Hi John, sorry I nearly missed you! A massive welcome to the site and ginormous congratulations on achieving your first week stop - wow that is brilliant so well done you! :)

Distractions and changes in routine are a fantastic tip because they reduce the triggers and cravings at your normal smoking times - so thinking of something different to do, or slight changes in your routines really does help

Don't hesitate to come online if you finding it tough or just want to ask something, or just want a chat! Everyone here is in exactly the same boat and really do understand what you are going through in the way that the non smokers in your life don't understand

And welcome to week 2 of your stop!!!!! :0 :) :)

Hi John. Welcome - to the friendliest quit site in the World.

Well done. A week with no analogues is extrmely impressive.

I too am using Ecigs (V2cigs) and I have to be honest, I did initially feel a fraud if I stated that I'd quit smoking, as I'd just replaced one method for another.

Now? Nearly 4 weeks on them and feeling proud. No matter if I'm on these this time next year. .. it's still so much better than the sticks!

Keep on being strong. You can DO this!
