This is not going to be my normal last post of the day.
First Thanks to Everyone who sent good Vibes and Prayers! Wifey is doing a little better, her first liter bag of fluids is already done and the second will be done by morning, hopefully this will keep her out of the hospital.
A lot of you have heard this story before but for the newer Tree Family Members who may still be struggling I will tell it again because if I can do it anyone has the capability to do it.
I started this journey in to vaping January of 2011. My son wanted to quit smoking and he thought a ecig would help him do it. I smoked a pack and a half to 2 packs of Winstons a day for almost 35 years and had no desire to quit, I enjoyed smoking. We went to a shop of a poker buddy of my older sons that made eliquid and also had some small kits. The only reason I bought one was he made us a deal on two Dse901 cig-a-like kits and I figured if I could keep from going outside in the freezing cold and by getting a little nic into me why not.
I found this forum in February and joined. I soon upgraded to the state of the art Ego battery. Then I found a VV box mod that had a plastic case and a carto tank. I began smoking less and vaping more.
By around July of that year I was down to 2 cigarettes a day, one in the morning when I let the dogs out and one on my way home from work. One morning I just picked up my box mod and not a cigarette. Not smoking lasted until September when I went to do a grand opening in Chicago for the company I worked for where I started smoking a couple cigs a day. That lasted till sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas when I smoked my last cigarette. I don't know what day I had my last cigarette, all that I know is it was somewhere between those dates.
I never intended on quitting smoking it just kinda happened 4 years ago sometime soon.
I did stay on a very high nicotine level, 30mg, for a long time and only in the last year I have been able to cut it way back back to the 8mg I use now.
For those of you that still smoke just remember it's not the cigarettes you smoke that count, it's the ones you don't smoke that do count.
That was one of the longest posts most of you have seen me make! So with that said.............................
