Hi Abuelajeannie ,

I'm surviving without mine for 11 days now.

You can do it! We can do it!

Back home now even surrounded by smokers I hardly missed my ecig this morning, think this is a good sign now for me to quit vaping possibly sooner than I planned

That's great Jean. Keep us updated. Obviously I have an ulterior motive but I am genuinely happy to hear it's already going well for you.

I agree with you we have to do what feels right for us, I'm not 100% sure I'm totally ready yet to quit vaping altogether so going to take it day by day or even hour by hour for now. This morning I was fine and so far I haven't touched it today, but I know it's there if I need it.

How's going with staying off the ecig Jean?

I'm going to start cutting down when I go to work next week. I'll try to stay off it completely during the day.

Hi Nozmo I've left it at home when I go out, yesterday i found it a bit difficult I think because I was out a long time. Ive been out without it this morning but was only out for a couple of hours and I was fine. Gradual process I think I'm going to continue leaving it at home and cutting down on use in the house. All day might be too much for you, not worth endangering your quit, we are both doing great I'm sure a gradual wean will work for us after all were not vaping nicotine we just need to get passed the hand to mouth habit. We will do it xx

I like your process of gradually weaning. I'm going to try it on Monday, will take it to work but leave it in the car. That way if I get desperate I can clock out and get it, but hopefully I won't. I think work is a good place to start as I'll be busy all day.

Thanks Jean, enjoy your day.
