mjradik Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Just want to make a personal announcement. Have been 1-1.5 pack/day smoker for 15 years. I did quit once for 3 months 3 years ago, but didn’t last. Been vaping for 8 days now. In the first 7 days, I reduced my analog intake to 3-4 cigs/day. Now on day 8, its been 24 hours since my last analog, and I hope no more analogs. I can now add my banner to my signature, lol… Funny to see such a fresh/newbie banner, when compared to others that have like 300+ days or 800+ days, lol… Well you always got to start somewhere. It’s interesting though. While vaping for the last 7 days, I had urges to go down to my garage and smoke an analog. Not because I was craving nicotine, because it was such a habit, and ritual for me. And when I did smoke, they tasted gross, yes I still had the urge to do it… Weird.. Anyways, been rambling long enough and had to get this off my chest. Time to go update my facebook page. :-)
Phaseman66 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Way to go! ...and they say "no one likes a quitter". VaporTalk does.
CDATundra Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Congrats, and good luck on your journey. It's a "fun" ride.
mjradik Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks all. I need a good support group.... LOL... "Hello my name is Marc, and I'm NOT a smoker"...
Corbi Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Congratulations! Every journey starts with the first step.
nana Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Congratulations!! I know how good it feels to make it through that first 24 hours. It gets better and better, too.
mjradik Posted August 9, 2011 Author Posted August 9, 2011 Well 4 days in, and still good. Its so wierd. Over the weekend I was fine, no cravings. But yesturday, I got very busy at work, and stressed. Its such a habbit to have a smoke during stressfull times, I was craving a cig... But I was also vaping at the time, so I know it wasn't a nicotine cravings because I was getting that... It was just the habbit of going outside and relaxing that my mind wanted... lol... so wierd and hard... But I got through it by chain vaping outside... hahaha..
Viper Ron Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 At work I still go out with the analog smokers and have a break. It is just one of those things that seem regular out of many little quirks
