Test Passed thanks to my e-cig

[NeMom]

I have been vaping for 11 days today and really love it. Last night I passed, what in my mind was a huge test, I went up to the bar for a couple of drinks and did not bum a analog from anyone. I did not even feel the desire to bum one and go out with the rest of the smokers. To me this is a big victory because every other time I have tried to quit analogs going to the bar and drinking was always my downfall.
As a matter of fact, one of the ladies who has been using her own e-cig and I started comparing devices at the table and I was letting her experiment with the different flavors I have. Our table looked like a science class. Ha, ha.
This may not seem exciting to anyone else however, to me it is huge!!

As a person that also enjoyed a smoke with my drink I can understand how big of a step this is. I just quit going to the bar for a couple weeks so I wouldnt be tempted.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! Once you get the required number of posts, I suggest you get a banner that goes in your signature at the bottom of your posts telling you how many days you've quite analogs and the number which you have avoided for extra motivation.

Congrats again and keep vaping!!

Congratulations! Way to go!
+1 on the banner... It can be a motivator.

Its an accomplishment for sure, I think most smokers feel the strong urge to puff analogs when your out drinking, im in Edmonton, smoking is banned in all public places, I think i would feel wierd vaping in those spots,.....I think the Vaping is such an awesome way to get off analogs, ive not purchased analogs for 6 weeks now, my lungs feel better already.....and I cant wait to get my banner...

Yay! congrats that is one of the most difficult things to overcome and I totally identify with how challenging it is. And to make it even worse people will offer you a smoke or say "hey lets go out side and have a smoke" lol

I actually enjoy vaping while drinking way better than I ever did smoking, it is much more satisfying.

It's not just you it's a huge test for almost anybody that drinks and smokes. If I'm out it's a little easier just don't bring any cigs with me but once I get home I have cigs in the fridge (becuase I smoke so little they would go stale) and it's all over once I see my cigs when I have a buzz.

I know some people that normally go all week without smoking or vaping but become instant smokers once they start drinking.

I've just about reached the point where I don't even bother vaping anymore except for when I am drinking.
In fact, if not for drinking, I might nearly just about stop vaping altogether.

Although I do sometimes need to vape some WTA juice when things get stressful.
But other than that, yeah, I just don't bother for the most part.

I dont drink much anymore. When I did, it was nothing for me to polish off a pack or two in just a few short hours. I did go to a bar for a cocktail a couple of weeks ago and noticed vaping was fine enough. I didnt miss the stinkies at all!

Congrats!! It's day 74 for my husband and myself. Still have one pack of unopened analogs-just in case at first, now just keeping it to prove to myself that it doesn't bother me. Used to drink too and I usually smoked a pack or more just when drinking. Used to smoke a lot at my computer too, but vaping is just as satisfying to me now. I have purchased extra batteries during all these Christmas sales, just so I don't have the problem of a dead or dying battery. The pass throughs are great at home. I just use a USB hub (not plugged into the computer) on the couch while charging another battery.

Congrats on keeping first things first

Good job!
I totally understand the difficulty of quitting smoking, I'm still working on it...
