Feeling So Much Better

Just a quick post today before I get back to work. 

I'm feeling so much better since I stopped smoking. While I'm "vaping", I'm working on cutting down, mostly by just using the ecig less and less. The fact that I'm focusing on my work more than I was before is helping me tremendously. Yesterday, several hours went by without me even thinking about taking out the ecig. I had a feeling that my quit would be a natural one, with the ecig, and I think I was right. 

It seems nice to sleep so soundly now. I'm enjoying the fact that I'm breathing better, and I know I smell better! It was really encouraging to me to see how much money I was able to make yesterday by focusing on my work and not focusing on hiding outside (whether that meant taking a walk, or taking a drive) so that I could smoke. 

This is kind of a funny thing...there was a note in our mailbox yesterday from our landlords. Now, if you read my other blog posts, you know that they live in the upper apartment of our house, and I've been hiding from them too, in my closet smoking endeavors. Their note said that they had gone to Wisconsin and they won't be back until December. If I had gotten that note prior to switching to ecigs, I probably would have kept right on smoking because it would have been easier. Luckily, I was already on my fifth day without a regular cigarette, so I am happy to report it didn't derail me at all. It just kind of made me chuckle at the irony of the situation.

OK, got to get back to work! Have a great day, everyone!
