I just hit 34 days anolog free! At the same time I quit smoking, I quit drinking soda and started drinking more water. I started working out because in the past I always gained weight in my attempts to quit. I've lost 7 pound in a month and actually ran a mile today. These are huge mile stones for me! Thanks to the forum and the support I've gotten here just from my constant lurking. Anyone else experiencing a new zest for life because of vaping? I sure have. I may even think my husband loves me a little more for finally kicking that nasty habit!
Vapping has changed my life

I haven't run any marathons lately. But, after 37 years of enslavement, I'm finally free!!!!! And, I don't feel stinky and embarrassed everywhere I go!
It sounds like you are doing everything right and are very excited, that's awesome. I have started cycling again and it feels wonderful not being out of breath and having to stop to rest like I used to. If you ever have bad days or feel like you might fall off the wagon just remember how you feel now and keep moving forward!
Almost 4 days off of cigarettes now and my sense of smell is coming back. Also I noticed this morning something amazing. My eye sight has begun to get better. Don't get me wrong, I am as blind as a bat without my glasses and I still am, this isn't some miracle. However, it is a sign of more oxygen and less carbon monoxide and other chemicals in my body. So my body has started to work better.
Very glad to hear that, congrats Meganatrix!
I had been a smoker for over a decade, quit three times (each lasted around 1 year), after 3 failed attempts at quitting, finally decided to just go for the nicotine&oral fixation substitute (vaporizers) instead.
Whenever I quit smoking, my energy level and ability/willingness to exercise rises dramatically (not to mention the joie-de-vivre-boost you're referring to), and of course, it has happened when I switched to vaporizers too.
I prevent probable weight-gains by beginning a regimen of walks several days a week once I quit (around 45 mins a day, duration can be increased gradually), I walk rapidly but at a comfortable pace at which I don't ever run short of breath. Since it never feels like intense-exercising, it's very sustainable. By doing this alone, I managed to actually lose a couple of pounds each time I quit.
Have the same problem with sodas, substituting them partially with a way healthier alternative, white tea& mate (and stevia) helped me a lot, but it's still a vice I have to live/reckon with.
Hope we never have to switch back to manuals, and hang on to our zest.
Best!
