I finally did it - I quit smoking!!

[MossRose]

After 39-1/2 years. Finally!!! I know there are probably dozens of threads dedicated to giving up tobacco, but I'm just so proud that I want to scream..."I QUIT"...from the top of a mountain. I have to admit, I am vaping, which technically means I'm still getting nicotine for the time being. But no more tar, no more smoke, no more chemicals. And I feel terrific. It is one week today!! My sons and parents are so proud of me. I am so proud of me. I m stepping down from nicotine each week until I am at zero!! This is the only thing that has ever worked for me. I have done patches, gum, Chantix, hypnosis, etc. Nothing has ever stuck. But this time, it's been a breeze. Literally. Just wanted to share this with you, my friends. Oh and an added benefit - I think about drinking a whole lot less when I'm not smoking. Go figure

It was weird, Avail. I was talking to a woman at work and she was always a very heavy smoker. She told me that she started vaping and hadn't touched a real cig in 9 months!! I was intrigued. So, I found a vapor shop near me, stopped in that very night, and asked them if they could help. And, they did. I got an e-cig with a custom-blended juice that tastes just like my nasty cigarettes. I know it's not technically "quitting", but I haven't bought a pack of cigs in over a week. I am going back tomorrow for a refill, and I'm dropping the amount of nicotine. Plus, in the US - a pack of cigarettes cost at least 7 dollars. Multiply that by 30 or 31 days in a month, and it gets depressing. This costs me less than 50 cents per day. So one more incentive for quitting completely. I figure it will take me about 2 months to completely stop vaping, but until then...I feel great.

good for you Mossey
I never was a smoker (of tobacco that is) But the wife is, wish she'd stop. Not sure I am understanding how you're quitting.
best to you
