New year..new life

[ShedEnd70]

Hi all, hope 2016 will be as good for you as I hope it'll be for me.
At age 61 and 50 years of smoking, having tried pretty much everything to quit, I've finally succeeded! Played around with vaping but didn't really get it until 131 days ago I discovered (for me) the Holy Grail.. Sub Ohming! Did a lot of research &I made a monetary investment to get away from the Evod style of vape kit & can't believe the difference! No choking to death on every pull &I not thought about cigarettes once. I can breathe again, don't cough up all kinds of nastiness, and my lovely wife isn't worried I'll be leaving her any time soon. Only wish I'd found vaping 20 years ago.
Anyways, just wanted to say Hi and wish you all a very happy new year

Welcome, Happy New Year, And Congrats. You can do this.

 

[ShedEnd70]

Thank you wood hippy, I'm sure I will this time! Every attempt I've made in the past (so many!) has been doomed because I've always wanted to have a smoke, not this time my friend, don't even think of it. Thanks again

A big Grats! @ShedEnd70 and happy new year

 

[ShedEnd70]

Thank you Dextrose & yes, I AM counting! 131 days, avoided 3,930 cigarettes at least! Not sure what they would cost, they ain't cheap over here ha!ha!

Way to go! That's terrific!

I'm a couple years older, and Jan. 14th will be my 2 year anniversary since my last smoke because of vaping. You'll be there, too, sooner than you think. Time will seem to fly by with no more smokes!

It IS a personal triumph isn't it, when you've finally won over the temptation that tobacco presents?

 

[ShedEnd70]

Thank you JCinFLA, well done to you too! 2yrs is no small achievement!
Its a great feeling to not be ruled completely by a pack of garbage.
Each day without smoking is solid gold to my way of thinking, never thought I'd ever say that. Looking forward to the next 131 days haha!

Welcome and congrats!!!

I too was 61 when I quit after smoking for 50 years. My holy grail was different but what ever works, works. Glad you found what works.

 

[ShedEnd70]

Thanks Rickb119,

Congrats to you too, glad I've quit, glad Google directed me to this forum.

It's real nice to find a group of people that know exactly what I've gone through in
the past & know the kind of future I can look forward to.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments

Welcome @ShedEnd70!!!! Cutting loose of cigarettes is one of the best things I've done in my life.... You've found an amazing home here - lots of friendly folks and a wealth of information.

Congratulations and CHEERS!!!
