proud moment for me

[DanG]

Pretty proud, I had a bad day, a really bad day. I messed up at work, really rare. I knew it happened after the fact. It was one of those awwww (enter your long line of expletives here). Naturally, for me, I automatically said to my self where are my smokes. Being that I just quit I have 3/4 of a pack in my truck still. I never went to get them. I am happy for me even If the wife doesn't understand. She just thinks I am "sucking on that thing all day".

I am a little over two months in and my wife is just now finally understanding, she is even referring to it as vaping. At first she acted like nothing was different and still called it smoking. It gets easier on that front, and not wanting a cigarette becomes easier and easier. The only time I want a cigarette is the times I wonder how awful it would taste to me after this long exclusively vaping. They smell terrible!!

Congratulations on ignoring the temptation. Those oh ..... moments can make it really hard to stay off the cigs but each one you get past makes the next one easier. You have reason to be proud of yourself. Congrats again and good luck.

You oughta be proud! Being able to stay off the smokes in a time of stress, and especially with them readily available in your truck, is a great achievement. My hearty congratulations! Remember, personal victories can sometimes just be personal and you're the only one who appreciates them. But in these cases you're only one who matters.

Good job Dan, I'm only 5 months into the world of vape, but I don't count days, the only way I now how to quit any addiction is just not smoke today. Today I Vape, today I did not smoke. By just thinking of today, living in the now, I can easily not smoke for today. There first few days can be difficult to adjust to. But today, even through stress, you didn't smoke. We are conditioned to smoke so those programed responses are automatic, it's normal to think about smoking cause that's what we've been doing for years. After a month or two, if you happen to light up one, you'll find it taste like chit, and will wonder how you ever could settle for such limited flavors and bad taste for so long.

Today, I don't even think about smoking, Vape has totally reprogramed my dhitty thinking. tapped a fellow vaper to go on break, and said "time for a vape break" I find that my whole attitude has changed, I don't have to work at being happy, even my supervisors mentioned that I've been more bubbly. Even the players that I take most their money from, can't help but laugh and have a good time.

Once I thought about it, came to the conclusion I'm not having a manic episode, just wouldn't you be more happy and vibrant, if after 37 years you finally got that damn monkey of you back, and stomped his head in, so the monkey can't climb back.

Well done everyone here, that vapes for today.

Vape on!

Congrats !

Good. I've had a few of those "Where are my cigarettes?" moments and after seven months now, managed to not need them after all. Keep it up.

Nice one DanG, it takes a little getting used to, but those moments when the cigarettes call get replaced by reaching for your vape pretty soon. vaping really is so much more enjoyable than smoking. Congrats on doing the right thing. Having smoked for 25 years myself, i know what a victory it is. My wife was a bit cold about e-cigs when i started as I vape more than I smoked, but now she sees the change for the better and is right behind me. Well done.

 

[OlDogNewTricks]

Outstanding! Well done! Truly, it only gets easier and as she sees you not smoking analogs, she'll come around.

 

[scott808]

Great job!

I remember the first time I was stressed out, but avoided using an analog. That totally made me forget about what I was upset about since I was so proud of myself.

Nice job on sticking to the vape..We all know how easy it is to just say f it and go grab some smokes..I still get those urges to smoke every now and then when work is stressful but I think it is only because my GF is still on the analogs.. Keep it up man this is the most rewarding "addiction" I have ever had and have only seen positive results.. She will come around just as mine is starting to( we both started vaping last year and both fell off the wagon, thankfully I was able to jump back on but her on the other hand...)

Keep Calm and Vape On brotha
