so i did it...

[gasp]

I got my kr8 a couple of weeks ago and i've been loving every minute of it. But I seemed unable to completely give up the analogs.
Well, yesterday was my birthday and I decided to give my lungs a present. I haven't had an analog since saturday when I ran out. Can't say i haven't had the cravings to go outside and have an analog (i actually took my pv outside a little while ago just to see if that'd help) but so far i'm making it. According to my girlfriend i haven't been a right b$@!% to live with, so that's definitely saying something.
So I've refilled my carto's this morning and I'm plunging ahead. We'll see what happens lol.

Sorry for the spam. I was just proud of myself and thought I'd broadcast it

proud is good, and you have the right!! congrats!!

thats the most important thing about this hobbie!congrats keep at it.

 

[gasp]

thanks guys
i gotta say...one nice thing about having given up the analogs is not having to get up to go outside to smoke while i'm in the middle of a paper. just relying on the pv for that is nice.
now i just need to get a pass through lol

The first day for me completely smoke-free was the hardest, but not too difficult. Good luck and just don't smoke

and if you do have another analog, don't beat yourself up about it. That's OK too. Just remember all the analogs you are not smoking

 

[gasp]

lol so far today has been an interesting day. and slightly more difficult than yesterday (i thought the first day was supposed to be the hardest? lol)
i just started on my 2nd carto for the day. usually one will last me for the day.
however, something neato has happened.
i caught a cold about 2 days before i got my kr8. i finally managed (i think) to get rid of it this weekend. and oddly enough i can really /taste/ things again.
i actually had to cut back on the sugar in my coffee lol.
i need to make a trip to taco bell....

 

[rhoobarb]

well done and im on day 11 of no analogs and it ok know not having craveings so stick to it if you can

 

[gasp]

yay! i'm glad it's working for you. so far today is conspiring to drive me up the wall. ...ok actually the last month has and it's all led up to today.
can i go back to bed and start over now? lol

You might regret that! I used to love eating Long John Silver fried clams. Couple weeks after quitting analogs I went and got 2 orders like I usually do and BLECH!! haha so horrible!
I even tried again at a different long john's thinking it was an issue with the batch I got...and BLECH!!! hehe yucky.

I'm pretty new to vaping too and also find myself having a hard time not smoking analogs, especially when I have some drinks or take my medication Adderall for school (if any of you take Adderall, you know what I mean! makes you crave cigs even more!)

I'm working on it :-\

lol NOO!!! say it ain't so!!!
well, i guess the only way i'll find out is to try. if the worst happens then i guess there's another part of my life that i need to move on from lol.
/sigh

yay! working on it is good. and yeah i can see how adderall would make it a PITA to not have one. quite a few of the drugs that i'm on are giving me fits as well.

This isn't spam. It's what this forum is all about. And you should be proud.

For about a week after quitting I'd find myself looking for my pack of cigs at various times and then I'd think "Oh, right. I don't do that anymore." and pick up my PV. It was a question of habit rather than the addiction. The PV takes care of the later.

Since then, yesterday was the first time I really wanted a cig (stressful day) but there was no way I was having one after 8 weeks analog-free.

 

[grim_piper]

Go ahead and take a drag of an analog once in a while. The taste will soon be bad enough to make you wonder why you ever smoked. I've noticed this even more since vaping than when I had quit smoking cold turkey. Holy crap! I just looked at my banner and it's over 1600 ciggies avoided.
