It seems like it was just a week ago--on July 3, 2008 at 11:56PM (trust me, I remember the time) I was doing my customary "go out on the apartment balcony and have a final cigarette before going to bed routine", and to this day I don't know what it was, but I suddenly got very mad and squashed out my smoke and said "NO MORE." I was a pack-and-a-half smoker from the age of 17 to 45; I changed brands a couple times over the years but never quit once for 28 years, not a single day. But the last couple years of smoking had really taken their toll--I couldn't make a dash for the bus in the morning, laugh at someone's jokes in the office or even lay down at night, without a loud, hacking cough. But anger at oneself isn't a cure-all for addiction, and if I hadn't found this great site (in my quest to stay smoke-free) & these wonderful e-cigs, I never could've gone an entire week, let alone one year. I never cheated & went back--not a single time. (It took me a month to finally give away the 5-6 cartons of analogs in my refrigerator though!) Anyway--I use the low-nic or zero juice now, and don't even feel the need to puff on it all the time. I can go to dinner with a couple friends, or visit family or see a movie without any craving sensations dancing around in my head. It seems kinda fitting that July 4 2008 was my first day of being a non-smoker, my OWN "Independence Day"! Anyway, just wanted to say a sincere thank you to the people of this board, the mods and members and suppliers, who helped me to kick that godawful habit.
