More than 6 Months & 10,000 Cigs!
Yep, it's been more than 6 months now and over 10,000 cigs since I quit. Here are my up to the minute stats:
I have been smoke free for 6 Months, 2 Weeks, 4 Days, 12 hours and 54 minutes (201 days). I have saved $3,627.67 by not smoking 10,076 cigarettes.
It's not so much the time that has gone by but the number of cigarettes and the money saved. Of course, I haven't really saved that money (I've spent it already on other things), but still, I would have spent more than $3600 on cigarettes in the past 6 months if I hadn't quit. Simply amazing. That and think about laying out the more than 10,000 cigarettes I haven't smoked, end to end. I wonder how far that would go? A LOT of cigarettes to be sure.
Got my I am a Quitter! coffee mug the other day. Looks great! I've already had a couple of people ask me about it. I'm going to get the t-shirt as well I think. When I got the logo created, I wasn't sure how it would look really...well, not until I saw it on something, but I am really happy with the way it turned out. I'm proud to be a quitter and proud to use the mug. If you are interested, you'll find the link to the I am a Quitter! Rewards Store on the right hand side of the Blog here, under links. Grab something for yourself.
Now, if you are just starting out quitting smoking or you've been working through it for a little bit, 6 months most likely seems like an eternity away, but believe me, it went by really fast. I looked up and boom...it had been 6 months. Amazing quite frankly.
Do you want to get to the point where I'm at? Want to celebrate 6 months and thousands of cigarettes not smoked? Then remember one thing...N.O.P.E. Not One Puff Ever. That's the only thing you need to remember. As long as you never take a puff, you'll be fine. You can't have just one puff or just one cigarette. You just can't. Funny thing is, once you get into a month or so quitting, you'll wonder why you ever wanted that puff in the first place. It's just silly.
Now at 6 months, I hardly ever think about it. I remember in the start of all this, thinking about smoking ALL THE TIME. Now, maybe once a day and even those days don't happen very often. You just need to put in the time and you'll wonder why you ever smoked in the first place. Trust me. It gets so much better.
You want to be happy with yourself? You want to get to 6 months with no smoking? Then stop now, if you haven't already, and don't look back. It can be tough at times, I'm not going to lie, but be strong and be proud of doing this for yourself. I am a Quitter! and I'm damn proud of it. You should be to!
Talk again soon...
