Today marks a day.. a special day..

10 months analog free! It was at exactly 9:19pm EST 10 months ago that I picked up my first Blu disposable and never looked back. Not even a puff of a cancer stick! I wanted to quit, found my outlet and escaped from the yellowing, smoke-stained death grip of addiction. Now I am proud to say my lungs, wallet and clothing thank me. My father was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and when we found out I told him "Dad, if there is ever anything I can do..." He stopped me and just replied, with a slight desperation in his voice "Son.. How about trying to quit those damn cigarettes..." That was all it took. Done-zo. No more. I make sure I remind him every week of my progress - the sheer joy in his voice when he says "That's so good son, I'm proud of you" makes me know that I made the right choice and I would like to think that with all the news he receives weekly from doctors, insurance agencies and physicians that my good news is doing nothing but helping him smile.

I have to say thank you to all you fine folks for helping me along this journey, even though I haven't been around long It's been a good run and there's no stoppin now

Your wallet thanked you? Mine doesn't thank me.... everything else thanks me though!

Congrat!!! I never get tired of reading posts like this! I'm only 22 days in but haven't had a analog since the day I put my PV together. . Im sure your Dad is extremely happy to know your off cigarettes!

Congrats! Big up!

Congrats on 10 months.
Your wallet thanked you, mine took a year to forgive me.

That is so wonderful, Platemail. Your Dad smiling is such a great reward but the ecigs make it a reality without the incredible suffering of quitting cold turkey

Congrats. Health most important!

Congratulations! Your an inspiration to a new comer like me. Even though it's been only 2 months now I'm no longer counting the days and weeks but counting months. I don't think I could have done it if it wasn't for vaping...and this place and the people here are equally to be thanked.

Posts like these make me glad I stopped before COPD took complete hold of my life. Thanks.

That IS a great story. I miss my dad! I was suggest active to a guy fixing my washer machine. He was having obvious trouble breathing and I just had to say something. Talked about the whole slew of things people are doing but he said he'd tried them all and didnt work. It's not easy to quit! But it's easier with vaping and staying quit is downright fun. Enjoy your new health and congrats

Congrats to you, what would really help is tell your story to the FDA! You can get help writing to them thur CASAA. We all need to make sure we don't lose our right to vape!

Congratulations!!! I'm really sorry to hear about what your dad is dealing with, but your decision to switch has lightened his load in a huge way!

All the best to both of you.
