   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

   Way to go atp!!!
   
   You've tackled this addiction head on, and shown it who's in charge.  You're beating the addiction down one day at a time.  Your willpower is commendable.
   
   And in the process, you've given so much support to this forum.
   
   You truly deserve this.

   Efreeman,
   
   You know, I received a lot of support through the early days of my quit, and I feel a need to do the same to the next quitter in line. 
   
   The difference between this quit and past quits was that I wasn't missing smoking this time.

    $800+ not up in smoke and 1200 cigarettes definitely motivating! Keep it up!

    Thanks everyone for your support. As my support team you all helped me out in so many ways. And It feels good to be part of everyone else's support team as well. 
    
    To celebrate I am going to the bicycle show today to check out the new gear. Might get myself one of those tight bicycle shorts, so as to push myself to lose some weight before summer.
