So this morning was officially 24 hours without a smoke. Not one drag, and that feels *insert profane exclamation here* fantastic! I am 23 and I have been smoking more then half a pack of cigarettes a day for more then 10 years. I don't even eat, sleep, or shower that consistently.
I have seriously tried to quite on any number of occasions, but have only managed to break 24 hours twice before, on both occasions it was the hardest thing I have ever done, and on both occasions I failed to stay smoke free.
I have been vaping for probably two weeks now, and had failed to break away from smokes completely due to user error (failure to rotate batteries properly or plan on how much juice / how many carts I would need while out and about). Yesterday I finally got into the rotation and I went the day without a cigarette.
I woke up this morning (my 24 hour mark), made my coffee and sat down to my 510 and fired up my comp. I didn't even have a thought for a cigarette until I opened up these forums and was reading about someone else's trouble making the switch completely.
Realizing that I had broken the 24 hour mark, which has always been the hardest thing for me (my inability to stay quit was due to foolishness, not uncontrollable cravings), without even thinking about it was like getting a poleaxe of bliss right in the face.
They say that if nothing changes, then nothing changes. I never wanted to stop smoking, I just wanted to stop killing myself while enjoying my most pleasurable (G rated) vice. I just thought I would share this so that anyone who is struggling with making the switch could see it. Its not a perfect science, and you will have to find your own flow in it, but if your set on changing what your doing, you need to look at what these ingenious little devices have to offer.
