Ok, so it's been 30 days today since I quit smoking analogs, and I have been using my PV's exclusively now. So, what's happened to me in these last 30 days?

And soon became today. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait long. Now, first day using the M401, and I haven't smoked an analog since 3 this afternoon. It's now 9 in the evening, and this is the longest I've been without a regular cigerette, without being asleep, in forever.
