    Default Day 8 and counting

    This is my 8th day smoke free!!

    I realized how much more stuff I could buy or places I could visit by saving about $300.00 a month!!

    Nice one Jack, I know it is a hard slog but it is worth it! I have been smoke free for almost 20 years now, the first couple were the hardest.
    All the best.

    Default Congratulations!!

    some empathy from another Quitter: the first hour is not good. the first day is pretty bad. the first week is no picnic. the first month is not a lot of fun.

    thanks to some folks who cared, i stuck it out for the first year, and the rest is history. looks like there are just the sort of folks you might need right around here!

    keep posting--you might encourage someone else...

    Thumbs up

    Jack -

    That's GREAT !!

    My last cigarette was at 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 12, 1989.

    Only twenty years and a couple days for you to catch up. No sweat, for sure.

    Hey Jack, last Thursday marked 8 weeks for me. I finally got tired of greedy politicians taking advantage of my addiction.

    The first two days were like a 48 hour panic attack. but it has been surprisingly easy since then. I've only had one evening, a special occasion, that kicked off significant cravings.

    Don't know abut you, but the latest tax increase took them up to about $50 a carton here. So I've already saved about $400.

    Hang in there and keep going!

    You folks are all just a bunch of quitters!! Me too! Going on the 4th year. Breathing is so nice, food tastes sooooo good (as can be evidenced by my belly) and not rattling when I lay down at night is really nice. Congrats to all who have kicked the habit (addiction).
