Thank you new me for starting this thread and congratulations on 18 days today!! In answer - all the above (or below as it is now!) and much, much more!! I couldn't begin to tell you what a change it has made to my life and ALL for the better! What we have done and are doing for ourselves leaves me feeling elated, joyous and thankful. When I read threads like this, I know that I've got it right and I share in the joy of those happy souls around me. Is smoking really better than this? I don't think so. Heads up, chests out and just keep walking, Positivos!!! Be proud, be very proud!! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/18/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1121 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 22,420 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �5,605.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 180 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 15

My favotite thing is I no longer stink, my clothes don't stink, my house and car don't stink. When I put lotion on my hands I can still smell it hours later!

thank you John W for sharing on this thread. 4 years, how wonderful. Here goes, more reasons I am estatic to be smoke free. I have met a whole new group of people at work..the non smokers. I always hung out in the smoking area outside; now I hang inside in the nice ac and have meant alot of great people that I never would have if I continued to smoke. My skin no longer has a grey/yellow cast to it...my daughter looked at me and exclaimed "mom, your skin looks so good. Your cheeks are actually pink" I gave her a smile and a peck on the cheek. I no longer have the nagging fear of getting a horrible smoking related disease..hopefully, I have quit in time. new me [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/26/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 17 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 408 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $85.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 24 [B]Seconds:[/B] 4

Hello Friends, I like the answer that Anna gave on laughing again, You know, I must have smoked those stinking cigerettes like 40 + years, I really forgot how to laugh and smile, Will that has all changed now, for I no longer have that solumn look of a smoker, or the frown and wrinkles on Your face, It has been over 4 years now since I've even touched a cigerette, I didn't know that smoking could take such a toll on a person, It's like, Before and After, I can only Thank this Website, and the People and Friends Who helped me see the light, I keep asking the same question that most of You do, ''Why? did it take me so long, To see the light,'' May I just say that I,m proud of All of You, whether it be One day since Your quit, or a year or two, It's a matter of Improving Your lifestyle, ''GO FOR IT,'' I Can't Get Enough, Smokless In Oklahoma [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/10/2003 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1555 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 46,650 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $6,655.40 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 363 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 39 [B]Seconds:[/B] 19

I think I scheduled my life, work around smoke breaks. If I had a meeting I had to decide if I was going to pee or smoke, no time for both, the insanity of the choices I made at times. Pulling into a rest area for a smoke because we didn't smoke in DH's car. I love my breath now, my skin, my energy, my new found time, the way I smell, I going to whiten my teeth.....it is all good news over here :) Great thread :0 [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/2/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 41 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 410 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $71.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 24 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51

Remember when you lit a ciggie and it stuck to your lip and you tried to put it down and it burnt your fingers, did that lip hurt LOL don't miss that part.........also wondering did I put out my cigarette before leaving, did I bring my lighter, how long is this car ride going to be? and on and on and on ..............

Freedom.....Freedom.....Freedom.....that song keeps going thru my head. Freedom from all the lighters & packages, freedom from having to remember to go buy some and making sure you had enough......freedom from having to go outside in -40 weather just so you could smoke... Whoo Hoo Free! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 99 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,475 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,044.45 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 12 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 6 [B]Seconds:[/B] 40

I feel GREAT! I can almost run a mile without my chest hurting (my legs, now that's another story). I am setting a positive example for my kids. I didn't realize just how bad I smelled until I quit (yikes!) I can watch the whole episode of Desparate Housewives without having to hurry out to the garage for a smoke during a commercial break. I whitened my teeth during week one and they are STILL white! I found this wonderful website- all I have to do is post and people come typing to my rescue!
