March 10th 2011 was the day I had my last cigarette.
It was about 10 days after recieving my first ecigarette order. I had no idea what I was doing at the time, and had ordered 4mg strength cartridges (lol). Still, I could tell from my first puff that this was THE solution. That first week with the ecig I only smoked 10 cigarettes and they kept tasting more and more NASTY. I ordered carts with a higher mg and the day they arrived I finished the last of the pack I had from the week before and bid cigarettes a bewildered farewell.
Bewildered because before this point I had given up on being able to Quit. I really had resigned myself to being a lifelong smoker...and I found myself not enjoying them and actually despising the taste and sensation.
I'll admit...I'm a lazy vaper. I have stayed with the same supplier since the beginning because it is EASY. No hassle, no fuss. That isn't to say I didn't spend a fair amount of money finding the right vape for my tastes. I have a tackle box full of carts and juices that are barely used. I played with the idea of doing a mod and decided it wasn't right for me so it isn't as bad as it *could* have been financially. For the past 6 months I have been using the same juice with a normal cart and a pass through via my laptop/car. I haven't bothered to reduce nic levels below 18mg because that hasn't been my goal thus far. NOT SMOKING has been my goal. Now that I am at a year smoke free, I might think about reducing nic but it isn't a pressing issue. I feel great, I'm smoke free and that's a win whichever way I look at it.
If you are reading this and you are unsure about whether or not an ecig is right for you, I implore you to at least try it. With my whole heart I think they are one of the most important inventions of our time. You may think that it is just another gimmick...that maybe you are just too emotionally involved with smoking or too messed up for them to work for you. Well, I thought so too. Take that little bit of hopefullness you have inside of you and try it with an open mind. I am unsure of current statistics but from the last ones I read, you have a VERY good chance of being just like me a year from now.
God bless and good luck!
