With the 3 month anniversary of me not smoking cigarettes, I thought
I'd post this story. As far as any of family or friends can remember,
I've been a smoker. I started out hitting the local
liquor store for a couple of Newport singles a day. Being the heavy weed smoker that I was, it just seemed like desert after the good meal. Then the 3 singles went to 5. Then it ended up turning into me just buying a pack. Back then '94, the pack would last me a week. 16 years later i was up to a pack and a half a day. When you seen me, you seen me smoking a lung dart! I was looking at some pictures recently and noticed that damn! I had a cigarette in my hand in
alot of the photos. Waking up, coughing up that nasty shit. Running just 25 yards and coughing my ass off! I
wasn't out of shape, my lungs were!! My 4 year old son would ask me "what are you doing dad? Going to smoke?" I smoked so much that he knew what it was. I never smoked in the car with my kids or inside the house. I tried the nicotine patches many times...never worked. I had some crazy dreams though, wearing them at night! It even says it on the box. "may cause vivid dreams" That part i loved. But i eventually went back to smoking. Until one day I decided to try the electronic cigarette. It was like i was still smoking!! Just without the odor and the horrible toxins i was putting into my lungs. It has been almost 3 months. No smokes! I feel good. I hope i can keep it up and stay smoke free forever! Wish me luck!
