Today I went into the store where I usually buy cigarettes. The owner out of habit picked up my brand of cigarettes and placed it on the counter. It was tempting but oh so wonderful to say, "Not today, I don't smoke anymore." He smiled and said, "Good for you." That was another first for me. I resisted! I didn't come home with a pack of cigarette. I came home with a big smile! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/3/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 3 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 150 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $54.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 40 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5

My first Superbowl Party smoke-free. It's really interesting to watch the current smokers go outside during commercials. I counted, they went out 4 times from the time the game began and when it was over.

I can't really say it was my first since this is not the first time I quit... but I remember this past year having my first flight where I was itching to get outside for a cigarette and then once I quit a few months after that feeling a huge relief for not having that desperate feel anymore. It made me feel so much better :).

I only have 2 days quit and hope to have many more but - My first is that I didn't have a cigarette while driving my car. It's not much of a first but it makes me smile! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/3/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 2 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 100 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $36.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 6 [B]Seconds:[/B] 34
