That’s wonderful!!
Yes Maybe I just quit too fast. I was successful 20 years ago when I cut down to ultra-light cigarettes and then stopped. It worked for me. Perhaps I will try again soon, but I need to take another break.
I felt a drain of the holy spirit when I was smoking but not when I was chewing tobacco. I wonder if there is something to the smoke. I read that any kind of smoke basically can cause cancer, even smoked meats eating regularly can cause cancer. And I recently read that they could not link an increase in cancer with chewing tobacco. I posted the studies here:Concerned about cancer...
I know the feeling!!! I always used tobacco flavored kind, and when I got to zero percent, I was tasting cigarettes and inhaling what tasted like smoke, but it took a day for me to get real used to it. The Holy Spirit had started bothering me about giving it up completely. (I live in a family of non smokers, and i wasn't a good witness) . I had other things I needed to get rid of first. We all are on different levels, and I truly believe that it was God's plan for me to decrease by vaping. He takes us as we are, and some of us need a little more molding that others
I have mental health problems too - I do think it’s harder for some people to quit than others. Smoking electronic cigarettes has released me from the revolving prison door which was playing havoc with my brain!! I have asthma too - but fortunately e cigs don’t seem to affect my breathing at all.
From what I understand, smoking an e-cigarette has very few health problems compared to properly smoking. Obviously it would be better not to smoke at all, but it’s definitely the lesser of 2 evils,
@Goldie75 So sounds like you would prefer if your daughters - if they wanted to smoke at all - used vaping - the benefits of which you have found - rather than cigarettes?
Me too with mental illness! Been hospitalized at least 3 times for major depression!! Maybe we three(Goldie--I read your post ♥) just have to do it in a different way. God has a plan for everyone, taking into account our past:
They’re all mid twenties now and none of them smoke. One dabbled for a while but we worked through it.
@Cassandra Well....sounds like without that raspy voice you'll less likely make a rock singer, then........
Sounds like you're really glad to be quit!
Thanks for the information, maybe I'll try vaping to decrease my levels like Cassandra mentioned.
@Goldie75 Sounds like you yourself only use sound quality nicotine in your vapes. And sounds like you managed to help persuade the daughter that started, not to keep doing it.
Great testimony! It gives me hope. I will need to get to a point where I can be alone for several days while I quit, and that couldn't happen this time. I started smoking again to get rid of the dizzy hallucinating spells which are terrible to have to deal with. I'll try vaping I think this next time. And reduce as you did.
I actually make my own nicotine juice - works out way cheaper and I can ensure I’m using safe ingredients.
LOL!!!Quitting bald turkey....
...If I had to mess up my words in my head, everyone else has to read it.
@devin553344 Ppl do find it helps as an alternative to cigarettes, anyway, when trying to cut down.
