From 3 packs a day, and a lot more weight than I carry now to the following.....and for those who say they have too much stress in their life to quit smoking, try THIS crap on for size!

I've had a rotten 2yrs. My husband of 26.5yrs was killed in a trucking accident in Tampa in July of 2008. Every member of his family, save for ONE sister, has not talked to me since his death. So much for 26yrs of happiness, I guess I didn't count to them. And yes, now I figure it's THEIR loss!

My oldest son was medically discharged from the Army in Sept 08 and of course has been unable to find work since. His new wife is due with their first child in 3 weeks. They live with her parents and it's hell and there is nothing I can do for them seeing as I am 1,000 miles away.

My youngest son divorced and got full custody of his 18 month old daughter 2 days before he had to deploy and spend a year in Iraq while I raised his daughter. He had to fully support me until the life insurance paid since my hubby and I owned the 18wheeler business and I had to sell the truck after his death. No truck, no business, no income. Broke. And do you think I could get food stamps?....hahahahaha

THEN, the life insurance came in, I got my first ecig, I spent a few months "playing" with it. I also lost 80lbs and decided I needed a tummy tuck, but my surgeon said NO if I smoked analogs, but the ecig was ok. REALITY check please!

So, I did it. Made the final burn out, vape only now, and can get into size 12 jeans that I haven't been able to buy in 30yrs.

Oh, and check my banner below. I bought a Wii and Wii Fit with some of the savings so I can keep my new figure and I can actually do an hour and still breath like a human being!

LIFE IS GOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!! AND MY ECIG IS A BIG PART OF IT ALL!!!!!

Very interesting story and glad that things are finally working out for yourself. Can only hope for the best for the rest of your family!

In addition, I'm actually pretty impressed that you've come back to and stayed with your PV instead of sticking with the "easy way" of smoking analogs day after day. Yours is quite a success story in many ways and should provide a good incentive to many others who think that life may have given up on them.

Kudos to you and of course, please thank your sons for their service to our country!

OMG amazing story. My condolences about the loss of your husband. As for the stop smoking and losing weight - you go girl! Congrats! Seriously...it is stories like these to continue to prove that these devices are a miracle and that they really do work. Again congrats! You're a strong woman and it sounds like a great mom. :thumbs:
