A good friend of mine has been smoking for 15 years and when we spoke recently, she asked how I liked my e-cigarette. Needless to say, I unloaded on her about the VK and Steve.
Kristen ordered her VK last week, got it on Monday and opened the box and started vaping on Tuesday.
I called her today for a follow up and she told me the following story, She's not a forum goer, so she will not be telling the story here herself, but someone has to:
Unbeknownst to me, Kristen's Grandmother died last week and she had to go to the wake and funeral this week. At the wake on Wednesday afternoon, it was obviously a somber occasion and her dad looked at her and said "let's go get $#!+faced", "hell yeah" she replied. They went to a local bar that they've been going to for years and everyone from the wake went with them. Now, apparently, Ohio (or wherever they are) hasn't gone the "no-smoking-anywhere-you-can-have-fun" route yet, so everyone in the bar was smoking. Kristen, on DAY 2 of her vaping, didn't have, nor want, a single puff of an analog.
She's reluctant to congratulate herself on this big win in her non-smoking, saying that she only quit 3 days ago and although it's going well, she's concerned that something is going to screw it up.
As I said, this is a huge win over her circumstances, as there are several things that cause people who have quit smoking to slip:
1.) Stress (including loss of a loved one)
2.) Social smoking (being around others who are smoking)
3.) Drinking
She not only conquered all 3, at the same time, but on day 2 of her vaping. I'm incredibly proud of her, and I hope that her story will help anyone on the fence who is reading this.
Thanks, Steve.
