Interesting question...the answer changes with time. Initially, I felt the biggest benefit was not having to plan where I would be at what time. The freedom you have all mentioned. Over time, we forget about that 'cause we don't have the same need. Now, the biggest benefit is not the money, not the freedom, it's the achievement. Quitting smoking is one of the most difficult things to do in life and here we are! The biggest benefit for me is that my daughter is growing up with non-smoking parents. Smoking is not okay in our world. Children learn by what they live with and now, my daughter's chances of being a smoker when she grows up have dwindled significantly. It's a wonderful thought [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/6/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 373 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,722 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2685.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 34 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 21 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51

For me, it's knowing I can do anything I set my mind to. If I can quit smoking, then I can do ANYTHING!!!!! I succeed at things now that I never even would have tried before because I know I can do it. I also really enjoy being able to swim better and not feel like my lungs are going to come out of my chest! I love swimming now and don't feel guilty everytime I do it. Before, I didn't swim as much as I wanted to because every time I did, I had this tightness in my chest and couldn't breathe very well and it made me feel guilty because I knew that it was because of smoking. I don't have that anymore and I LOVE swimming now! Crave the Quit!

Biggest benefit? If I am truly honest it would be finding my soul mate. Best of the Rest? Returning to physical fitness which I thought had abandoned me due to my excesses with nicotine and alcohol. In short, luna, then fitness. Penitent d757
