I am coming up on my 2 year anniversary!! December 17th. Wow, I never thought I could stop smoking, so if you think you can't you CAN. It's hard but it is worth the agony that eventually goes away!!

Just over 3 and half years and so worth it. I'd be carrying portable oxygen by now if I hadn't. You can, you can, you can! |

Four years here; I get cranky with the folks smoking on the sidewalks now! I truly am happy to be a non-smoker, and I have no desire to smoke anymore.

Still smoke free! Almost 19 months now. Even smelling it on others makes me a bit nauseous now. No craving at all.
Happy Thanksgiving. |

Stepping into the world of quitting my nasty smoking habit.
Hey ya'll. I"m in need of quitting smoking and support. Have any of you tried using the vapor cig. to quit, I mean the one that doesn't have nicotine in it. The smallest dose of nicotine I can get is 6% which is slightly close to the ultra lights I smoke. I bought the vapor cig yesterday with the 0 nicotine fluid to use for that hand to mouth habit. I am hoping this will work for me to help me quit. I've tried using chantix rx but that med makes me so depressed I can't get out of the black hole it puts me in and I'm already taking antidepressants so that's not an option to help.
I want to quit, I have asthma that is affected by the cold and heat, and I am required to smoke outdoors where I live. It's freaking colder than a well diggers ass out there and I"m tired of coughing my damn head off anymore. I'm not sure if I am doing this right, but I'm giving it the good old try adn putting it in my mind that I need to quit and must quit. I could save several hundred dollars and put that stuff to use elsewhere in a months time. I don't smoke indoors, so my my things don"t smell like smoke nor does my apt. YAY for that much !! Anywho, help a butch out with any tips you may have and root root root for me to help me quit. Thanks and I appreciate y'all in advance.

When I logged on and saw this thread pop up on the screen it reminded me that today marks 3 years since I last smoked a cigarette. Quitting that habit is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.
I have faith in those of you who are trying to quit, just don't give up on yourself! Congrats to those who have quit! - Jesse

I'm one of those folks who quit via vaping. I started vaping December 22nd 2012 and I've had 6 cigarettes since then (all in Jan/Feb while going through some tough personal times). Most of my liquids are 0 or 6mg. I started at 12mg and still have one "just in case" bottle of 12mg. So far, this has been the only thing that works at keeping the craving at bay. In the past I've tried cold turkey, patches, nicorette, Zyban, Chantix. I may have stopped smoking but the craving never really left and would eventually get the best of me. For me vaping satisfies about 90% of the craving, I can handle the rest. This is the most comfortable I've been about not smoking. I haven't had any ill effects and don't foresee them. I hope vaping helps you. There's a (not active) thread about vaping here http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...ead.php?t=6228. It's got a lot of good info. I've gotten some flack about 'substituting' but I'm okay with substituting burning, toxic material know to cause cancer with vaporized 'generally known to be safe' material used in food products and asthma inhalers.

I started a cold turkey quit on 29th December 2013.
Day 9 almost completed. This time I have the help of a sponsor and he's making all the difference. I'm doing it this time. |

Day 11 and I'm still going strong.
Today is not easy. In fact I feel a little bit nuts. I'm going out for a run in a minute to burn up adrenalin and try and feel a bit calmer. Well done to everyone in the process of quitting and trying to get to a more comfortable place. We can totally do it. |
