It has been 17 hours since my last cigarette. I smoked my last one yesterday at 10pm. It has been a little tough today to get out of the usual routine, but so far I am holding strong. I’ve substituted chewing gum and snacking on trail mix instead of the cigarette. It has also been 4 days since I have had a soda. I used to drink anywhere from 2-5 Cokes a day. Now it’s just apple juice, grape juice or a snapple and my morning Red Bull.

With all the money I am going to save, I have decided to start a boat fund. Every time I would buy smokes I will put that money in a jar instead. Hopefully by the beginning of next summer I will have enough to buy a nice 19ft jet boat.
