40 year struggling to quit smoker, no longer struggling

I do not struggle with staying off tobacco as much as I did without the help of vaping. For four decades I struggled to stop smoking permanently, but inevitably would relapse. I even stopped for over 5 years once, and STILL I relapsed. I have lost count of how many sincere and determined attempts I have made in my life to quit tobacco, all without long term success. Until I began vaping. It’s been 2 years now without a cig, and I feel very strong. I’m not even using nicotine, and I only vape when I have an intense craving for tobacco, such as after meals, in some social situations etc. I was never able to decide when I smoked with tobacco. I was never the one in control when I used tobacco, but with vaping, I am the one in control. I decide how much I vape, when I vape, and where. It’s not complete freedom (such as being a non smoker) but my quality of life has improved so immensely, it’s indescribable. Now, when I have a craving for tobacco I don’t find myself resisting the urge to run to the corner store and smoke up an entire pack in one night to make up for lost time. I stop, and think, hey, I have my handy vaporizer! I will use that instead. Is it the perfect solution? No, probably not. Is it a hell of a lot better than stopping and starting tobacco time and time again, feeling like crap about it physically and mentally, and also feeling powerless and regretful all the time? Hell, YES! Thanks to nic free vaping I’ve recovered so much of my self control and self esteem. If you’re a tobacco addict, try it. You won’t be sorry.
