So, im 22, in the United States Marine Corps, and officially have been cigarette free for a month. I've been smoking Marlboro Red's consistently since ive been 12 years old! (bad I know!)
But, 16 days ago I had been blessed with the best thing in the world, and one day this angel will look up at me and call me Daddy. I PROMISED my wife, friends, family, and most importantly MYSELF that I would not smoke when I had a child. So, one month ago today, I went to this in-town vape store, and over paid terribly, for a Nemesis mech mod, and IGO-W rda. But that $120 was well worth it. The price to pay, to be able to play with my little girl and run around and not have that burden of having to "light up".
It's been a rough run, honestly the transition was not AS hard, until my daughter was actually born, and the 3 days of sleep deprivation, and added stress of a baby came in. But I never gave in, I just kept vaping and vaping until it went away. Yesterday is when it actually hit me that I will never smoke a cancer stick again. Before yesterday, everytime I had a craving, I actually had to think and tell myself, "no don't go smoke, just get the vape out and it will work", but not yesterday, as soon as I had a craving, it was like.... instinct? I picked up my mod, without thought, took a good long drag, and continued to watch TV. And it wasnt until I put it down, that I realized...WOAH I didnt even have to think about a cigarette.
Just wanted to share my little story while my 16 day old is screaming her head off while mommy warms up a bottle and then we get 2 or 3 hours of sleep(maybe)!
Hope this maybe inspires someone that is having trouble, that it IS possible to stop. Even in the most stressful job in the world (Marine Corps). And that if anyone wants support I would bend over backwards to help them out. Anytime, day or night!
Semper Fidelis,
