Day one re-cap.

Yesterday was my first full day of not smoking cigarettes.

I busted out my e-cig whenever I felt the intense urge for a cigarette. It helped some, but it's nothing like the real thing. 

Did some work outs, watched some TV, cooked a diner that involved chopping lots of veggies - to try to keep my mind off of it.

I did have a true test of my willpower last night and as bad as I felt like I NEEDED a cigarette (which would have been quite easy, I could have just walked up stairs and got one from my father). I didn't. I stuck to my e-cig. 

I did however, almost take a cigarette butt out of the ashtray (I know gross, but so is smoking). Told myself no, and emptied it into the trashcan. 

I should have emptied it before I decided I was going to quit!

Blu disposable e-cig and cigarette coupons.

I know just as well as the next person that electronic cigarettes are not the best thing in the world, if you're just replacing regular cigarettes. But my plan is to taper off, to help alleviate the withdrawal symptoms. In this case, they have proven to be quite helpful in smoking cessation.

I still have two cigarettes left.

I just purchased a disposable e-cig by Blu. I like it. I can really see myself using the zero nicotine ones in the near future.

I have a small victory I'd like to share. When i got home from work, there were cigarette coupons in my mailbox. I always use those coupons. But this time, in the trash they went! Hooray!

I will continue to post my victories, no matter how small or insignificant. I will also post my not so proud moments. This is, after-all, a blog about quitting smoking.
