I have been lurking around ECF for the last few weeks and thought it was time I introduced myself. I have smoked a pack day for the past 24 years. After a few health scares and at the urging of my doctor I decided to try e-cig. I went by my local cigarette store and picked up an ego starter kit for $30. For the first week I was still smoking around 1/2 pack a day and the second week I smoked 10 cigs the entire week. I haven't had a analog in three days now and that is a huge accomplishment for. In the past I had tried at least 12 times to stop smoking and nothing seemed to work. I had tried the gum, patches, cold turkey, and the nicotrol inhaler. For the first time I feel like this is going to work for me.

Congrats and welcome to ECF. No go get a counter banner so you can see just how many death sticks you are avoiding!
Welcome to ECF. Congrats on making it 3 days! I know how elated I was when I hit that mark, it's a great accomplishment.
I too would recommend a counter for your posts, this way you have some visible positive feedback on your progress. If you are like me, you won't want one that counts money saved, because you will end up spending it on your new habit (hobby? obsession?) ...

It really is a good feeling. I don't believe I have ever made it 3 days without a cig. Usually by the second day I would become a complete monster.
welcome Wild_One ... yes it does work, congrats.
two months smoke free myself ... 30 years of smoking ... gone
Congrats to you too WillyZee!
Wild One,
CONGRATS on the 3 days, it is going to work for you.
It will get easier as the days fly by.
Vape on.

Congratulations, Wild_One! I just passed my 72h mark, also (about 4h ago)! I'll be making my intro thread here shortly
Just wanted to say congratulations, welcome, and keep it up!
Happy vaping!

Congratulations to you too.
I'm exactly the same way. I'm 3.5 days in and I still can't believe I haven't tried to kill anyone. But vaping takes out all the stress and suffering. An anology I used for a coworker is that it's like I quit drinking beer and started drinking wine instead.
Welcome wild one. I smoked for 35+ years and tried all the same methods you did and failed at them as well. After a health scare, I had to quit but luckily I found vaping and cigs are now history forever. Good luck to you!
Welcome to ECF Wild_One, and congratulations on making the switch! 
I'm into my third week cig-free, and I am still stunned and amazed and how easy vaping made it to quit smoking. The naysayers be damned! This stuff WORKS!
Vape on! Cheers!

Glad to have you with us and good luck on your journey. Remember, if you can substitute only one cigarette a day with a vape, you're doing a lot better than before. Welcome
