Great job Jay...keep it going. How's the wife do I g in her quest to quit?

Keep up the good work! Once you are all done just start using nicotine free juices. Then learn to build your own atomizers!!!! That's what I'm doing now. It's fun and the flavor differences are unbelievable!

Good luck to both you and your wife; quit 6 years ago this July. Long road but well worth it.

Smoked for 30+ plus years Jay. Did the electronic thing and it did help. I quit 2 yrs ago February and still have urges and know I always will. Resign yourself to knowing its an addiction is step 1. Find your habits ie... smoking after you eat.....with your coffee in the morning ,and other mannerisms such as putting your hand to your mouth,crossing your fingers when you hold a cig ... for some examples. Now pick one of those habits and eliminate one at a time in your daily routine, in other words pick your battle plan and win the battle before thinking you can win the complete war.
Believe in yourself and be proud. You can beat it ! -

I'll post some pics tonight of my current setup in the non cigar section for ya -
The E-cig helps....my hardest time is in the mornings. Wake up, piss, coffee, (used to) go out to smoke. I use my E-cig pretty heavily during that time. I seem to use it a little bit more heavy while I'm driving also. A habit of mine was always, if I got in the car...I lit up. Didn't matter if I'd just had one 5 minutes ago...I'd light up.curtpick:Smoked for 30+ plus years Jay. Did the electronic thing and it did help.

It's not been to tough...only 1 or 2 really strong cravings for a real smoke. Even had a buddy (cause we're ass's like that) run a cigarette under my nose today. "Uh, yeah...no thanks". Tell ya the truth...I felt pretty good about it!
The wife and I are trying not to push this to fast. I'm pretty sure if we push to hard, to fast....we'll tumble back into it.
Thanks for the great advice! I really do appreciate all the support from you guys. It really does help! -
Take a peek at the thread i posted for you.... some pics. lol

Think about this....Flavors and aromas will come back with a bang.

Update: I'm still at 0 smokes on the year! Ok, 22 days. My vape usage is dwindling slowly. The wife broke and had 1 cig in a drunken moment, and said it was absolutely horrible!
-
Good going brother.just think of all the money you'll save not buying cigarettes,money you could put towards another more enjoyable hobby ....
-
Congratulations bro and much respect for you. Quitting smoking was the hardest thing ive done and it took me a bout a year of off and on to finally kick it. It's good you and your wife can support eachother though!

That's great to hear. Very great.New Boots:Update: I'm still at 0 smokes on the year! Ok, 22 days. My vape usage is dwindling slowly. The wife broke and had 1 cig in a drunken moment, and said it was absolutely horrible! -

Bump for Randy

Thinking about doing this as well.Thinking and doing are two different things, though! I can go any 4 day with out smoking, first day at work....light up. Might need to lay off cigars for a bit, I think having the nicotine in my system from gars makes the return to cigarettes not as a painful as it should be.

Get. The. Vape!
(for me)
The Vape gives you the sensation and NIC you are looking for. 4.5 months in, and I'm off cig's and vape. Cigars only now. -
I think you're right. I had to quit all tobacco for a few months, then go back to cigars. One thing that helped, when I broke down and had a cigarette I'd smoke it like a cigar. No inhaling. Search for the tobacco flavors, such as they are.Rain:Thinking about doing this as well.Thinking and doing are two different things, though!

Today makes 9 months! Sorry, but I'm pretty happy about this! I honestly didnt think I'd make it this far.

Awesome. Keep it up. If you made it this long, you should be able to go forever. After I quit chewing I had heavy cravings for the first two months. After about six months I had no desire whatsoever to start again. Coming up on 11 years, if I remember the year correctly.

Congratulations. You should feel proud you've made it a reality. In fact I think you should change the title of your thread now to something big like "Now Nine Months Cigarette Free!"

+1 what a great accomplishment. I was one of those, "I only smoke when I drink" kinda guys that full time smokers hate bc we're always bumming smokes. When I decided I was done it was easy for me to stop. Cant imagine what you've went through! Congrats again and someone shoot me his addy!!!Bob Luken:Congratulations.

thats freakin awesome Jay! I'm almost 4 months without snuff. And hating every minute of it. How have you been doing on the the eating thing. I'm eating all the time mostly fruit and veggies but I've had to kick my walks up a notch from 1 hour to 2 hours every day so I'm just able to keep my weight steady. Don't want to gain back all I lost.New Boots:Today makes 9 months! Sorry, but I'm pretty happy about this! I honestly didnt think I'd make it this far.
