Finally [Mrs. Sarge]

[sgt.barney]

After 3+ years, Mrs. Sarge is giving it another go and this morning she begins Day 6 without a cigarette. No "attempt" in the last 3 years was more than an hour or 3 of "I'll just see how long I can go", and the previous serious attempt of 17 Nov 2011, when The Sarges "quit together" (riiiiiight) when she didn't even make it 24 hours.

 

She is, however, sucking fast and furiously on a Marlboro-branded e-cig / vape sham on a continual basis ... but we'll take what we can get for now.

 

For now.

 

The Sarge strongly suspects a simple trade of one addiction for another will be the net result, but ... baby steps, right?

 

 

 

Easy Peasy

That's great news sarge ... baby steps in the right direction.

[MarylandQuitter]

That's great news!!!!

[Fay]

Fantastic news!  One step at a time!

[Chrysalis]

Well, good for her! There is nothing wrong with using e-cigs to help you quit. Give her a hug from me.

[Jenny]

This is wonderful news!  I can only imagine how pleased you must be plus she must want to quit if she keeps having a go at it.  Happy for the Sarges this morning!  

[Nancy]

Oh, I hope she will quit all together!  I know you would both be so happy and proud!!

[Nicole Diver]

Awesome!!  I am happy for you guys.  My hb quit using the e-cig, but only did it for a week because they were so expensive. 

[El Bandito]

Heading the right way Sarge!

 

Great news. Cheering Mr S on from here!

[Frezflops]

That is awesome.....My mother-in-law quit using the e-cig with no set plan after about a month or so she just decided to put the e-cig down for good and be done.

[Dentalfloss]

That's awesome! She is one step closer now!

[jimmy]

 little by little you win the race 

[Pippa]

So happy to read this - even baby steps are steps in the right direction:-)

[ChRiSpY]

Different Strokes for different folks.

 

Congrats.

[ArmedNAruba]

Great! Now we just gotta get you weaned off the deep fried pizza rolls.

[babs609]

I sucked on an ecig before I quit and for me it was just trading one addiction for another. However....I believe it was a stepping stone to my sticky quit.

She's getting tired of smoking. :) so this is good news.

[SueBeDoo]

Good to hear she's on the right track, well done Mrs Sarge x

[sharonsiff]

This is great news! I imagine, from reading your OP, that her going days smoke free is a big thing, huge in fact. She must be over the moon.

 

Even if she is in fact just trading one type of addiction for another Sarge she is currently cig free. Opens the door for her to see for herself, in a calmly fashion, that she in turn can be free of it all. I haven't used the cig a like types myself but do know, from experience, that the PV type ones are pretty straight forward in executing an total escape. Obviously if that turns out to be her plan.

[sgt.barney]

Mrs. Sarge has been off the e-cig for a full week now.

 

Sarge's suspicion was wrong. Looks like she's one of us now.

 

 

 

 

Easy Peasy

 

 

 

* She did just buy 8 10-packs of gum, though. 400 pieces of gum over 400 smokes - We'll take it.

[Fay]

Fantastic news! 

[Nicole Diver]

Right on!

I have thought of Mrs. Sarge sometimes when I struggled to find my running rhythm. Like, if she can run to TX and back and still smoke why the heck can't I just go 15 more minutes.

How is she doing? Easy peasy or cursing the gods?
