    No More Butts...The Beginning..

    Hi Patrice,

    I'm using nothing but good old stubbornness! I refuse to be enslaved to cigarettes anymore. You will not believe how freeing it really its. I used to find myself rushing around to sneak in my smoke (I was a closet smoker...ONLY smoked at home in my backyard). Today at lunch I was able to run errands without having to squeeze in a trip home to sneak my ciggie. I'm starting to appreciate being free...yeah, I'm having my moments now and then where I "forget" I quit and I can't wait to get home and have one....but they pass!

    You'll know when you're ready...don't take on too much at once or you will be overwhelmed. Focus on AF...then worry about the fags

        LOL Mama! I wish I'd become obsessed with cooking...well maybe not...then I'd pack on the pounds... How did your chili turn out? I made some the other night...I slaved over a can opener for a good 2 minutes. HA

                      Wow Niner - I'm well impressed!! Been 'lurk' following your progress It's deffo on my 'to do' list - just a matter of when 'to do' As we apparently have the same quit date (just saw that on an earlier post) - I reckon I need to try and keep in touch with you on the fags! Have the craving's eased a bit?- need to know how many days of abject misery I'd have before reverting to being a vaguely human human bein:H?

                        Hi Molly!

                        No real "misery" for me, just kind of a let down knowing my "reward" was gone. I'd look forward to having one after work, or going home at lunch time and having one. I just try not to think about it. It really IS getting easier. I went all day yesterday and didn't even think about it...I've gone 30 days before using an "e-Cigarette"...but I'm not using one this time. I don't want to "pretend" to smoke. I'm trying to break the habit, after all!

                        p.s. I should mention that on day 3 I had a horrible migraine that I'm sure was brought on by nicotine withdrawals. And yesterday, although I didn't physically crave a ciggie, I was kinda being grumpy until I ate....not sure if it had anything to do with the cigs...or lack of.

                            God - that doesn't sound so bad really! I think I would agree with the 'cold turkey' approach. I do remember all those years ago when I did quit - it was the lack of something to do with my hands was my problem - I heard JC saying the same thing - so the E-cigs wouldn't break that - just sort of feed the habit. Well done you - oh and re. the grumps till you got the food - I still get like that - I thought it was the one remaining part of not having the glass of wine before my dinner --- maybe I'm just that ----- grumpy:H Thanks for sharing your progress x

                              I would love to quit the cigs but one thing at a time...I have a long road with the AF days and months ahead of me but I must say, the last five days I have been smoking like a crazy woman. I guess whatever gets me through the AF days for now. Good Luck to those who are quiting.
