Tam Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Two years ago on May 10th I picked up my first e-cig after seeing a co-worker with one and asking a ton of questions. Went to my local B&M and got an eGo-C upgrade pass through with a CE4 tank and a bottle of 24 mg orange cream and two other flavors I don't even remember now. Still continued to smoke while I got used to the set up. Five days later on May 15th I put down the cigarettes and went to vaping full time. There were six unopened packs of smokes in my fridge that I kept for a year just in case before I finally got rid of all but one. That one is still there to remind me that I don't want them anymore. Since then I've tried smoking a few times because I couldn't believe I wouldn't go back -- just to find them foul tasting. I'd have to go brush my teeth (several times) and take a shower to get the smell of smoke off of me. My health has gotten better with vaping. I feel so much better. And I'm much happier because I finally got off the cigarettes that had me hooked for the better part of 38 years. About six months in I found this wonderful forum that helped me spend even more money. In turn I've helped others spend even more. All joking aside I've found some very special people here I'm proud to call friends. They've supported me, answered my questions, made me laugh even when I didn't want to. It's been a great ride so far. Thank you all for sharing it with me.

Tam Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Aaawwww, you guys are gonna make me cry! Thanks for all the kind words, it's been fun spending your money. Wow. I can't believe it's been TWO WHOLE YEARS!!! The longest I ever got off the analogs before e-cigs was around six months -- and you really didn't want to be anywhere near me during that time. *giggles* I was a major witch. <-- I think I misspelled that. Troy? Please tell Karen I plan to collect on the hugs in person on the 24th. She is coming, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
