Almost a month in.....

.....and I mowed the lawn today! I. Mowed. The. Lawn.!!! I feel so much better since I gave up the cigs and started vaping. I have energy, and I want to do things. I drove to two different locations today, I was by myself, had no idea how to get to my desired locations, but I was happy and calm in the traffic and pedestrians. I wasn't panicking, or stressing. Just moved as I could, got lost (twice) and found my way. My attitude is so much better since I am vaping. I can't tell you the last time I mowed the lawn....or had the energy to do something like drive to unknown locations by myself. vaping has truly changed my life for the better! I pray that a newbie somewhere will read this and know, that they CAN get off of the cigs, I did after 33 years. I have my 16th wedding anniversary coming up this week, maybe I'll ask hubby to take me dancing! Life, it's good!!!

I can't stand idle in knowing that you live without a smart phone. You could have gotten lost. Then if you asked people for directions they may have gotten confused by the question. Directions for bi-mart? Do you mean directions to create a successful business? Like, the question wouldn't make sense. Do you need directions on how to Google? What if you got into an argument and was falsely concluded to be wrong? You could live the rest of your life believing something incorrect that could have been googled. You could have lost an argument!

Life is good without cigs!

Thank you everyone! I did have my phone with me, I had directions from Google, but...yeah, I'm directions "challenged". Alas, my hubby was just a phone call away, and he works for the department of transportation, so he would have been able to get me out of almost anywhere because he knows the roads so well. It was such a feeling of being relaxed and not going into sheer panic. The sheer confidence in myself to figure it out. It was like a window had opened. I could do it!! I have heard that giving up cigarettes is harder than giving up illegal drugs. I have no idea what giving up illegal drugs would be like, having never used but the confidence I have developed because I quit the cigs, is indescribable!

Now you are some one I can relate to. I live just outside of boston where the streets have no names. Either that or they all have the same name.

As for mowing the lawn, Awesome! I have to carry my groceries quite a trip fromthe car to home. I used to dread it, but now I can tell that I can recover much more quickly from a stair climb with 2 hands full of the bags. Good for you!

Great! Vaping has changed so many lives, in a positive way, that it makes my head want to explode that there are people out there who are trying to stamp it out, if you'll excuse a lame pun. I can't even wrap my head around it.
