first week was at 18, and wasn't quite doing it. Switched up to 24 and haven't looked back. A few months later I started getting juice at 18, which is where I am now. No rush, one step at a time.

You can do it! Today is 2 weeks since I've had a stinky!

I did get one bottle that's 24. Everything else is 18 though. I have about 20 bottles right now. I only really like about 3-4 of those though, same for hubby. My fave is the one that's 24, but I do think I am going to go down to 18 on it as well. Need to reorder cause it's getting low.

On a side note... I'm still holding on although it is getting a bit tougher. I am finding it more difficult to not smoke one though. I know it's just the lack of all the bad chemicals going in me today that is doing it though. I can do this! (maybe)

 

[DavidOck]

One step at a time, and as long as most of them are in the right direction, you're doing fine!

 

[VapHer]

Sooooo... How'd it go?!

 

[Myrany]

So far so good! LOL Don't even want one. I have found myself starting to reach for one, but there aren't any there!

I found that is the hard part. THe habits that go along side of smoking. It took me a month to stop fishing in my pocket for a lighter that wasn't there or getting up on autopilot (pv in hand) to "go out for a smoke"

 

[mdhlpn]

I did it!! Made it through my first whole day analog free!

Good job

THIS!!

I don't know how many times a day I get up without thinking about it and find myself standing in the living room with my pv in my hand going "wait... why did I get up?" *Sit back down antsy-pants.*

It is simultaneously frustrating and hilarious.
