All the things listed plus the fact that the dog doesn't sit around staring balefully at me and WHEEZING through his nose trying to catch his breath.

I forgot how much control this addiction had over me. I forgot how much I avoided activities because of my addiction. This weekend I went away to a jam-packed conference with friends. I didn't have to worry about when I would get to smoke my next cigarette...I didn't have to take the elevator downstairs 30 million times to smoke just because I was having a glass of wine. I had the freedom to enjoy the whole weekend without the stress of feeding my addiction. I hope that I never forget that again.

The best for me is when the big sneeze comes first thing in the morning, I can fully inhale without the tickle scaring the sneeze off! Been catching myself cutting off the breath just because I'm used to it, not because I need to anymore. And man I do love a good sneeze :) x T [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 105 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,432 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �577.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 30 [B]Seconds:[/B] 11

Of course all of those above, but the main thing is that I know I won't probably die of a smoking related disease. No lung cancer. So my answer in a nutshell: LIVING.
