Had smoke-free day one! That hasn't happened in forever!

Yesterday, I felt SO much better overall, and I was much more able to get around, do stuff, without crashing into something or otherwise having difficulty. Had some fierce cravings (especially after 3 p.m., but that's normal for me I guess.... I just perservered.) Was able to hang out outside with husband (we're stoop sitters, even at 90 degrees, LOL). I could tell he felt bad as he kept moving away to smoke and I was like, "No, no, honey, come back, so I can inhale that lovely second hand smoke!" but he wouldn't. Heh.

Got a couple more flavors, I love coco and that flavor in particular really tastes like it sounds. I also remembered my go to skill for antsiness/edgyness, my last serious attempt at quitting I failed, but I did make the most beautiful blanket for a friend of mine's M who was dying of cancer... So it was off to Micheal's and purchased like $100 of supplies (expensive, but the way I do them, I have to pick a bunch of colors, running out then trying to find the same dye lot sucks, and then once squares are knit, I applique them with felt patterns and words and it's mostly soothing and numbing until I get to laying out the pattern, then it gets complicated. ) My GM taught me to knit and crochet when I was 5, I can't believe I TOTALLY forgot about this coping skill, it's really helping me not chain vape! Maybe I'll sell this one to buy liquid, LOL, except I already have in mind someone to give it to....

I'm surprised, I thought I'd really be into high watt/sub ohm vaping but I vastly prefer my nautilus 2 at a lower wattage and I again, am so grateful to the person who suggested it. Aspire tanks are great.... While buying flavors I was looking for a spare, but all they had was Kanger tanks, they are so flimsy and awful....(to me). Maybe in a week or two if this persists, I will order a second tank.

Thanks to all you guys who helped me get this far! I feel so much more prepared than I have times past, here's hoping I can continue in this direction :) :) :)

Variety of different tanks with different juices in them is what keeps me vaping. Gotta change it up to keep me interested....but that is just me. Smoking the same tasting ole cigarettes was Nevah' this much fun.

I can't wait to start hearing you talk about how your skin and hair just seem so much better. And how much energy you now seem to have. Rediscovering how foods really smell and taste was a big one for me. No more gagging, and waking up in the middle of the night coughing your lungs out. Treasure every newly re-discovered event as it is on this journey that we truly begin to heal, not only our bodies but every aspect of life.

:)
