It's such a pleasure to have someone truly committed to their quit and doing all the prep work for success! You sound like a winner already!

11 kittens!! You're newest arrivals are so cute!

Hi all, thanks for the encouragement and support. Today is the 7th day of my Chantix ramp-up. Tomorrow I start taking the full dose. And tomorrow, August 4th, is my quit day!! I've been watching Joel's videos, making lists of why I'm quitting and how I'm going to do it, telling friends and family my plan and getting my tools ready. Tonight I will get rid of all vapes and cigs. Tomorrow I will be here to pledge NOPE and check-in. I know the first few days will be the hardest but I will tough it out and be rewarded in so many ways. I'm ready to say b'bye to that nasty ball and chain. JoJo

NOPE!

Hi Reci Not been here for a while sorry to read about your troubles but glad to see you've discovered it early. Best wishes for your treatment glad your staying positive.Your doing a great thing documenting your experience for others I've just had my first low dose CT scan which was negative your experience highlights the need to get the scan.Luckilly mine was free as England is rolling out a cancer screening programme for those at risk of lung cancer. All anyone has to do is ask their GP for a referral to the scheme.The scan is painless and only takes a few minutes. Keep your chin up recip I hope all goes well for you.

Unfortunately, you are not alone where you find yourself today. So many chose to vape in the hope of quitting smoking but instead as you and everyone else discovered all it did is increase the "want" for more and more nicotine by changing the mechanics of getting it. An addiction to nicotine is still an addiction regardless of the device used. The only way out is to discontinue its use in all forms. (The vaping industry makes me soooooo mad can you tell lol). You can do this. Educate yourself (read, read read; find the bullet points that speak to you and send you over the wall of "no going back") and do your prep work (plan, tools, mantras, lists, rewards, etc.). You have to choose freedom every day in the beginning and be willing to go through whatever it takes to get yourself off the merry-go-round of active addiction. No shortcuts. Total abstinence is key. NOPE. Not One Puff Ever. Break the chains. Best Wishes.
