April 11, 201412 yr Hi Caroljo, brilliant decision to switch off cigs. I tried an e cig and found it didn't work out for me but if it works for you then I think that's much better than smoking, I'm a whatever works kinda woman! I think what feels right is right and have known a few people now do the vaping/e cig options and they've got good strong quits! Looking forward to seeing your posts. x
April 11, 201412 yr Hi Caroljo! There are only a few hours between our quits. In these early days, that's a big deal! But in the weeks and months that are coming up, it will not make any difference at all. Great decision to quit!!!!!!
April 11, 201412 yr Hello and welcome to the best place to keep your quit going! Read and post a lot! Best of luck to you!
April 11, 201412 yr Hi Carol and welcome on board and congrats on making the best decision ever, quitting the cigs, all our quits are as unique as we are , stay close to the board and read as much as you can and educate yourself on the addiction, you will come to realise that you don't need the nicotine, and quitting isn't as scary as you first thought it was, I have found the wonderful people here so helpful in establishing my quit and knowing that I was never alone in my emotions on this journey so post as often as you can, I have no experience on quitting with E cigs but I have a friend who quit smoking over a year ago and is still using E cigs so please be aware they can be as addictive x

I'm a VERY addictive person, and I've tried everything I can think of to quit (patches, gum, chantix, and even accu puncture!) Never tried hypnosys. That freaks me out...Lol! I know that right now the e-cig is helping me, but I also know I need a plan to get off these also. There's an engineer that I work with that had to quit quite a while ago, he has COPD and I don't know what else, but he's a mess, and he had to quit. He is addicted to the gum....he hasn't smoked in I think 2 or 3 years, but he HAS TO have his nicotine gum. But, at least he's not getting the poison that you get with cigs. The gum always helped me to, but it drives me nuts because I have dentures and the gum sticks to them! Lol!
April 12, 201412 yr I'm a VERY addictive person You are not special. You are no more (or less) addicted than anyone else here. We are all addicts. Not a one of us is a Very Addict. Easy Peasy
April 12, 201412 yr Set a date - now, today, as you read this: set a date to be off the e-cigs and stick to it. The Sarge knows individuals still 5+ years later sucking on the damned things waiting for "when I'm ready ..." . Take quitting them every bit as seriously as you are taking quitting cigarettes. Easy Peasy me too... I have a friend at 5 years and in the beginning said they were using it to quit and would wean off the ecig. it has never happened. it makes me sad. they are now working on it and set a date in may.
April 12, 201412 yr Hi Caroljo, Sorry I am late to the part but welcome! Glad to see you are doing well!
