An Addict

[Ms. OBrien CVT]

I am an addict.  My drug of choice is nicotine.  I have smoked for the last 45 years or more.  I smoke a pack or better.

But I have recently changed the delivery system for my drug.  Like many people I have tried to quit and never made it.  But recently I purchased an e-cigarette system.  So far I am 5 days without a cigarette.  I don't seem to have that craving I had before.  Yes I am still getting nicotine, but I have found I am coughing a bit more as my body tries to eliminate the juck in my lungs.

I do feel some what better.  I will know more at the end of the month.  Oh and you can cut down on the amount of nicotine you get if you refill your own cartomizers.

I wish you the best of luck!  And if things get rough, at least you already know of a great support site where nice people will cheer you on

Good work, Janet! The beginning is the worst time. It gets easier as you go. I know, because:

I am an addict. My drug of choice is alcohol. I blew a .27 on a breathalyzer and haven't touched a drop since. That was in 1986.

@Bethany "I finally have a picture of myself as my avatar"  Yes, you do! Good to see you. Hugs, Devlyn
