What is my real quit day?

This was a comment on my post from yesterday first day Nicotine free...

Yes to all you have to say!  You have been through it, you know it, all I have to do is listen...

I did it today, no e-cig at all, about 4-5 cravings, walked throug 2 of them (8.4 miles...), used orange flavored gum while at the store (why would the craving hit me in a grocery store, I never smoked there???), and had some sweets I made (not so good for the weight but so delicious), and lots of cold water.

Now, I am not done reading Allen's book, I have not reached my official quit day, but with not one cigarette since 3/11, and just the occasional e-cig, what is my real, true, Quit Day???

I really used the e-cig as NRT, can I count 3/11 as my quit day, pretty please?  Need to build the non-smoker confidence, believe in myself, and embrace the joy of having left my old " boyfriend" behind, and never turned my head.

Later tonight I'll write him the Good Bye letter, and boy, do I have a lot to say!

Have a wonderful week, man, what a change you all prompted in me, Thank you for that!!!

Lots of people use NRTs in the early days of their quits - and their date is the first day they went without smoking a cigarette.  I think you can use 3/11.

The day you don't smoke another cigarette is your quit date. So 3/11 is it.  You're less than 10 days away from your first month's milestone.  How great is that!!!
