Oh hai!

Hello there! Just joined- been lurking. Every time I searched the web for answers this forum popped up. I've been smoking off and on for the past ten years most recently between 1-2 packs a day the past year. I had quit before only to pick cigarettes back up I finally decided to get a vape knowing I needed to cut back immensely but not sure if I am "ready"
to quit. Having used friends vapes- I found I really liked it and purchased my own.
after googling lots of things on vaping (ie: omg I spilled my whole cart on my hand and I think I'm dying ! Or how the hell do I do this anyway? Or is this thing broken or have a dead battery?) thought it wod be best to just join lol. Already cutting down to a half a pack a day in the past few days since I've been vaping!
cant wait to talk more to yall !!!!

Welcome to the forum, Jaina! This is definitely the place to come to get your questions answered. Keep up the vaping, and you might find that you have accidentally quit smoking instead of just cutting back. Glad you're here!

I found besides the WTA that two things helped (are helping) to kick this after give or take 30 years of smoking.:

1. I didn't made a big deal out of it or kick myself if I slip. A shame spiral has never done me much good.
2. I adamantly refuse to say I'll never have another cigarette again. As soon as my addict brain hears 'Never" it immediately fixates on "OMG I NEED A CIGARETTE OR I WILL PUNCH A BABY" (not really) and will not let it go. EVER. By making it a choice my brain seems to behave and think things like "eh, I don't really want to walk to the store to buy some" or "Nah, it's cold outside, let's just vape".

Probably doesn't work for everyone but it does for my particular brand of crazy.
