Quitting analogs

[Serenity18]

Hi Everyone
I've been a 30 year smoker at a pack a day and I am looking to quit smoking (again) and start vaping (again). I quit smoking cigarettes for almost 8 months by vaping... then started a new and stressful job and before I knew it, started smoking cigarettes again. I am now headed out to go buy a new vaping kit and just wanted to say hi! I look forward to interacting and exploring the ECF.

Welcome Serenity! Glad you are coming back to vaping. I had a similar experience quitting for about a month using an Njoy setup, but then I started a new, stressful job and well. It was almost a decade before health issue caused me to return to vaping.

You can do it, and the good news is that everything has come a long way. You'll have lots of options. I wish you all the luck in the world, and ECF is a great place to learn more about vaping, including support during the transition process and etc. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy your time here

Hello and welcome.

Welcome! You quit for 8 months so you know what to do. I know what you mean by stress and smoking. Too much stress is still my achilles heel. Good luck

 

[Gratch]

Yeah the stress makes you want a smoke so much more. I am currently very stressed. chain vaping trying to avoid having a beer and a smoke, its not easy though.

Hang in there Gratch. I've been through a heckuva lot in since I've signed on here. It's do-able.

Welcome back! Trying to quit anything during stressful times has always been a recipe for failure for me! Hopefully things are a bit smoother now and you can get back on the vaping train! Good luck!

Welcome I am also new

What helped me was that I got an attitude about smoking. Kinda like Whoopi Goldberg in the movie Ghost. Although I don't dress and walk the same as her.

I just saw to many reasons why I wanted to quit cigs. I also got back-ups for my back-ups. No excuses.

Welcome! I am also a newcomer. So glad you are here. Best of luck!

Wishing you good luck for round two. You did it for a period of time so you definitely have it in you to do it again --hopefully permanently. There are a lot of ex-analog smokers here so it does work. My piece of advice would be to try to remove all temptation. For example, make sure your set-up either has removable batteries so you always have a spare and if you use an all in one with an internal battery to either get 2 or have a portable charger and enough juice. This way you will not be as tempted to pick up an analog since you always have a loaded vape close at hand.

Best of luck. You can do it!

Good Luck with your new quest.

Be strong, don't allow yourself to relapse.
