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!

Found this!

101 Things to Do Instead of Smoking

I suggest going to this site when you've got a craving. Working for me right now.

Day one...continued

V2-cigs customer service are really starting to piss me off. Since Friday I have used the online chat three times to get my order straightened out so that what I ordered was what they had in stock so that it would be here soon.

Well, it still has not shipped and the order was never changed. It's just sitting there waiting to be filled while I am starting to hate my disposable Blu e-cig.

I'm so anxious and irritable. I hope day two is easier.

I want a cigarette SO BAD.

But I will not!

Day One. Skittles.

First day without a cigarette.

I ate too many skittles

Feeling anxious but Blu e-cig is helping somewhat.

Need to get some crunchy raw veggies for snacking.

Don't wanna be rainbow fat.

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.

Two cigarettes left.

I am still waiting for my V2 cigs to come in the mail. From the looks of things, they will not be here today.

So in the meantime, I will be headed to the convenience store and purchasing a disposable e-cig for the time being.

I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER PACK OF CIGARETTES.

Oh neat! My first blog entry.

My brief summary.

My name is Tara and I am a smoker. I am only 26 years old, but I have been smoking cigarettes since I was 13/14. This is my second attempt ever to quit. The first time I used Nicorette gum, but traumatic events caused me to pick it right back up only about two months later.

Today, I am still a smoker. In my purse is my last pack of camel menthol silver. I have 4 cigarettes left. My last four.

My method for quitting will be my electronic cigarette.

So now we wait until it gets here.

I will be blogging my day to day progress.
