I guess I never really posted an intro. I kind of fell into this KTC group backwards. 7 days ago I took the last step of my 2 year quit smoking journey. For 20 years I would smoke all day then dip all night. Not really sure why, but that is what I did. 2 years ago I was invited to sub in on a buddy's softball team. Double header. Ouch. I was fucked out of breath for almost the whole time. That is when I realized that I was not invincible and I need to stop. I decided to switch to vaping all day and dipping at night. My lung function did vastly improve. I told myself - yeah this is healthy. Vaping is healthy and I only dip at night. I can do this forever.... Till about two months ago... Got back from the dentist... 2 crowns 2 root canals, and two teeth we are keeping an eye on. Shoot maybe I can't do this forever. I trade in the dip at night for nicorette lozenges. Again I tell myself- this is healthy, I can do this forever. After dropping the Grizzly for lozenges I begin experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
I google withdrawal symptoms and found my way to kill the can. I click on the live chat to ask questions about withdrawal. Flucky21 was on there and a couple other vets. They ask me some tough questions that challenge my idea of "safe nicotene". After a couple days and some soul searching, I man up, give away all my vaping shit, flush my lozenges and post roll. I am sick of being enslaved by master "nic". It took me 2 years to finally quit, but I did it.
Anyways, that's my intro I guess. Thanks for listening.
