11 days-no cigarettes

[jenniferfersure]

I have put down cigarettes and picked up vaping to help the quitting process. I'm going so strong! Last time I tried to quit, I only lasted 7 days.

Hi Jenniferfersure a big warm welcome to our lovely quit support community and a great big massive well done to you for reaching 11 days quit too

I see our lovely Briarwood has given you some great advice already

Your doing ever so well Jenny, you really are What I would like you to do please, is sit yourself down, and write out on a piece of paper, the WHY's you want to quit and perhaps make a few copies of it eh and where ever you think you will get the erg to think about smoking, then stick one their

make it colourful so it stands out this way, you will see it and read it and get it sort of drummed into your brain

Plus, try to think back to when you quit for 7 days, then started again Why did you start smoking again thinking back, could you have done something to help yourself What was the issue what time of day was it where were you at the time Try to make a plan, if you see what I mean sooooo, if that issue occurs again, you will be ready for it

Jenny, if you would be so kind as to let me know your quit date, then I can add you to the Wall of Winners and keep your Winners badge upto date

Please, please feel free to ask any questions, or if you just want a good old moan, or just a chat, then come on here and we will try to help you

Hoping to speak soon Pete

I quit on 8-9-15. I gave my pack of cigarettes away and immediately bought my vape. I have no urge to smoke a cigarette. The smell kind of bothers me now. My Vape satisfies my cravings. Thank you all for the supportive comments

Hi everyone! I quit 5 weeks ago. I feel pretty good but I sneeze a lot and have nasal congestion. I quit for 4 years before and started up again. This time it is for good.

Hiya EllahH, its lovely to meet you and a big warm welcome to our lovely quit support forum

5 weeks quit is just flippin ACE gal and as for your sneezing, ermm, quite a few of us seem to get what we've nick-named the quitters flue it should get easier for you soon if not, then please nip and see your GP and let them know you have quit

Just wandering Ellah, are you using any form of NRT to help you quit cos this could be a side affect from it and if you could please let me know your actual quit date, then I can sort you a Winners badge out and add you to the Wall of Winners Thank youuuuu

Hi and thank you. No, I quit cold Turkey. I quit July 16, 2015 when I landed in the ER. Enough to scare the pants off of me. I was never a heavy smoker in fact, I never finished a cig and went days in btw without smoking but I had a big scare and have not picked one up since that date.

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to Hidden]

I take my hat off to you Ellah, for going it cold turkey cos I know I could never do it that way

Ellah, if you want some help or just need to chat to someone, then please , please dont hesitate you come a flippin shouting gal and we will try to help you plus, it does help to talk

Take care now Ellah and good luck

Thank you..it isn't alway easy. I often think about my morning coffee (am caffeine free as well) and that 1 cig that began my morning...I'm waiting to see how I do when stressful situations come up. You're right it does help to talk and thanks again. I'm off to work shortly. Be awesome people and hang in there

[Briarwood Administrator Ducky in reply to Hidden]

Hiya Ellah and welcome to quit support 😊

Congratulations on 5 weeks quit and caffeine as well, got to hand it to ya, that's awesome👍🏼

Keep up the good work and here's to a healthier future😊x

[Hidden in reply to Briarwood]

Thank you very much! Def healthier. At times I think if I didn't end up in the ER I probably would still smoke. I have to confess sometimes..only sometimes I recall what it was like to smoke my "former" best cig of the day...but even if I wanted to go back I can't it would kill me ..literally
