I have been lurking for several weeks and I think it has reached the time when I should introduce myself and thank all of the members of the forum for all of the fantastic information they have provided.
Recent medical issues caused me to realize I needed to quit smoking. I knew I had a strong nicotine addition. Over the past year or so I had been smoking over two packs a day. I had been smoking for about thirty-five years. I had tried EVERYTHING available to quit. None of it worked for me.
This time I used the gum. I found that it was most effective because I could control the dosage, but it did nothing to help with the what do I do with my hands part of my habit. I was doing okay but not being completely successful. I had cut down a lot but was still smoking three to six cigarettes a day. And I was really looking forward to each of them. It was as though I was depriving myself and the cigarettes were becoming more and more precious.
When I thought about it, this wasnt working at all. Rather than finding that I thought less about smoking over time, I found that I was thinking about it even more. So I got on the internet and started searching for more information on quitting.
One of my searches brought me to a site reviewing e-cigarettes. I was intrigued. I had heard of them, but never really considered them as an alternative to cigarettes. I spent hours and hours over the next several days trying to learn more. Eventually I found this forum.
I kept reading and visiting vendor sites. I was learning so much. I found The Wonderful World of vaping: An Illustrated Guide to E-cigs in the New Members Forum. I decided to order a starter kit and see what all the fuss was about.
As I waited for my kit to arrive, I kept reading this forum. I was still learning and the information was fantastic. I was starting to think this might actually work.
The day the kit arrived I took it and went and hid in my bedroom. I opened the package and gently took out all of the parts. I read the instructions and plugged the first battery in to charge. As I waited I familiarized myself with all the parts.
The light was green. I put the cartridge on the atomizer and attached the assembly to the charged battery. I put the contraption to my mouth and took a long, slow drag. I was amazed. I took a couple more. It was fantastic. I havent touched a cigarette in three weeks.
My name is Missy and I have quit!!!
