So, I'm now one month nicotine-free

I smoked my last cigarette the evening of August 31, went cold turkey, so yeah, it’s been a month. I got past the withdrawals weeks ago, but I still often find myself wanting a cigarette.

I just have to remind myself of how much money I’m saving, besides the health benefits. I figure I was smoking at least $10 worth of cigarettes per day, considering Marlboros are over $8/pack where I live, so I’ve saved at least $300 so far. That’s a lot of money for me.

Good job. My dad quit smoking this year after about fifty years. He fell out of a tree and punctured his lung. The doctor said that he survived because he had quit smoking. It saved his life.

Keep it up! Smoking makes no sense.

Excellent that you broke the back of the initial nicotine withdrawal! Well done!

Think of the things you hate about smoking! The breath, the smell, the sickly feeling of having too much and remember them to stop you going back.

Don’t be tempted to suck on the cancerous teat ever again. :slight_smile:

Congratulations. When I quit 13 years ago it was only after 4 months that I truly felt the stronghold of cigarettes on my mind and lungs gave way. I never looked back. I’ve got so much freedom as a nonesmoker now.

You’ve already done the hard work. Just ride out the wave and you’re good.

Congrats! I know how hard it is to quit but it’s not as hard as the cancer or death that comes from it. I quit 14 months ago and I believe that was one of the best decisions I ever made.

What the heck was your dad in a tree for? Lol

All kidding aside, that’s a good accomplishment.

He’s seventy six and was on a ladder cutting down a tree. He’s like that. :roll_eyes:

I don’t especially like cleaning.

I have a lot less cleaning to do now that I don’t smoke.
