Not much of one for support groups, generally, but...

Congrats! Boy, you are stronger than me. I am on day 18 without a cigarette and I just have not been able to throw away my last half of pack. I still am getting minor cravings and they do not appear to be getting weaker; however, the time between cravings is definitely getting longer.

I keep 4 unopened packs of analogs in the drawer with the juices I am using at the moment along with an open pack. Have not wanted to get one out and light it up since week 2 of getting my PV. I keep them there just as a reminder that I have made a choice in my life and that the PV is the better choice. Today has been very stressful, thanks to family, and I still am not wanting an analog. I love my family, but dang guys you need to work on your sh*%#@. AAAHHHH!

It took me over four months to get rid of the four cartons I had in the freezer.

By the way, I think your dog has relatives that live down the block from me.

Adrenalynn you can do it, I'm confident. I had 3 packs left when my kit arrived and I smoked a few a day until they were gone and I just didn't by any more; by that time (a week or so) I knew I had the right tool to dump the cigarettes. I will say even though I was getting my nicotine, there's that "mystory" funk that's in cigs that caused me a little anxiety, but it passed in less than a week. I stopped by a friends house about a month into the e-cig thing and smoked a cig and that was it, I mean the thing was sooooooooo disgusting (how the hell did any of us start in the first place? I sat through a meeting the other day for 3 hours (I could have vaped but didn't) and was calm as could be; before I would haved to excuse myself and go get a weed. This stuff is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow sounds like we ALL had similar experiences with cigarettes. I definitely remember those nights counting what was left in the pack and making a midnight run to the store to get more smokes cause I didn't have enough for the morning.

When my VK showed up I was half way through a pack of smokes. out of that pack I had 2 more out of it during the 1st week and ya it really didn't taste good at all and that was after 30 years of smoking. After that week I gave the pack to a friend to finish off for me. now I still have 6 unopened packs left out of the carton that I bought and haven't thrown them out yet only cause THEY WERE EXPENSIVE!!! so I'm selling them to a friend at a discounted price to recover SOME of the money

I do have to do it soon though cause he is looking to start with the VK also since he saw my success. one of the biggest things for me though was last week I had some friends over for a poker party and they were smoking regular cigs and I was totally surprised that I just didn't want one and that the VK worked for me under those conditions

bottom line I am glad to now be able to call myself a non smoker and I have Steve, Mark, Leaford, and ALL of you guys here to thank for it!!!!!

It was easy! We tried hard not to cough and choke and let the tears roll in front of our friends, and then proclaimed, "Oh yeah, this is great!" Then we tried different brands until we found the one that tasted the least disgusting.
