Hey Lady! I feel the same way. I also felt that way very quickly. I had been lurking for close to a year before joining. I was really wanting to try the e-cig, but had a defeatist attitude... I had already heard some of the governmental grumbling and thought, why bother, if they are just going to take it away from me? Finally just said, "Screw it!" and took the plunge.
A very interesting menagerie here at ECF! I don't post a lot, but that doesn't seem to matter. When I do, people are always helpful. The atmosphere is definitely one of family. I am always learning something new, whether it be about e-cigs, or just about any other topic. Some very smart people here. And those with quick wit keep me in stitches. This place has definitely helped with my transition into e-cigs. I vape and read and read and vape... all the while, knowing that everyone else is doing the same... it's comforting somehow! lol
ECF is like a huge wake for an old friend we had come to hate! It makes it that much easier to say good-bye.
Great post Lady, very real and heart-felt!
