Hello all.
I suppose I should have started with this, but I like to be a little different.
My name's Amanda, I'm 33, took my first drag on a cigarette when I was about 13, started smoking regularly at 15 and until a week ago, I was a 2PAD smoker, easy. Sometimes more, if I was drinking or left to my own devices surfing the net for a couple hours.
About a year ago, my boyfriend and I got PVs from a local store here, as many of our friends have switched or supplemented their smoking with ecigs. We tried one, thought it might work, bought them, and immediately noticed our cigarette consumption drop dramatically. We were thrilled with the savings, then disaster struck. About two weeks after getting our PVs, we both got sick with a nasty chest cold. Whenever we tried to vape, we'd hack and cough, unable to breathe. We both reverted back to analogs, because we were able to smoke those much easier than vape. Although I'd taken to vaping right away and went from 2PAD to 3 cigs/day almost immediately, I just couldn't get back into vaping once we got over our colds, so our PVs sat on a side table for a year, gathering dust.
Fast forward to a week ago, I began looking for places to trim the fat on our expenses. The logical choice seemed to be the PV staring me in the face. I decided that it was time for me to give it another shot. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it once again came easily to me.
We went back to the vape shop Monday, at noon Friday I smoked my last analog, and have been vaping exclusively ever since. My mom even lets me vape in her house, being thrilled with anything that doesn't smell and allows me to smoke less (I've kept it secret that I quit 3 days ago).
My other half isn't interested in going back to the ecig, but I'm thrilled that I've been able to put down cigarettes, finally.
One of the things I used to always say is that I wish I'd never touched that first cigarette 20 years ago. I spent the last decade telling myself "If I could go back and do it all over again...", well, I can't go back, but I CAN make the choice to turn down that first cigarette. Today, every craving is my second chance, my chance to rewrite history and choose to turn down that first cigarette.
Thanks for reading, looking forward to getting to know you all, learning a lot, and staying off the cancer sticks.
Happy vaping!
