Hi Everyone! Today I am 6 MONTHS CIGARETTE FREEE!!! Yea!! Vape On!!

[JulieMB]

I just feel soooo good today to be able to actually be 6 months free of smoking!!! Yea!! Cue up Pharrell Williams and do the "Happy" dance with me!! Yeah!!

I got introduced to vaping Christmas day by my 22 year old nephew- and I instantly just knew i could do it. vaping was going to be my ticket out! I couldn't wait until the next day when the B&M vape shop he told me about opened and i could go over and get my Ego Twist starter kit... I had 4 cigs to deal with but decided not to- and I haven't looked back since!! I'm talking no cigs people!! Yeah!!

I love love love this site!! You see I have to get better about posting, but I am a primo lurker (read read read!)... I have learned so much from everyone and am so grateful to have found vaping and been able to put down a 35 year smoking habit. ....Happy...!

Oh- also- i had 6 packs of cigs left in a carton on 12/26/13 and just kinda procrastinated about what to do with them,....sell them on Craigslist for cheap? nah- too much like selling drugs....Give them to a smoker i know?nah- I have given 3 people i know that smoke vape starter kits- I can't give cancersticks... THROW THEM AWAY? Well i have been saying that WHEN i reach a milestone I will ceremoniously ditch them. TODAY IS THE DAY!!! In the trash they go!!! .....Happy...!!

Yay!!!! That's the way, Julie! You got it! Good for you! Congratulations! 6 mos. is a biggie and you should be happy! Had that very same quandary about what to do with the smokes. Am waiting for my l yr, then tossing a few in the fire pit to offer up my thanks. Do a little happy dance, shake my rattles and sing my tunes of thanksgiving. The rest of the two cartons will go into the trash. It feels so wonderful!

What a great accomplishment! Giving up a 35 year habit is fantastic. I was 34 years in when I laid them down 3 years ago. You should be very proud of yourself!

Hi Julie and Congratulations!!! Awesome accomplishment

 

[JulieMB]

Thanks everyone for the well wishes! I chucked those cigs in the outside bin a couple of hours ago and hey- good riddance! lol! I have thrown away so much money on cigarettes over the years- but this time the toss felt real good! Besides- that just frees up more cabinet space to steep ejuice!! Oh yeah! ...Happy...

Nice, I hit 6 months smoke free after 40 years on the 28th. I know how good it feels!

The best part about quitting (well aside from your health of course ;P ) is that food starts to taste soooooo much better again! I think this is one of the reasons people say they gain so much weight after quitting ( I know it's really not but it's still funny ) I can taste subtle flavors again and since my nose isn't all smoked up the aromas all mingle with the tastes and food has once again become exciting! Congratulations! Amazing job on quitting!

Congrats Julie! May there be many more months to come for you!
