First of all, I just want to point out
that I have been smoking sticks for about six years now. I also
started a monthly blog post about living with “Vape Lyfe”, yes
that's a famous hashtag for vapers now. Check it out on Instagram if
you don't believe me. My journey started about 6 months ago when I
decided to end my vacation by purchasing a basic vape pen. It took me
awhile to take the vape seriously because lets be completely honest
here, it is HARD to quit! A habit is just, too hard to leave behind.
My first attempt lasted about a whole week until friends came over
for a barbeque that involved 2 packs of beer, food, & everyone
being a smoker. Totally hard to resist.
Just a month ago, I decided to purchase
5-weeks supply of e-vape juice (12mg) & restocked my dual coal as
well. I figured “Okay, so I have all these supplies that I spent
under $100 for that should last me for 5 weeks. So why should I let
them collect dust in the drawers & spend $40/weekly to sustain my
4-pack a week habit? Why waste my supplies?” That was what got me
to start, the fact that I wasted money to purchase my vape supplies
only to waste more money to purchase analogs.
I went with that thinking for the first
week, then 2nd week, & it eventually became a habit
that I do not regret! Basically, I want to share with you the
benefits I experienced since I went analog-free.
- I don't wake up feeling like a total crap anymore. No matter if I overslept or not enough.
- My sense of taste has improved!
- I can't stand the smell of analogs anymore (especially when the neighbors smokes like a chimney.)
- I have more energy!
- My thinking is no longer clouded (no pun intended haha.)
- Better mood
- I can breathe easily
- No more annoying & unnecessary coughing
- No smell seeping thru my windows & into the room
- Fingers don't smell
- No yellowish stain on my nails (trust me, I obsess over my nails.)
- No bad breakouts all over my chin area
- Teeth stain diminished
The list might be short now, but it is
only my first month. If you think about it, this list is pretty long
for just my first month of going analog-free. Can you imagine next
month, 3rd, 4th, & a full 12 months of
going smoke-free? I'm excited!
No research was involved into this
post. These are my actual results since going analog-free.
Are you also trying to quit or have
started your own journey to quitting? How is it going for you? Any
ideas or benefits you have experienced from quitting?
