14 Months Today!

[Flo]

Quit date - Thursday, May 18, 2006 at 7:00:00 AMTime Smoke-Free: 425 days, 22 hours, 51 minutes and 28 seconds
Cigarettes NOT smoked: 7667
Lifetime Saved: 1 month, 28 days, 13 hours
Money Saved: $4,037.50

While picking up something at the store last night, the woman in front of me purchaed a pack of cigarettes. The cashier said, "That will be $9.50." That used to be me.

While on the elevator yesterday, returning to the office after lunch, two men got on the elevator, reeking of smoke. That used to be me.

For the past week or so, I've been getting these craves and last night was really strong. Then I realized, my anniversary was the next day. I always get strong craves just around my anniversary date. It's like a test, to renew my vow each anniversary.

Thank goodness for this site because most of my friends really are losing interest in the monthly celebration and I really need it. So please, celebrate with me my 14th month anniversary. As they say, we've come a long way baby!

Well baby you have come a long way!
One of the fun things about a quit like this is to imagine all of those unsmoked cigarettes all in a pile before. Yep, that's a lot of smoke.

You look Mahvelous!

$9.50!! The exchange rates between US & CAN are nearly equal.
That's some serious change to kill yourself slowly.

Thanks Slim! You know, it's actually a year ago that I joined this site so it's a double celebration! I'm glad I joined. It's a great site and though it's small, each person is an entity and a friend and I like it.
