Hey YellowSnowDrop,
you are doing absolutely brilliantly and the positivity within you is shining through, it really does help.
Sometimes it's worth making a mental note of the times you feel this good so that when / if you take a nose dive it will help you to realise that the nosedive feeling doesn't last
Good evening all. Thought I'd post an update on my quit story. I have been stopped since 28th October. Been using patches and e-cig. Started a new job last week and on Wednesday forgot to put my patch on, survived so haven't put one on since. Still using my ecig but only a few times per day. Feel like I want to rid myself of nicotine! Any advice?
Hey well done Kizwiz over a month of quitting. As for the getting rid of the nicotine dont worry too much.
I used the inhalator similar to the e cig, what i did is didnt put a new cartridge in, then when I need it I only had a minimal taste , I think the act of using it was enough. I soon didnt need it even though I wouldnt go out without it for ages. At least your not inhaling all those poisons cigarettes have.
Aup Wiz, its great to see ya
Firstly, a massive well done to you for getting over a Month quit yeyyyyyyyyy As for you asking for advice about cutting down on the nicotine, WELL, your already doing it ! you've cut the patches out
Rite you have an e-cig, there are different strengths of nicotine !! so cut them down then, like Jillygirl has said, just have a puff on them when the nicotine has gone if you see what I mean cos a lot of smoking is habbit, not just the nicotine
Please please, dont cut down to quickly eh do it at your own pace, when you are ready for it
Speak soon Wiz, Pete
Hi jillygirl, thanks for the advice. Got it in my head that I will not really be on the road to recovery until I am completely rid of nicotene. Can't really believe how good I am doing. I do love reading about others success stories on here. I find it very encouraging.
