I am at the eve of my one month analog free!!!!!!

A lot has changed in that one month time. Breathing comes easier (go figure one had to relearn to do something that was natural at birth.) There is no more coughing, no more weezing. It is a great feeling. Last Thursday I had my appointment with my cardiologist. You see, I had a heart attack on Nov 9, 2009. I proceeded to have a few tests and the ever so lovely stress test. You know the one I am speaking of. Where they make you a human gerbil run on the treadmill until you feel the heart you are trying to improve feels like it is going to explode out your chest! Well raving reviews from the Doctor. Heart muscles healthy! Circulation good! I even told her about the PV. She was ecstatic about it. Even said she has talked to a few of her patients to move over to that vs analogs. So that was a very good feeling there not only knowing I am now not having to take any more medications but to know my own cardiologist is behind vaping.

Though this experience I have met many people. I would honestly say 99.999998 of them were helpful and more so a great support structure for me to continue with the vaping vs the analog kill stick.

Now I face a new problem. I am finding I am addicted now to learning more about this world. The liquids, the mods, the different style PVs. So thank you and Damn you all :) for being so supportive and helpful with the information. Now it takes up my free time reading and learning and talking about vaping and DIY liquids :)

But I just wanted to say thank you to you all in this forum giving support not just to myself, but to all those that are new to the PV world and you making them feel accepted and comfortable enough to ask the newbie questions. For those that don't know it. The ECF Chat on IRC is a GREAT place with some wonderful people that are there to help in many ways. Even if its just to get your mind off the analogs, they are good for a humor break too :) If you haven't tried it. Do so. You will not be disappointed.

Congrats on the milestone Orion! Yes the vaping experience becomes almost an obsession at times as we learn more and more. Luckily I've heard that the obsessive behavior tends to wear off after awhile in at least 2-3% of the population... (Just kidding of course, but I bet some folks never get over the "gotta have the latest mod and flavor" urge.)

I switched from analogs to the gum. I went successfully on just the gum for 8 months. Just recently I bought a pack of hand roll cigs, a brand I used to like too, and they were awful. I hated the experience, and threw them out. I'm hoping the e-cig will fill the gap and prevent me from attempting to reach to an analog again. I miss some of the activity of smoking, hopefully this will fill that. Otherwise, the gum is great, handles the cravings.

Congrats on the 1 month anniversary! I can hardly imagine how happy I will be when I hit one month. (I just ordered my first kit today, so the hard part is still ahead) But you have made it through what I am sure is the roughest part! Keep it up!

If I can do it, anyone can! Just need as they say "work through the pain". Won't lie, the first cravings are the worst but they do get better. Now only a month into it I already smell smoke on others I never did before, and attempt to usually stand upwind from them :)

Good luck!
