I quit smoking today, anybody else want in?

Nothing will make me start again, so not worried about any craves, they can just fuk off and I will go eat a shit load of food instead in the mean time.


here in nZ is 20 pks 25pks 40pks


I figured around $ 200-000 that's half a dam fine house here

 

Good for you. :up:

I have a few family members and close friends who I pray can kick it for good some day.

I shocked my aunt with the numbers from her 1-2 pack/day/30 year habit once......she could have retired VERY comfortably about 10 years ago had that money been put to better use. Sadly I feel that she's stuck in the "what's the point now?" mentality more than anything.....

 

So which defines a pack a day habit?

 

Funnily enough, out here it is automatically assumed a pack a day user is a 20 pack person

 

1 month away from 8 years for me. Past few weeks have made me glad, too. My dad passed away in his 50s from a heart attack, a couple of weeks ago one of my younger brothers (45) had a heart attack and the only thing that saved him was that he was doing a pharmacy inventory in a hospital at the time. Both of them were because of cholesterol plaque blockages so I decided to go get a scan to see how long I have to go before I fall over dead. My score? Zero, best score you can have. The doc told me that smoking is one of the biggest factors in plaque formation, as both of them were/are smokers I can see it.

 

Damn....I just realized March was 9 years. I'll have to pin down the date and celebrate when I make it to 10.

 

:up:

 

Good news. Those things are dangerous.
When you're really ready, you know it.
Stay strong.

 

I quit after my last TD at Road Atlanta on 11-9... Been 2 weeks.... I also Quit Drinking a week before..... I am going out of my Fn Mind.....

 

It gets easier! I smoked a pack a day of Marlboro Reds from age 15 to age 40, been almost 8 years since I quit.

 

Quit like 4 months ago. Been doing good. Don't even have the urge to smoke anymore. Just a puff or two once a week or so when I'm out

 

doesn't sound like quitting to me

good on ya though, since nobody likes a quitter

 

I started again after the ex and I split but quit again going on 3 months ago. Have been running 20+ miles a week and now I'm training to run a half marathon in March. I feel great physically and mentally. :up:

 

And a year has gone by without a butt.

 

my my how time Flys, it's been 2 years and some change since I last had a cigarette. my fitness is much better, I play hockey 2-3 times a week and hit the gym the days I'm not on the ice. Once again I congratulate everyone who has made it years without smoking and am proud to be part of this club!

 

This June will be 8 years for me. I'm 48 and started when I was 15 or 16. One of the few things I've done that I'm truly proud of.

 

Haven't touched a smoke since August of last year!

 

10 years this past April.

 

Awesome

Been 2.5 years for me. Actually seems kinda surreal, I still smell em and want one but seems like a long long time ago that I smoked.
