Hi everybody! My name is Ron and I have been smoking for about 23 years now. I have poking around this website for about 3 weeks now and I decided to take the plunge and join up.
I actually made the decision to quit smoking 7 weeks ago after having talked about doing it for many months, far too long. My wife and sister decided to join the cause and quit smoking too. We have been so ready to be smoke free.
We made our quit date for May 1st. I surrounded myself with nicorrette gum and a Electronic Cigarette. The gum is alright and works most times just as long as you use it in the correct way. I've tried it before and I didnt like it.
I got myself an Electronic cigarette from Njoy. It works great, just like a real cig. If you have not tried one of these, then I would highly reccomend you getting one. It really does act like a real cig. It uses water and liquid nicotine to create a mist/ vapor that simulates smoke. It does give you the sensation like a tobacco cig just without all the harmful junk that is in a tobacco filled cig.
I use a combination of both to help me get off cigs. They help me, but they do not replace the support that you get from this website. I found that when you are quitting and you end up talking about it all the time, other people just dont want to listen.
My wife and sister are quitting too and they say i talk too much about it. Therefore, no one wants to be around a guy talking about quitting smoking when they are quitting too. I can understand that. I just dont know what else to do. It bothers be a great deal knowing that cigarettes have had such an addicting grip on my thoughts and prevented me from thinking clearly. I became a slave to tobacco-filled cigarettes.
"I do not want to be a slave to cigarettes any longer!"
So I am here, a part of this community of ex and soon-to-be Ex smokers to help me quit and stay quit. Thank you and I look forward to continuing to fight this madness of quitting cigarettes. God bless and God speed to all!
-Ron
