Reciprocity

Embrace the quitting process by understanding that you are finally in control of that addiction and calling ALL the shots. It has NO say in your life any longer!! Yes the addiction will try and persuade you to give up on quitting and feed it again but you're not going to do that because smoking only brings harm to you. Be sure to join us tomorrow for the Thursday N.O.P.E. pledge. Start your day right by telling your addiction who's in charge :)

You are correct Nancy. Now I'm 2

Big Welcome AgaveGirl1 :) Yes, you're doing the best thing possible for yourself by quitting smoking and it's understandable you're a little apprehensive as you come closer to cutting the cord on smoking. But what you will gain by remaining quit is some much better, it's worth a little discomfort going through the process. Please come here often and participate as much as you can. I've noticed that those who participate a lot, seem to do much better with their quits. In terms of the e-cig thing; I'm leaning toward the bad & ugly options you mentioned; certainly not the good. Quitting smoking really consists of two separate things in my opinion. Getting the nicotine out of you system then, reprogramming your brain to handle mundane day to day things without smoking. If you are putting nicotine into your system in any way, that defeats the first issue I mentioned. If you are breathing in vapor through a plastic tube, you are going through the same motions you did when you were smoking cigs. To really free yourself, the sooner you get rid of both those things, the better and the sooner you will rebuild your metal attitude toward smoking in general. That's my opinion only, I'm sure you get other opinions here as well. You've done a great thing by joining our group as well. It REALLY helps to have others around you who are going through all the same things you are so, be sure to come here often. Read all the material you can and watch the videos to. Understanding that smoking is an addiction is critical to moving on without it and being happy about it. Welcome again and hope to see you around often. Go to our Daily NOPE Pledge thread every day and pledge your NOPE (Not On Puff Ever). This helps to reinforce your quit commitment daily :)
