Today i have achieved....

[Rachy_B]

OK, so I've had a really good few days on the e-cig and thought it might be fun to start a thread where we can post our achievements for the day. I know some of you have ticker banners on the bottom of your posts but some of us aren't that technically minded and have cut down on analogues rather than quit entirely (FOR NOW! lol!)...

So...today I have achieved ONLY smoking one analogue! Down from 20 a day without an e-cig, to 10 a day with a e-cig two weeks ago! Also, I have a convert! A friend of mine borrowed a spare battery/cartomiser/juice and really thinks its going to help her!

This is totally stuck in my head now: Kool & The Gang - Celebration - YouTube

So come on guys, what have you achieved today? E-cig related, non e-cig related, whatever! Let's celebrate the positives!x

Good job. I made coffee today does that count? On a serious note how are you feeling now that you cut way back?

 

[Kopfstimmen]

Good for you! I'm happy to report that I have another potential convert... I trained a new sales clerk yesterday, and she's going to buy herself an ego twist now.
And RoseB - yes, I think making coffee should count...

Making coffee totally counts! I BOUGHT coffee cos I'm lazy! Lol! There are plenty of people who can't make coffee so I'm gonna count it as an achievement! Anything, big or small that has made your day counts! Coffee (especially decent coffee!) always makes my day!

I'm feeling really proud for having cut back! It's becoming a game of sorts. I have an app on my phone that counts the time in between cigarettes and the longest I've been awake without a cigarette is over 14hours which was unthinkable two weeks ago. The first cig or two on a morning is still really difficult but I'm working on that one slowly.

It's quite liberating to not be tied to cigarettes...I didn't realise how much they impacted on my life! I can now leave the house without having rolled two or three for my walk to classes, I can leave class without rolling one a cigarette, I don't have to time my walk by the number of cigarettes I can smoke in that time... I don't think I smoked so much from addiction but a lot of it was psychological habit and now that's starting to break, life is really good. The ability to think 'I want a cigarette...no I don't!' and mean it, or better yet, realise that I've not wanted one all day is incredible!x

I would have to say Making coffee also, along with getting to the store and opening it up

I got a 5 page letter written to my son in Navy boot camp in Great Lakes. I meant to write earlier in the week...but the week got away from me. But dammit...I wrote the letter! And he should get it right around Thanksgiving!

 

[RoseB]

Oh gawd opening a store trumps making coffee! Haven't had that displeasure in a few years.

Since you stated non e-cig related, I made a mile stone in understanding HTML 5 and CSS using notepad++. I'm building a web site.

What are vaping on... and ive been vaping for 5 months today!

 

[volume control]

Dont buy another pack of analogs. Whenever you get the urge to run to the store and buy another pack, try taking a good bunch of drags on your ecig, and see how you feel Worked for me!

By having that 1 cig a day, you're actually throwing yourself back into the addiction to those thousands of chemicals and the MAOI effect that the cigarette smoke has. I smoked and vaped for months before I made the switch completely, but it was a LOT easier for me once I stopped doing the 1 or 2 a day or just a few on the weekend. There is a withdrawal that most of us go through when switching over, and every single time you smoke, you're exposing yourself to the chemicals your body is withdrawing from..... this of course prolongs the time that you're going to "need" that one or two cigarettes. No judgement here, I did it too... but if you can talk yourself into just vaping for 10-15 minutes to see if that handles the morning crave, it might help you in the long run.

Today I managed not to kill anyone when my coffee maker wouldn't work.
