Thank you all for such support and encouragement. I not only took to it, but loving every minute of it. Now I have my own gear that is my style, my favorite juices, etc.. So I have been at vaping for about a month and a half now, but boy did I research. lol
Loving It!!!
At least if I vape for 20 more year, I don't have to regret it like I did with Smoking. So much happier!
My name is Star, I am 38, a single mom of four, an artist, an office manager, a HR director, and the owner of a home based business on the side. I have been a crazy smoker most of my life, smoking anywhere between 1-2 1/2 packs a day depending on the stress levels of that day. I manage everything in my world and am the go to person for hundreds of people. I will say that smoking was my only crutch for a very long time. Then I found someone as of December, who is making my life more meaningful. He is a nonsmoker but put up with my old habits for months. I wanted to quit so bad, have for well over a decade, but too many people have counted on me and well.... I loose it every singe time I tried to put them down (not to mention break apart people I care deeply for). I have tried the patch, the gum, drugs, anti depressants, anti psychotics etc... and nothing got me where I needed to be to let if go. Then a friend of mine brought up how she practically quit using vaping, and I knew if she could do it, I have a chance. With my man at my side and with the e-cigs in my hand, I have not had one smoke since 03/18/2013 2 weeks now! Every time before i would follow smokers just for a slight relief, see someone smoking and wish I was them, I wanted to quit mind you, but it was a major love hate relationship. I starting vaping 11 days, with smoking analogs. First day more analogs that vapor and as time went by more vapor than analogs. I realized that the more vapor I did, the less and less the cigarettes tasted good, or fulfilled my needs. I actually got down to 10 or less a day from the 20-50 a day I could consume (50 granted was on the worst of the years days.). Then, on 03/18/2013, I went to work with 2 cigarettes in my pack, had one on arrival, and had one at 9:30 on my break. Thought to myself that I would go pick up a pack at lunch time, but only have maybe 4 more in the whole day. Lunch time came and I didn't need them, didn't even have the want for one. I started thinking to myself, am I only smoking them now because I have them? Am I fine with just vaping. So I decided not to pick up a pack, but go back to work and see. I figured if I started going crazy, I would excuse myself and pick one up (better that than loosing it at work), but I never lost control, I never got imbalance, I never wanted another one. Granted since then I have had a few moments, those have been cured by using some strong tobacco flavors to get the smoke fix. This time, I am quit for good. 2 weeks now and counting. I don't want them anymore, nor do I like the smell, or have any envy at all to the smokers, even though that was my life since I was 19. I don't care if I am hooked on vapor or if I am not a vapor junky, as far as I am concerned, these saved my life and upgraded the quality of my life too. My boyfriend thank vapor every time I kiss him, and I thank vapor every time I do not wake him up hacking. Besides the fact that I am now the room's new air fresher. Sure beat being the bad smelling cause.
I am proud and thrilled to be a part of this blog and it provided so much help to me this past month during my newb phase!
