So, 1 week!!

[eGo Maniac]

Congrats on the week! It should be downhill from here. I know how you feel. Today is day 12 for me, and I'm wondering how on earth I chose the Christmas holidays as the "right" time to quit smoking!

Another congrats from me, I am at day 10, yipee double digits. I have to say it hasn't been bad at all. Just hang in there and explore all the new flavors along with me.

Great work. Keep it up! First a week, then a month, and so it goes. Take it one day at a time and before you know it, it will be a year.

Hello,

Thank you all so much for your kind words. I really do find comfort in all of them!!!

I'm just kinda crabby, cause, ya know, I recently quit smoking.

Really though, thanks all. I honestly couldn't have even made this week without all the support and helpful advice. *sniff sniff* C'mere!! Who needs a hug? ... really?? JUST me?? Oh bother ...

The most epic journeys start with the first step. The first week for me was a monster, but if my story our countless others on here can tell you anything, it's that we all came out on the other side. Congrats on the switch, and happy new year.

Thanks all!!! Could be sooooo much worse if I didn't have my PV ....

Emanguba,

I can't exactly say what I'm missing. Clearly I'm getting the nicotine. I have mostly 18's with the occasional 24 thrown in for good measure. I was a chain smoker and now am a chain vaper, but I'm still missing something. Got 8 flavors in today, most of which I like, and ordered 8 more. I love my eGo. I love most of my juices. Is it possible I just miss all those chemicals that were trying to kill me?

Hi, Happy New Year and congratulations!!!!

You say I am missing "something". Did you identify exactly what that something is? Between PVs, juice levels, juice types, attys and batts you should be able to eliminate all "somethings" except the smell (not sure that's desirable anyway)

The only "something" I see now is the lower blood pressure, normal heart rate, increased lung function, mouth and gums feel better.... etc etc.

Have you noticed positives you can focus on?

LOL, Wendy, here you go {{{HUGS}}}

Really, switch up to 24mg most of the day...that should get rid of the crabbiness.

*hugs* I understand Wendy it hasn't been easy for me so far either. Edgy isn't the description (huge understatement). Today is day 6 without an analog and i am pumped to finally get a "good e cig" kit in the mail tomorrow. I don't know the strength of what i've been using recently (it's not listed anywhere) and I have to say that this site is a huge support group. It's awesome to have somewhere to go and find all the answers you are looking for or just vent. Happy vaping and congrats!

ohhhhhh so that's why I spat out my hubby the other day???

It happens I guess different for all of us, so far it's been OK but yes one day of wanting to see peoples head on spikes but perhaps it was just a bad day, I was working pretty solid, perhaps not vaping as much as I should to get my nic fix *shrug* all this is totally new LOL!

 

[arthurfudge]

Dont worry, we all go through it, honestly it took me awhile to soly rely on vaping and i still cheat once in awhile. I just bought a pack of clove cigars for new year. Thankfully if you find the right flavor that should get you hooked on vaping for good. I like Cuban Cigar flavor and Clove.

 

[ScottinSoCal]

I found that, for me, thinking of it as "quitting smoking" made it seem like a huge hurdle. Over the years that's become a cliff I just can't climb. So I didn't quit smoking, I started vaping. Totally different animal, no emotional baggage from previous failed attempts, just a fresh, healthier start.

 

[chibox]

Keep it going your doing great ! Been off the S--T cigarettes for three weeks myself and I still can't bileave I stop !

 

[Addick]

I'm on my 6th week... Nobody in my family can believe I've done that... If I can do it after 40 years anyone can....
Even a week is great... You deserve a big "WELL DONE"....

 

[CraigHB]

There's definitely an adjustment time. Took me a couple weeks to get over the analogs totally after 30 some years of heavy smoking. There's lots of stuff in them besides the nicotine that creates dependancies. Fortunately, it doesn't take long to get over it.

Congrats and hang in there Wendy. It won't be long before you're wondering what it was exactly you missed about the stinkers.
