Today marks 2 months since I became a non-smoker, and what a lifestyle change it has been for me. Thinking back to the difficult first days and weeks, it was all worth it to finally be free of the addiction of smoking.
I still have my moments where I think about smoking, or get a real good full on craving, but now I am not at the mercy of the addiction. I choose not to smoke and that is a commitment I need to make every day. Not One Puff Ever.
Thinking back to many prior quit attempts, I just felt different about going into this quit. I was committed to do it this time. I kept looking for the positives, rather than what I thought I was missing. It helped once I started to feel some positive physical improvements such as breathing better. You never realize how much smoking sucks out of you until you quit.
I look at my Dashboard stats and am amazed to see how much smoking was costing me:
Savings: $830.72
Days Smoke-Free: 59
Cigarettes Not Smoked: 1298
Life saved: 9 days 21 hours 58 minutes
