What a difference one week makes.

[starrynight]

Last Friday I smoked analogs.
Last Friday I had could feel the tightness in my chest.
Last Friday I was a smoker for about 20 years and new it was time to stop that clock.
Last Friday I worried about my health, my future, and the damage I was doing.
Last Friday I would stand in the cold because in my mind it was worth it.
Last Friday I heard wheezing when I would lay down to fall asleep.

One week in and I feel like a new person.. it's been a great week.

Awesome! Congrats! Keep it up and feel even better!

Good for you. Glad to hear it's working out for you really well. I like success stories.

Congrats of quitting. Just wait, with a bit more time your taste buds and smell will come back another benefit from quiting. Only drawback is the bad smells will be really bad, but nothing a can of air freshener cant fix.

Only drawback is the bad smells will be really bad, but nothing a can of air freshener cant fix.

But that can wouldn't help with eliminating someones BO.
Just an observation.

Welcome starrynight. You're right, each day is a new day with new possibilities. We never know what is waiting for us next week. Today, you found what you didn't know last week, and it's so wonderful. It's doubly lucky too, you have found the world of vaping, plus ECF . . . a great combo!

Again, welcome, and enjoy your journey!

That is one of the most amazing things about the PV that I have found -- within about a week, your opinions toward analogs can change completely. Think back to quitting with other methods -- how you felt at one week quit! Personally, I was miserable and still wishing I had a cigarette. These little things are absolutely amazing! I've never felt so GOOD about quitting.

Congratulations, and best of luck in your journey!

At one week into vaping I was still struggling a little, but after five months, all of my analog cravings are completely gone, and my health is much imporved. Good Luck to you on your vaping journey.

The good thing about kicking analogs is that the benefits never go away.

Congrats starrynight!!! I 'hear' it gets better and better! I'm really enjoying this new journey...every day brings on something new!

What a coincidence!

Last Friday I was also worried about my health.
Last Friday I was a smoker for about 10 years (pack a day).
Last Friday it also made sense to stand out in the freezing weather (I still go out with the analog smokers though lol).

AND

Last Friday was also when I had my last analog!


Congrats to us both!! Lets keep it up!

 

[starrynight]

Oh, that first week, when we realized it was all possible!!

Not to step on any toes, but, it may have been (close to) just as good as stalking the mailman for the first time

You go starrynight!!

Congrats starrynight, those weeks turn into months and before you know it you'll be saying "a year ago"....

Starrynight congrats, It will be one week tomorrow for me. This afternoon I hiked up a mountain here in PA. There was a considerable difference. It was much easier. Last night I stopped at my favorite watering hole that is a smoking bar to eat and have my 3 beers. I could smell an analog in an ashtray near me. That never happened before. I had no desire for an analog even while having some beers. I can't wait to see what else happens.

Congrats! I'm 2 days into vaping, and down to only 3 analogs today (normally a pack a day.) Can't wait to hit that 1 week mark with none myself, but I 'm certain it will come. Have an excellent tobacco-free weekend!
