Had my first workout post-cigarettes and wow… Being able to breathe again makes a huge difference in the quality of the exercise (duh!). Was able to really push myself without feeling like I was going to pass out from lack of oxygen and (amazingly) felt quite good after I was done.
Been trying to become less of a couch potato for years now and I guess I underestimated the effects of cigs. Really not very bright on my part eh…
… and not a single ‘analog’ cigarette. Rock!
So my new tasty ‘juice’ came in today and I’m 100% hooked. The flavor is worlds above the pre-filled carts I got with my 901 and it’s much, much smoother.
I haven’t had a cigarette now since the evening of the 8th, and I haven’t missed em in the least. My chest has cleared up significantly already, my energy levels are up and I can take deep breaths without a ‘catch’ again. Sure, I still have the nicotine monkey on my back, but losing the tar and other misc chemicals has been a huge win. I’ve also been able to deal with the daily stresses of my job without the normal withdrawal issues, matter of fact it’s been a bit easier since I can just reach over and take a puff during those long phone meetings.
Haven’t smoked a regular cig since Friday evening and I feel great. Yesterday I did experience some restlessness but I’m chalking that up to the lack of the other chemicals in cigs. It could also be as simple as learning to use the eCig…
Either way, I’m feeling much better today and zero withdrawl feelings. So far so good.
So, been aware of the so-called ‘eCig‘ for a little while now but finally was able to try one a friend has at work. My starter kit and a few extras came in yesterday evening and so far I’m impressed. It’s taking care of my cravings which is more than I can say about any of the other options I’ve tried, my lungs are already feeling better and I’m not 24 hrs into this experiment. I think I’ll actually try and update the status of this little experiment in case someone else out there is on the fence about it as well…
