I survived!

[RedhddOne]

One of my biggest "triggers" of smoking was driving... and long distances were the worst.

My boyfriend lives 900 miles away from me... that's 15 hours by car. I would smoke 1 1/2 packs in that trip, get out of the car, smell like an ash tray, taste like an ash tray... and then hope my non-smoking boyfriend would want to give me a big kiss and a hug when I arrived.

I made that trip this weekend. 15 hours by car!!! And I DIDN'T have ONE CIGARETTE!!!

I had my Ego-T along for the ride, a couple of tanks filled with my 2 favorite FSUSA juices (Doublemint Gum & Candy Cane) that were ready for a "switcheroo". Both batteries were freshly charged so I knew that those two bad boys would get me there no problem.

I was so happy when I got there, didn't have to immediately jump in the shower before getting my hug and kiss.

Even though he's worried that if I stop vaping I'll start smoking more than I did prior.... he was happy I didn't stink the whole weekend.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Just wanted to share my overall joy!!

Now back to your regular scheduled discussion on juices, T's cows, Ab's size issues, and whatever other fun we have around here.

AWESOME! Really it is. Very proud of you Red. That is one heck of a loooong drive. Driving was a 'trigger' for me too. You got thru the hard part, yahooo!!!!!!!

 

[TexasT]

Redheads need hugs! And lots of them.

 

[tgcrna]

Here are hugs from me ((((()))))). AND
Way to go Red!

 

[Misha707]

Yay!!! Doesn't it feel great? I'm proud of you, and you probably smelled minty fresh! Enjoy.

 

[Redneck500]

Con grads sweetheart! You won't even need cigarettes ever again now that you got your juice! I quit smoking for 2 years, no ecigs or anything and the whole time I was horribly miserable...Its not till I got ecigs that i was able to not smoke AND get my nicotine. I am very pleased. Let me know if I can do anything Im always here to help a member.

Congrats Red....I would agree that driving and smoking was a hard thing to give up....and 15 hours in a car can be stressful for sure. Keep it up girlie

 

[Rosco]

Congrats to you. That is an excellent test for you and you came out a WINNER. In fact, everyone in Pontiac is applauding you now. Can't ya hear them???

 

[loden813]

Way to go Red!! Road trips WERE always the worst, but not any more!

 

[RedhddOne]

Awww thanks everyone. I wasn't looking for congratulations or nothing like that. If anyone should be congratulated it should be all of you and this website.... for without all of you... that trip with no smoking would not of been possible.

So run around and pat yourselves on the back.

Congrats anyway. I have a 3 hr round trip to work and I vape the whole way.(Should have seen me when I smoked analogs-I could roll down the window and choke the people in the car next to me). When the ego passthroughs came out I grabbed a few and now never have to worry about charging my batts. I plug them into the cigarette lighter using an usb car charger, vape all the way to work and when I get to work they are totally charged so I unplug them and am good to go.
No more worries about are my batts charged. Amazing how ecigs are the best thing since sliced bread, imo. They along with this forum, the people on this forum, and Davids juices has literally saved my life. Thanks all.

*\0/* Congratulations *\0/* "Red". You deserve a medal driving 15-hrs! And another one for vaping the whole way, too ;-)

 

[Shinypaladin]

Rock on! Awsome job Red.

 

[Free2BMe]

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on....

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive


Who would ever thought that song could easily refer to those yucky ole' analogs? LOL

[SPaZ]

Congrats Red! You have me beat, I still can't give up my Marlboro's and American Spirits. Been vaping for a year now, I did make it down from 2-3 packs daily to less than one at least. Driving is the roughest. Once again, congrats!
