I think I might be on a WINNER

[P2PLeon]

I have less than half an hour to do 2 days worth of abstinence from smoking.

Sorry I have not been keeping you all updated.

I have now made 2 days worth from smoking.

Dude, you last posted nine days ago.

 

[P2PLeon]

Better late than never.

Like John says you last posted 9 days ago & then you was using disposables, now your telling us you done 2 days so 7 days back on the cigs, what happened ure disposable run out & 2 days you got your giro or summat fmbab

 

[P2PLeon]

NO! It has been on and off. done about 5 days out of the 9 spoken about.

So one day on and one day off.

With the possibility getting to 2 days.

This is just history interminably repeating itself isn't it? I am slightly surprised that you feel we need to know all this? I well remember how "popular" (sic) this nonsense was on UKV and yet you seem to feel that we deserve a rehash of it again?

I had been finding it hard as of late.

As when I do have one, I cough profusely and flake out.

Due to me having Narrow Airways.

So within a week of on and off, I would have smoked about 10-14 packets and only had 4 in total this week.

Also, I started to Vape again on Saturday Night and Sunday Morning at 12 AM.

It will soon be my 2nd day done at midnight.

Also as it was the 6th yesterday, it is 2 months away from my birthday. And since I have hardly been thinking about smoking.

I know I am onto a winner.




So if I do abstain for that length I will have beaten my 42 days done back in 2016 by 19 days making 61 days.

i think you focus too much on an obsessive calculating of days, packs, months etc.

you need to just resolve to not smoking any fags and forget about how long it’s been, how many fags you’ve smoked, how much you’ve cut down etc. and just focus on the fact that you’re not going to smoke any more.

because otherwise you’ll constantly cave in and smoke as a kind of reward for having done so well at not smoking for 10 hours, 3 days, 17 minutes, or whatever amount of time it is.

I think if i had continued smoking i wouldn't be here, i developed Asthma and COPD and still carried on smoking, then i suffered Heart Failure and Pneumonia plus some other bug that i never found out about. I got out of Hospital and the first thing i did was look into vaping, i joined my POTV Family and haven't looked back. They have taught me everything i know and have always supported me, which i really Thank them all for, had a really bad time of it over the past few months and missed this Forum and it's members. Stick with vaping and forget smoking, you will get all the help you will ever need right here. Good Luck.

Same here, I switched on my daughters 16th birthday. I was getting really worried that I wouldn't see her turn 18. It's been 7 years now and my health is still not great but I'm still here and not had any serious problems since.

With the right motivation, it was pretty easy to switch to vaping and this forum helped me make it work. I still feel great every day when I wake up and remember I'm a non-smoker. Best thing I ever did.
