I quit!!!

[effigi]

I still keep a pack lying around (wife still smokes analogs) so has helped, especially in the beginning, to have the possibility of having one if i needed. So far, so good.

Wife is smoking one or two a day, I haven't had one since 0630 yesterday morning but I told her and everyone else who asked me how it was going today that "I'm not saying that I quit smoking" If I do that and slip tomorrow morning I don't trust myself with that failure, I'm proud that I've been able to abstain however I know I will slip and I don't want the feeling of failure with that to ruin the progress I feel I'm making. I know me too well.

and fast! Every less analog, is another minute,hour and day with our friends and loved ones Just stick it out and you will feel how i feel...Blessed to have found my e-cig and the great people on this forum

i have purchased an e-cig in an effort to quit tobacco. however, quitting cold turkey is like getting a sports car up to 100 mph and slamming on the brakes to see if you crash... chances are... YOU WILL. so i have decided to taper myself off analogs and use vaping as my method/device to quit.

i hope that i can stick it out this time. i always go back to tobacco. don't want to this time around.

I left 3-pack a day smoking on day one of using an NPRO. With cart juice that I didn't even like, with 18mg/ml nicotine density. I think the biggest hurdle is to hold the urge to PANIC to a minimum. You can try the taper off theory, but I am willing to bet you will find that when you slam the brakes on smoking cigarettes you will just keep coasting! Just keep a good supply of the consumables, meaning batteries, atomizers, and juiced carts or refill liquid, and you will have the Panic button covered. Good luck to you.

I had no desire whatsoever to quit smoking..........but found by the end of the first day I had no desire to light up an analog. It's been abt 3 1/2 months and I'm still smoke-free.....no pain, no sense of deprivation.......in fact, it's hard to believe I'm a non-smoker

Let's just not deceive those smokers with a brain wired differently. It's not always so easy to move away from your old "best friend". I'm coming up on my two-year anniversary of quitting cigarettes (17 months of e-smoking so far). I use e-cigs, snus, dissolvable tobacco and nasal snuff to stay smokefree.

Life without cigarettes is getting easier day by day, but not one day goes by that I don't think about and want a real cigarette. Not one. I'm down to about three intense cravings per day (at first it was simply non-stop for about three months).

I love these "easy quit" stories. Wish mine were one. But it isn't. And many will not find quitting with an e-cig painless. Just do whatever is needed to never again inhale tobacco smoke into your lungs ..

Just found e cigs after 40 years of analogs. I am really excited with these to completely quit smoking. Not saying I quit either but these really give me hope. Patches, gum yada, yada, yada didn't do diddly. Ecig lets me perform the actions I am psychologically addicted to while cutting down on the nicotine.
Glad I found this forum too!
