Thanks for the info, D
I might go the reddit route through any one of the boxes/computers I can browse and display through the tv with. At least for a bit while I dabble further.
If I were being honest (and not a geek about this), I get more than enough content with about $20/month in subscriptions (on top of the cost of internet). All above board and without flaky service or the Sword of Damocles (in the form of policing) over my head.
Whats up fellow Reonauts? Been browsing daily but been very quiet. I have officially made it 30 days now, all is still well, and no one has died as an end result...
Please keep up the updates. I am very interested in how you progress.
I have not personally met anyone who was as into vaping as you were who quit.
Good Morning Reonauts. Friday is getting closer....

There is a new thread in The Lounge about Kicking Cable. Just started this week. It started on the Back Porch, then moved to a Conversation, & has now been copied as a thread since it allows more people to play. You want geek? There ya go!Thanks for the info, D

Hey Papa, its going pretty good so far. Can't say I really have had any cravings or withdrawal symptoms as yet. That might have to do with my cutting nic out completely almost 2yrs ago... I would say that occasionally I'll be doing something and without even realizing it, I will look around for my grand and then realize I'm not vaping anymore and just go back to what I was doing without a hitch!! The activity that was effected the most was when I pick up my guitar and start playing. The in between tunes part has taken some adjusting, but going very well so far.
The funniest thing about my quitting is its been a month now and "NO ONE" around me has even noticed!!
That might give you an idea of how little I have been vaping in the last 6 months...

Interesting. I'm particularly intrigued with how you transpose the behaviours associated with the few remaining triggers.
For me, vaping works because I've replaced all smoking behaviour, not done without. You gradually ceased those things (eg, no nic for 2 years, decrease in vape frequency) until you could do without the everyday habit, but you still have the music - something deeply ingrained in you and strongly associated to smoking/vaping. Can't ever see you doing without the music, so rendering any vaping trigger that comes with it inert would prolly be the ultimate step.
You might say "actually, that's no problem, either" - I hope you do, for that would mean complete success - but I'm intrigued by the issue of our cardinal triggers, the ones that are so deeply established.
Good Morning Reonauts, and TGIF ! I am so looking forward to no alarm clock tomorrow ( although the dogs will probably wake me anyways)

It wasn't until I got to the point of not having to have the device in my hand 24/7 that it finally dawned on me that this was a real possibility of me not vaping anymore. I think it all falls into the category of, "you have to believe in your head that this is what you want", before it will actually work!!
The number of times I said, "I can quit this anytime I want to" was an echoing theme in my head but my head couldn't or didn't want to grasp it fully... I just never had the desire to just quit. That was with analogs and then with vaping. I think the reason I vaped so long is the same thing only I knew in my head it was safer than using analogs. I got the same satisfaction with vaping that I had with analogs. As soon as I started vaping I never had the desire to light up an analog anymore. Once I had it in my head that I could go out and do something without the device in my hand, it really became easy and more of a reality of what was to come.
As to the triggers, they are all mental and in my head. As an example, in the morning with a cup of coffee or after a meal, I would always smoke / vape because it was just a routine I had been doing for the last 45 years. I don't, or try not to think in that manner now and it is working. When I play music, once I was finished with a set or since vaping once I finished a song, I would take a hit or two and it would tie me over until the next one was finished. Like I said before, when the trigger hits me and I go to reach for the device and its not there, it just takes seconds to realize I no longer vape.
Over the first few weeks the coffee, meals, and the in between projects were all triggers that I have seemed to overcome and the last one remaining seems to be when I play music, but it has gotten better now because I am trying to play daily now to help get me through it, (in my head, quicker). Its only for that brief 1-2 seconds for my head to tell me I don't do that anymore but its just the going through the mechanics of it. I know this shall pass the same way those others did and its better today than it was a month ago, so I am hopeful that in another month it will be even better and this will pass as well....
I think it all boils down to keeping you're mind occupied by other things and that I for once made a conscious decision and "believe" that I no longer "need" this to function anymore...
Good Morning Reonauts ! Twelve hours of blissful sleep ! Musta needed it.
Springlile temps in our area today, already told Mamaw this weekend is all about the yard. Time to get busy around here.

We've got the springlike conditions here as well, although the ground is quite wet with the snow that has melted in the last 48hrs!! No yard work today...
Light summer rain. Mostly passed the heat now. Doubt we'll get more 100s.
