• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I used those electronic cigarettes and before that the lozenges with nicotine in them. That helped to get me off of the regular cigarettes but then I had to get off of the lozenges, too. I had to quit the electronic cigarettes, too. I was very sick from smoking so that was a good part of my motivation. I had chronic bronchitis for about 6 mos. I couldn't stand coughing constantly any more. I have been off of the cigarettes for 6 mos. now. I think of them but don't have strong cravings any more. I can just tell myself I don't want to go back to coughing so much any more and don't want to get COPD and then cancer and then die. I hope this helps. Best wishes to you for quitting.
