Why can't the things I really like be healthy for you lol. I'm also pretty sure if I smoked a cigarette right now I would get a massive headache and puke my guts up so I'm not going down that path.

Keep it up man

55 days of no smoking!
21 days of no nicotine!

I'm glad I wrote down all the reasons I wanted to quit smoking. Amazing how in such a relatively short period of time you can forget why you did something and could use a little reminder. I was not having a good day yesterday and came realllllllly close to falling off the wagon but thankfully I carry this list with me in my wallet.

Cool, cool.

My biggest reason, and I carry it with me to this day, was that I didn't miss waking up like this...

congrats man!!!! That is awsome that you got that poison out of our blood stream! Remember, keep it out of your blood and you will be fine. Find something else, like car parts. lol

b1adesofcha0s · 05-25-2011, 02:02 PM

Keep it up

superchargedg · 05-25-2011, 09:26 PM

Keep it up man and maybe modding your car could help out.

Okay so I had been smoking for the past 10 years. Cigarette prices varied through the years but I'm going estimate the average cost for a pack of smokes to be $4.00, I lived in SC for a while they were like $2 a pack down there and the highest price I regularly paid here was about $6.25. I didn't always smoke a pack a day for 10 years but for simplicity reasons we will just say that I did. In the past 10 years I've thrown away about $15,512.50 on smokes. That number blows my mind, wish I had that to help put towards a down payment on a house...

Someone I know from NY is paying 12 bucks a pack.

b1adesofcha0s · 05-26-2011, 08:49 AM

That's crazy! Just think of how much money you will save in the future

Its been a while and I havent thought much about smoking recently so this thread kind of died off which is technically a good thing. Anyway just an update for the hell of it, I'm still holding strong and on day 74 of no smoking!

Congrats, Andrew!

Good job!!!!!! But please stay vigilant. I have seen many people relapse and go back, several months or years later. It's been 74 days, that is not very long. Bum one smoke and you are right back where you were 75 days ago.

There are like 4 people where I work that have all quit at one point or another over the last few years, and guess what. They are all smoking again right now... It's f!@#ing tough.

NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!
