Hi Fresher - and a massive warm welcome to the site - it's so lovely to meet you and CONGRATULATIONS on reaching Day 12 - fantastic!

This site really does help to support you as you go through the recovery process, and everyone really is very friendly as well

I'm also using the e-cig and I really do believe that it has been the difference between success and failure to me, I am so happy to have not even wanted a cigarette since. I've had triggers and other problems, but I am getting through them and feeling so happy when I have - you just have to believe in yourself and what you want to achieve, a smoke free lifestyle

So well done you for stopping smoking and I'll look forward to hearing about how you are getting on!

Welcome to the forum.I think you'll find a LOT of folk on here have quit really successfully (me included) using an ECig.Maybe Al (Pinkiezoom) might check in later and she's at about 3 months now.Main thing to remember is that it is absolutely possible to quit with an ECig and also to stay close to the site for a while just until you find your feet.Plenty folk around to offer help and encouragement if needs be.Make contingency plans for those days when it might be hard,decide on a plan of action for when you go out socialising without your cigs and other than that GOOD LUCK H x

Keep up the good work!

Hi Fresher, welcome to this wonderful site. Sounds like you're doing great, well done. I'm 3 weeks on ecig and the terrific people on this site keep me going, it's brilliant. Wouldn't manage without them. It's a lot of fun and everyone helps each other. So welcome x

Oh yeah forgot to say you picked a good name, just remember how good you gonna smell now. It was one of the things I hated most about smoking - the smell. My hubby is still smoking so that's a reminder to me that I don't want to smell like that again! Well done to you x

Feeling very supported already and had an extremely stressful day and still smoke free yippee..... Although I did think I'd lost the plot at one point as I was having my e cig I covered it as I put it in my mouth as if I was lighting it and the wind was going to blow it out haha. I've had the breathlessness to and started with the sore mouth this morning and was great to hear it's quite normal after reading all your posts. X

[Briarwood Administrator Ducky in reply to Fresher]

Oh yes, I've done that on a windy day as well! Ha ha x

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to Fresher]
