This person if they are a real person still has to pretend she is smoking? How often? she didn't say.

There's always a bunch of "vapers" on Ex's facebook page trying to push their method and sell their products.

That must be the reason she came here and posted directly on my page.

I believe most "vapers" are still hooked on nicotine, can't give it up, and don't even realize they aren't choosing to use it but must use it because they are addicts

So,

Why would I want to be a non smoker like her? I don't want to pretend I'm smoking every 20 minutes.

We aren't here only to help you stop smoking. That's 1/2 of it. The other half is to get you free from nicotine so you don't go back to it.

Nicotine controls you as long as you use it. It's what you think about.

Don't you have better things to do with your time than to think about getting your next fix?

Well, you don't until you are free of it!

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
