I run if I'm being chased...

I failed... Starting over with a pack of 18 left doesn't seem feasible, but I WILL SUCCEED DARN IT!!!

Not a failure, just a minor setback. Don't beat yourself up, quitting is very hard- but you can do it

I run if I'm being chased...

This made me
I was in GREAT shape when I was running, I miss that, and I'm not the type to go to the gym. So, I ran. I took a run with my dog this morning and I made it a bit farther (and its a plus that I wore him out as well ).

Sumi, how is your EC going? I have used one for 2 years. I was a 2 p/d marlboro red smoker and found out really quick that I needed something to take it all away. Check out this site for lots of help. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/

I lived on that site for about the first 6 months. Found a system that works for me, after about a month and a half. It is an investment. No doubt. I feel much better since I've quit the nic sticks. I am now working on lowering my nic content in my joose, started at 24mg, (also had 36 for really bad times) then went to 18 stayed there for over a year. Ive been on 12 for the last 5 months or so. Some days I want my 18 back lol, and when that time does happen, I grad a new set of batteries. Fresh charge and all that.

Good luck on your adventure, be positive, and enjoy knowing that you are all one day away from being smoke free!

Edited to say: I should have read all posts before I posted. Several of you are using E-cigs. I love it and you can do it. Those small cig looking e cigs are not worth squat imho. Been there done that, I've tried 3 different styles. Cig look, pen look and then this. This is what finally got me off real smokes. Also the link above. A lot of people, like here, who are willing to help with just about anything. Here's my ecig.

I actually have 2 wood Reo's which I love, however living living in the country and having country chores, I'm sad to say I broke one. Dropped one too many times. So my second wood one is sitting nice and safe indoor. My most used is the metal Reo. I have dropped it kicked it thrown it. It is tougher than me!

I have been on Ecigs for a few years now. I started with Halo and for a stick type e cig they perform better than most...but I was constantly having to buy new batteries and the charge doesn't last very long. So I decided to invest in a ProVari from Provape. It is VERY expensive ($300.00 )but does the job well and I don't have to constantly charge batteries. The secret to sticking with Ecigs is finding a juice that you like.....after that you won't want a cigarette anymore. I use "tobacco" flavor from Smokey Mountain Vapor out of Asheville, NC. It is BY FAR the best tasting juice out there! I have tried juices from probably 10 websites...most of them are HORRIBLE! If you are serious about quitting and can't just go cold turkey. Buy a good quality E cig...I would skip the stick types go to a larger type. It is an adjustment to go from a small cigarette to a big, heavy e cig but totally worth it! I feel so much better! Good Luck to yall!

That is what is great about V2...they replace your batteries forever...I bought an original 4...my husband lost 2 and the other 2 eventually quit working..so we ordered 2 more and called in the warranty on the other 2...
I have had them send me replacements for the replacements 2x since then. they never ask questions, or charge any shipping or fees or anything. I call and say this battery stopped working and in a few days I have a new one...so as soon as one starts to go wonky I give them a call.

When I first tried to quit I couldn't possibly if I had cigarettes. I had to run out and then not get more...just use the e cig and not carry extra money for the first week. After one week I could manage to go into a gas station without leaving with a pack of cigarettes... It's not too bad. You can do it.

Anyway v2cigs.com, use the code kmarine0120 and save 10%...

I don't need anything but my provari it is the best on the market! i don't get into the coupon codes etc.....I have nothing to gain from my post. i do not work for either company I mentioned and get nothing from it...i am just speaking from my e cig experiences over the last few years. i don't want the thread to turn into a coupon code dropping....getting kick back advertisments like the ecig forums.

I started smoking when I was in the 7th grade. I smoked about 1 ½ packs a day when I finally quit – which was when I was 30. I had tried, previously, many times to quit, but each time I would return to that habit. If my memory serves me, I believe I managed to stay away from smoking for a whole 6 weeks – that was my best effort. That is, until that fateful day when I gave them up for good. On that day, quitting became relatively easy. I swear, folks, sometimes we are our own worst enemies!

I was sitting on the couch opening a new pack. I had been worrying because I was getting heart palpitations when I straighten up after stooping down to pick something up. I had a suspicion it was due to my smoking. I said out loud, “I think I will try to quit smoking again.” My late wife latterly flew out of the kitchen with her finger pointing right at me. “That’s it!! That’s why you won’t succeed! You said you are going to TRY! You left a door open through which you can fail!” She then smugly returned to the kitchen. I was stunned. She was right. That was the day I closed the door. After that, it wasn’t too terribly difficult to quit.

If there is one word of encouragement I could give it would be this: If you stick with it, there will come a time when you will no longer crave a smoke. I have heard people say that the need to smoke never goes away, but that is a lie; you can truly quit. I am now 68 years old and I haven’t had a cigarette since I was 30. Oh, and the heart palpitations? I was right – they stopped when I stopped smoking.
