Day 41 no smoking and Day 7 of no nicotine/patch. I'm still hanging in there still not smoking. **** still isn't fun and I still think smoking a ciggarette would be fantastic but I know just one smoke is all it would take for me to be back to a pack a day. Why can't the things I really like be healthy for you lol. I'm also pretty sure if I smoked a cigarette right now I would get a massive headache and puke my guts up so I'm not going down that path.

55 days of no smoking!
21 days of no nicotine!

I'm glad I wrote down all the reasons I wanted to quit smoking. Amazing how in such a relatively short period of time you can forget why you did something and could use a little reminder. I was not having a good day yesterday and came realllllllly close to falling off the wagon but thankfully I carry this list with me in my wallet.

Cool, cool.

My biggest reason, and I carry it with me to this day, was that I didn't miss waking up like this...

Okay so I had been smoking for the past 10 years. Cigarette prices varied through the years but I'm going estimate the average cost for a pack of smokes to be $4.00, I lived in SC for a while they were like $2 a pack down there and the highest price I regularly paid here was about $6.25. I didn't always smoke a pack a day for 10 years but for simplicity reasons we will just say that I did. In the past 10 years I've thrown away about $15,512.50 on smokes. That number blows my mind, wish I had that to help put towards a down payment on a house...

Its been a while and I havent thought much about smoking recently so this thread kind of died off which is technically a good thing. Anyway just an update for the hell of it, I'm still holding strong and on day 74 of no smoking!
