Sorry to hear of sad news in any circumstances, but try to follow these steps:
1. Get rid of any and all analogs anywhere you may frequent or have them stashed. Also remove all ashtrays and clean up any areas outside where butts have accumulated.
2. Promise yourself to not buy any analogs
3. Promise yourself not to borrow a smoke from someone. Try to avoid social circumstances involving other smokers or smoking acquaintances, especially when you are down, weak or vulnerable.
4. Depending on your personality traits, try to cut down on alcohol consumption until you are confident the drinking won't weaken your resolve. In my case, this step was crucial to my success; over 1 1/2 years later, I can drink socially without any inclination to bum a smoke - this is how I usually caved in the past.
5. Completely disassociate smoking with stressful events or as a means to calm yourself - convince yourself that the nicotine in the ecig will satisfy the cravings, or try other diversions (although this concept is promoted in other cessation techniques, it works much better with the help of our friends at V4L).
Most importantly, thank yourself each day you wake up that you are not smoking; spend a brief moment contemplating how much better off you are, and how bad you would feel if you caved. Good luck, be positive and be strong.
You'll be fine. You are in the right place.
