The Force is Still With Me

[JudeD]

Today is my two year anniversary. No cigs since May the Fourth be with you, 2012. What started as a "Hey, this is something I can use when I'm not allowed to smoke" experiment quickly turned into, "Who needs to smoke when I can do this much more enjoyable thing?" I've done a lot in the last two years like lose family members, move to a new home after 25 years, and plan two daughters' weddings, but the one thing I haven't done is light up a cigarette. I haven't even been tempted.

I'd like to thank ECF and its members because without you, I would have been lost in a world of jargon and equipment that I didn't understand. You've explained things to me, supported me during rough patches like when my luggage with my vape equipment was lost and I was down to my last few drops of liquid, made me laugh, made me cry by touching my heart, and given me strength and friendship. This community is priceless.

If there are any smokers out there reading this and still unsure if you want to give vaping a try, just go for it. It might work for you the way it worked for me or it might not, but you'll never know if you don't at least give it a fair try. Who knows, the force might be with you, too.

Hey, lady! Good to see you again, too. Although I guess I can't tease you the way I used to because you're a big time moderator now. You have the power to ban me if I get mischievous Congratulations!! That's so awesome and I'm so proud of you.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear you went through a major stressful time. Wish I had been here for ya. But I'm glad to hear you didn't slip back into Stinkytown and weren't even tempted. Good for you!

Yeah, that thread when I lost my luggage was not fun to experience but a lot of fun to go back and read later as I happily vaped once my luggage arrived. I think that's when I knew I had quit cigarettes once and for all because I never even thought about buying a pack of smokes, just nervously paced waiting for my vape gear to show up.

I promise to not disappear again. I'll try to hang out here more often. After all, someone has to give you moderators something to do

I can still take the teasing!

We aren't total ogres I am so damn happy to see you! *Huge smile on face*

Many, many congrats on your fantastic achievement and milestone!
I was just trying to give my lungs a break 13 months or so ago, when I finally discovered that I didn't need analogs anymore.
Feels fantastic, doesn't it?

This really says it all when it comes to vaping! Better than smoking!

It really is. I didn't even plan on quitting but I found myself reaching for my vape more and more often instead of my cigarettes and soon I realized I hadn't smoked all day. Easiest quit ever.

I love these anniversary stories! Congratulations to you.

How lovely! Big huge congratulations on your two-year vaping anniversary!

It happened the same way with me:
I bought an e-cig in order to smoke less in the evenings. Started it up, thought "WOW! This rocks!!!" - and made the transition to vaping immediately and with great pleasure. It has been over 2 years now

Super, Jude, so happy to hear!! It's just a darned miracle to find something that allows us to quit comfortably and stay quit and that is fun on top of it all. Big congratulations!!
