Congratulations!
Quit compleely 10 years ago after off and on smoking for 20 years. I'm an obnoxious ex-smoker unfortunately. My husband tries and fails to quit periodically, whining about how hard it is, and I have no sympathy. Hard? How hard is it to stop sticking them between your lips and lighting them?0 -
awesome! Congratulations! Its been 2 1/2 years for me and it was the best thing i could have ever done for myself. I also detest cigarettes and the smell of them make me physically ill!0

Well it has been 9.5 hours since I quit, still no cravings at all. I do have to admit that I notice other people smoking everywhere I go.0

YES! I can smell it from a mile away too!0 -
I quit Nov. 13, 2009. Yeah for US!!!! :flowerforyou:0

Well done. I quit about two years ago, and it's made life much much easier. I hate the smell of it now, and working around smokers isn't easy, but I rarely get tempted. I like being able to breathe, and the Nicorette gum helps too.0

I've never smoked for any lenght of time, still marvel that when I tried I never liked it or got addicted. And, when I was single looking for a man, if he smoked, that was a deal-breaker. So, I'm happy for you and your health and the health of those around you. Thank you for not smoking! You're going to be richer in a lot of ways.0

Wow! 201 Euros? That is like 260 bucks here, and about 10 bucks a pack! Were you a two pack a day smoker or something, or are cigs really that expensive over there? That is a ton!0 -
I quit just a few weeks ago myself. I didn't do it for the reasons that most people do, but the end result is the same. Tried a couple of years ago, but ended up with digestion problems as a result, due to the crap that I was eating at the time. That's usually a pretty good indicator that your diet is completely ****ed.
Fortunately, this time, since I am eating clean, I'm having no such problems.0 -
Oct 1, 2011. Just celebrated my 1 year, and damn is it nice. Can't believe I smoked for all those years. Stupid. Oh, and once you quit, you are quit. 10 years from now you won't be able to take a puff off your friends smoke at the bar. Just don't ever do it. You're done for life. I think that's what finally got me to stay quit this time. I realized there was no such thing as becoming a social smoker.
Oh, and edit: I saved $2,905.48 by not smoking. I've actually set aside that money and used it to buy a new(to me) car.0 -
I smoked for 17 years quit 7 years ago the difference after months is great, the difference after 5 is fantastic.
I swear it's knocked 15 years off me and stopped my 'fitness' decaying so quickly.
I finally did it by stopping drink for 6 months, your mates at the pub will not do you any favours.0 -
This post makes me very happy. I am so happy for you and the countless others 0

Well done Josh. I quit almost 9 years ago when I found out I was pregnant, have had the odd temptation but have never looked back.:drinker:0

Congratulations...
Today is my 39 week anniversary of being a quitter
I have put 50 pounds into a clear jar every week since I quit - I am now 1,950 richer!0 -

So much truth to this. I quit drinking alcohol years ago, however I had something else that I enjoyed smoking with even more. Coffee has always been my big thing that I had to have a cigarette with. Since I literally drink nothing but coffee (other than protein shakes) you can see why it made quitting smoking a pain in the *kitten*.

July 19th, 2009 was the day I quit. I saved my money and on my 6 month anniversary I bought a Nintendo Wii and Wii Fit including the board and a few games. I do celebrate each year, I told hubby (who has never smoked) at my 10 year I want diamond earrings. Good luck, keep it up no matter how hard it is. BE A QUITTER!0

I joined 'Stoptober', so this is day 10 for me. I decided to go cold turkey from 40-a-day, and no cravings to speak of. Now if only I could persuade my 60-a-day partner...0

To answer your question on behalf of the other Forum Member, £ = Pounds Sterling (UK). 586 divided by 29 is approximately 1 pack of 20 per day. I'm a non-smoker, but I understand a pack of cigarettes in the UK is around £7.00 (= $11.25 USD at today's rates). Cigarettes are taxed heavily by our government (about 80% and rising), but sadly this isn't a big enough disincentive for smokers. Many UK smokers bring back cigarettes from other European countries, such as France and Spain, where tobacco taxes are lower.
It saddens me when I see young teenagers still taking up smoking. Some have asked me for a light, and I can't help but ask them why they want to become life-long cigarette addicts. I'm sure they think I'm crazy!
Many congratulations. Come back and let us know how you celebrated your 31st day!0 -
