It's a rough morning to wake up from staying out way too late, but I felt noticeably better than I did most Friday mornings! I didn't realize how smoking impacted my day to day energy. I felt great!!
As for the non-smoking, I'm not as irritable these days as I was on Wednesday. The cravings are subsiding and the hardest part is now past me. Let's hope so anyways!
Thank you again Cigalects for being my savior! I will hang on to Cigalects as long as need be to become an official ex-smoker!

Day 4 with Cigalects
I'm feeling better this morning. I want a cigarette and I'm looking forward to my Cigalects.
Another day of work goes by. A co-worker joined me in smoking the electronic cigarette! It's nice to have someone on board that wants to quit. It's so easy to cave in, but I need to do this, I can't go back to being a smoker.
It's Thursday night and I'm going out with some friends! My friends and I like to have a few drinks and smoke cigarettes. I smoke my e-cig and they're all very supportive. It's not quite the same, but I wouldn't have come this far if it weren't for the electronic cigarettes.
Even with drinking I'm able to manage to stick to my e-cig. Thank you Cigalects for saving me!

Day 3 with Cigalects
I'm not going to lie, I woke up really wanting a cigarette and felt annoyed that I couldn't. Well, I could, but darnit, I told everyone that I was quitting and I can't be a failure already! Dangit!
So I let an e-cig, not happy about it, while I got ready for work. Ugh.
My co-workers are noticing that I'm irritated and they seem very understandable. Well, I heard about five times to keep up the good job, so I'm assuming they noticed my irritability. I had to admit it, YES, I WAS IRRITABLE!!!!!
Throughout the day I focused on my list of why I was quitting, I took my smoke breaks with my friends, and I managed to crack a smile half-way through my day. I had decided that even though it wasn't fair, it was my fault in the first place and I was the only one that made me become a smoker. I hated to realize that.
I managed to make it to bed without cheating, but I wasn't very happy about it. Not a very good day in the life of a quitter.

Day 2 with Cigalects
Hey All!
I'm going to take Week 1 real slow because every minute is crucial. If you've tried to quit, you know what I mean.
So Day 2 I woke up and thought about a cigarette within 5 minutes of being awake. I realized that I could smoke in the house while getting ready for work! Yeah! This quitting thing was quite alright....but how could it possibly be good for me? Was it making me even more of a smoker? Hmm...
I went through the same type of day at work as I did on Day 1. I looked forward to my smoke breaks and took them regularly. I did miss the traditional cigarette at that point, but reminded myself why I was quitting and mentally re-focused.
I smoked when I got home from work inside the house and was starting to get a hang of this routine. The best feeling is going to bed realizing that I hadn't smoked in 2 days. Good work!

Day 1 with Cigalects
So of course I put it off for about a week while I mentally prepared myself to quit. If you've ever tried to quit before, then you know what I'm talking about! Every time I smoked I told myself it was the last time for me to smoke and tried to enjoy every bit of it. I found myself with a love/hate relationship with smoking.
My last week of smoking came to an end and I got my electronic cigarette ready for Monday - Day 1 of quitting. I took it to work with me. I work for a large company and have my "smoke breaks" the same time everyday with a few of my co-workers. I smoked the e-cig during our first smoke break and it was really fun. All of my friends were intrigued, as was I. So at this point I was mentally becoming a quitter, but still maintained the same lifestyle. The best part was that when I went back to my cubicle, I didn't stink of smoke and get harassed by my neighbor. Woohoo!
I continued to use the e-cig throughout my day and it was fine. I wasn't constantly thinking about wanting a cigarette and I felt good that I was quitting. I was able to smoke on my drive home and didn't think about what I was going to do without a cigarette on my drive. I was never a litterer of cigarette butts and I'd always keep them until I found a garbage can so it was nice not to have to worry about what to do with my cigarette butt.
A few more puffs throughout my Day 1 (this time I even smoked INSIDE the house while I was online) and I felt great about myself as I went to bed. Great job!

How the Starting Began....
Hello!
This blog is being written as a result of finally becoming an ex-smoker!! I am so proud and feel so great about myself that I want to share my success story (thanks to Cigalects!) with all of you. If you're a smoker then Please Please Please listen to what I have to say as you too can become an ex-smoker, even if you don't think you can!
I was a smoker for 14 years and I didn't realize I was a smoker until I tried to quit 4 years ago. I couldn't. Whenever I tried to quit, I was miserable and couldn't accomplish anything because my mind was always consumed by wanting to smoke. I tried everything to take my mind off of if, and I still couldn't. I was becoming the best at failure.
My friend introduced me to Cigelex - the electronic cigarette, and I laughed about it. I thought it was cool, but no way was it going to get me to quit. My friend finally talked me into trying it so I took advantage of the free trial offer.
Stay posted for my Week 1 with Cigelex.....
