New member, and looking for advice

[Two_Bears]

I'm absolutely blown away by the help and advice I got here to my post. Thank you, thank you!

I got some great tips from my request for advice, and will be changing up several things in my strategy. The overall feeling I have right now, is how could I fail with this sort of support!

Andria, I can't thank you enough for your information on WTA. It explains so much about some of my past experiences with quitting. I'm going to order one bottle, not to use immediately, but to have here in case I need it.

I'm so glad I joined this community yesterday, and I'm looking forward to becoming an active member.

Rose this is one of the best forums around.

I see that newbies should not be forced to repeat the mistakes we already made.

But we so often do -- I was *determined* that it had to be the size and shape of a cigarette. It was only after 4 wks of using that, that the drawbacks really came home to me. A lot of us make that mistake, thinking that the size and shape really matters... then learn, it really doesn't. But we can't really *know* that, until we experience it for ourselves.

I was one who also demanded an ejuice that tasted as much as possible like my cigarettes, and maybe that helped me make the switch, it was so similar. But it didn't take too long, maybe 6 months, before I completely lost the taste for anything that tasted like a cigarette -- and as that was happening, I remembered for the first time in decades exactly how much I had hated the taste of cigarettes when I first started smoking.

Andria. There's an old saying "You can lead a horse to water but can't make him drink"

If we offer guidance and they refuse to listen then they own that one I sure wish someone had told me not to get the Lemo 2 and the Bellus. I could have bought two gallons of VG with that money.

Thank you. I Love to read. Last year I read 113 books and 6 of them was those 800 page novels by Robert Jordan.

Later this month I will start "Knife of dreams".

No idea how many I read last year. I hit the library every 2-3 wks, check out 7-12 (as many as I can find and/or comfortably carry); mostly fiction, but occasionally non-fiction if I find something that interests me -- predominantly psychology, anthropology, history, biography, occasionally economics. For fiction, I seem to go heavily toward mysteries of ALL types (from tru-crime to cozies, it's all good), and also a lot of "urban macabre/horror/fantasy", though now and then I find one that piques my interest that isn't in any of my usual categories -- right now I'm finishing one called The Scent of Death; it's set in the Manhattan of the Revolutionary War, but, for a real change, from the Tory/British point-of-view rather than American -- Manhattan was very much a Royalist stronghold during the Revolution. It's quite a change of pace, very interesting. Recently found something quite outside my usual interests, called The Woman in the Photograph, based on an actual person, a woman who was a fashion model and then a photographer herself, in the NY and Paris of the 1920s and 30s -- that was an excellent read! Also pretty much anything at all by Stephen King, and Dean Koontz.

My son put me onto The Wheel of Time series; he knows I'm completely OVER most "Tolkienesque" fantasy, but assured me that this series was something special, and he was right, it's really excellent.
