3 months!

[stols001]

I just realized, I missed my three month anniversary but yay, it happened! I vaped through needing the Heimlich, (for reals) a recluse spider bit, adjusting all my meds, readjusting all my meds (tobacco metabolism pathways are a bit different than nicotine pathways, it's been a bit of a PITA, but I'm getting there) oral surgeries while awake then on advil, oh, the list goes on, LOL.

You could NOT have convinced me that this would be possible in the slightest prior to it actually happening! I'm pretty much celebrating by continuing to vape and letting my bank account balance recalibrate, heh. So it's an easy going anniversary, but looking back I just feel incredibly lucky and gifted to have gotten this far, with not only ease (no grace though, LOL) but actually ENJOYING myself, learning new things, and meeting virtual AWESOME vapers. So, I'm quite happy to be sitting here, recalling what life was like with cigs (horrible, and I don't EVER want to forget it! I actively try to remember)

vape life is SO much better! Thank you ECF so much and to all you wonderful members who helped me along the way, you guys are the best!

Well done it just gets easier the longer you vape. At times you may get the odd day or two when you want to smoke but it will pass. Three months is great. Vape on.

Fantastic!

Oh, I most certainly do get the odd craving!

But, I'm actively *afraid* of cigs now, after going through the transition to vaping, I don't want a wheel to fall off, every quit is different and I don't EVER want to have to go through trying to get back on the vaping horse, if I even *could* make myself do it, which is NOT a given....

This is actually a good sign, once I get afraid of my addictive substances that's like, some righteous thinking, as far as quitting.

I certainly wasn't afraid to START smoking, but I knew everything back then, including a firm conviction (I started on a visit to England) that I would have NO trouble stopping when I got home... Exactly 25 years later, I finally tried vaping *alone* after almost every other quit method, so I have a healthy respect for tobacco now, it beats me *every time* you cannot win with an addictive substance like that. Not if you are me...

Congratulations on your vaping milestone. I stopped smoking and started vaping Sept 9th 2011. I actually started vaping August 30th but did not completely drop the smokes until Sept. 9th. Every now and then I still think about having a cigarette but it passes. The best deterrent is to get next to a group of smokers, the smell turns off my cravings real quick.
