I just looked up my usage on my machine and i have logged 14,171 hours. It took me a couple of weeks to get adjusted to using my cpap. Now I don't want to sleep without it.
Please take the POLL and we'll see if we can find some folks around here to win distinct honor of being on CPAP for a VERY long period of time!
For this poll, please select the number of years that comes closest to the actual time you've been on CPAP.
If there have been substantial periods of time when you did not use your CPAP machine, please subtract those years or months from your total number of years.
Okay, I'll go first...
I've been on CPAP since 2004, so I currently have about 15 years of non-stop CPAP use under my belt. I've never had even one night where I wasn't connected to my machine.

RE: How LONG have you been on CPAP?
I've been on CPAP since November 2011. That's almost 8 years!
Without it I wonder where I would have ended up after 8 years. Probably in an institution.

RE: How LONG have you been on CPAP?
24 years of continuous use! I have never slept a night without the CPAP since my first one was issued to me in the winter of 1995.
