The True Feeling of Success

It has now been 16 months without tobacco. I no longer have the physical addiction to nicotine, and my mental triggers(i.e. after eating, while driving, while drinking, with morning coffee, etc.) are all but gone. I do still carry my e-cig from time to time, but I have found that I will go weeks without using it.

The true feeling of success came earlier this month. It was time for a new health insurance plan, and for the first time in my life, I was able to put "non tobacco" on an application. This is a feeling that I never thought was possible when I started this journey. I was also able to show normal blood pressure and normal cholesterol readings which I attribute directly to being a non-smoker. Two years ago, I was a time bomb waiting for my first heart attack or stroke.

This blog has been highly motivational for me. I'm not entirely sure that I would have been as successful without it. Knowing that there were so many of you following my progress led me to evaluate the temptations in a different way. I have to thank you for the inspiration.

As always, I wish you luck in your journeys.

    I keep the no-nicotine e-cig around for the rare occasions that I drink and feel the urge to smoke. Other than that, I am completely off of e-cigs and nearing 2 and a half years without a real cigarette. Thank you for the question!

    Ecigs have become one of the popular smoking products that are being widely used all over the world at an increasing rate than traditional tobacco smoking products such as paper cigarettes, cigars or pipes. Unlike tobacco smoking, electronic cigarette is a carbon free smoking product that has a long lasting sensational effect on the user and gives more joy and effective health.
