OK, so how about a more realistic goal... on what day will you be quit for 1,000 days? Crave the Quit!

Can't find the right calculaor & no patience to keep looking. By what everyone else has said, I smoked for 31 years so if I live into my early 80's?? that should do it. Absolutely do-able, the cranky women in my family live a long time!

Well.. I smoked for 34 yrs and if I live to be 83 I will not have smoked for 1/2 of my life. That's quite a goal !

Well then, if you want to do this, do an internet search for "calculate days" and the first thing you come up with should be a site that will help you do this. I think this could be fun! And I'd love to see what some of you come up with! :) Crave the Quit!

For a while now, my ultimate goal of quitting will be to be quit for longer than I smoked. I figured out today (with the help of a certain website that calculates days between two dates) that I smoked for 3853 days, which is 10 years, 6 months and 19 days. Therefore, on January 4, 2016, I will be quit for as long as I smoked. OK, I know, that's a LONG time off... but it was fun to calculate! And I'm looking forward to that. Anybody else have a goal similar or different to this? Or, can you calculate how long it will be before you will be quit longer than you smoked? I understand that this might be easier and more realistic for those who are a bit younger, but perhaps coming up with a different goal could be fun too... like on what date will you have been quit for 10,000 days, or even 1,000 days or something like that. Let's see some other calculations! Crave the Quit!
