6 Months Smoke Free

[Lexree]

WOw this has definitely been quite the journey😌 I have managed to stay smoke-free for the last 6 months and counting🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 this has been one of the hardest things I've ever ever had to do in my life. It does get easier but there are some days where I feel like I just can't do it anymore I just want to go back and have that one cigarette or that one drag but I know where that will lead me back to smoking again.....

I have a lot more good days than bad and I honestly haven't felt better in my whole entire life physically and mentally there has been so many changes and challenges I've had to face in the last 6 months some good and not some not-so-good!!!! But let me tell you it is worth every friggin penny to be smoke-free today.... I don't know if you guys remember me telling you that my husband was so proud he was going to take me and my kids on a family vacation this summer to Aruba we leave in 2 weeks and I couldn't be more excited. If you remember I was beeping right after I had quit I am still vaping today and I'm still using 0mg of nicotine🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Now that has been extremely hard as well because there's been many times when I've wanted to put nicotine in the vapor juice but I knew that if I did that I was putting nicotine back into my body and I was most likely going to go back and buy cigarettes again. I found myself in that situation this afternoon I went to the corner store to stock up on all my vapor stuff as we are going on vacation for 2 weeks normally I would be buying two cartons of cigarettes instead I bought a big bottle of 0mg of juice. I was contemplating in my head just to put 6 mg s of juice in my vapor "just" for the trip then I would go back to the 0mg when we got home but I realized how hard I have worked to be here smoke-free I'm going to ruin that because I want to smoke on vacation. This is called an addiction my friends and boy I have fought this one!!!!!

I was a smoker of 20 years almost a pack and a half a day I know some will say that vaping is bad even if it is 0mg but right now it's the only thing that has kept me from not smoking and that is the truth....

I am proud I even made it 24 hours.

Love this site it has been there with me from day one. I always know I can come back...

Talk Soon

Thanks for listening✌

Wow April, what a post, every word is perfect and reminded me of myself back when I hit 1 year, you are doing this at 6 months which is brilliant

I do indeed remember your husband treating you to the fabulous trip away, you know what you have to do and I have no doubt it will be no bother to you and you will be grand.

Hand on heart, the first holiday smoke free is amazing, you will enjoy it so much better, I promise - looking forward to reading all about it in a few weeks and some pictures too!! Enjoy every minute

Congratulations Lexree and enjoy your well deserved vacation. All the newcomers note it does get better, though we need to stay on our guard.

I went to Aruba twice and it was really nice. The weather is guaranteed perfect, never a storm. A few restaurants on the beach where your table is 30 feet from the water before sunset and is covering your ankles by desert.

Have a great time with your family.
