8 Months - WOW!

Thought since I mentioned the I am a Quitter! coffee mug last time, I would post a pic of it. It looks great and I enjoy using it with my coffee, as it always reminds me of what I have accomplished. Not to mention that drinking coffee is a trigger for many people, so having this mug right in front of you certainly helps keep your resolve :-)

Now onto the important stuff of updating you as to where I am currently with my stats and how it feels to date.

My current stats:

I have been smoke free for 8 Months, 1 Day, 13 hours and 1 minute (246 days). I have saved $4,437.76 by not smoking 12,327 cigarettes.

Yep...that's 8 whole months. Won't be long before a year is upon me. It really does start to go quite fast and you do not think about it much as you go along, especially when you start to get up into numerous months quit. Look at that number of cigarettes not smoked...over 12,000! Is that not incredible? I can't imagine smoking that many cigarettes. I've almost saved $4500 as well. Well, I didn't put it aside and save it, but I've been able to purchase other things along the way and not worry about wasting all that money on something that would be killing me.

So my advice today would be to keep in mind that while at the start and early stages of stopping smoking it may seem very hard and almost impossible to do, it isn't and it gets so much easier as you go along. Imagine looking forward to being 8 months quit...how about that magic ONE WHOLE YEAR. Can you imagine being one year quit? If you recently quit, then no, I'm sure you cannot, but have faith. It gets so much easier and you will be so proud of yourself, as I am right now. You have that to look forward to. Be strong and stay the course because it is so worth it. I am living proof of that and I am laying it right on the line now...do it. You will not regret stopping smoking, nor will it be as hard as it may seem right now, for very long.

If you have recently quit or you have some stats you would like to share, leave a comment or better yet, visit the forum on the right hand side links and post your milestone. I would love to hear from you either way. Talk to you soon!
