Thirteen years, 59 minutes and 57 seconds. 237402 cigarettes not smoked, saving $20,772.68. Life saved: 2 years, 13 weeks, 5 days, 7 hours, 30 minutes.
I was a 2 plus pack-a-day smoker for over 20 years. I reached the point where I was disgusted with myself and finally quit.
I'm sad to see the board this slow, but I guess people are finding support elsewhere.
To the 5 or so lurkers out there, someday please feel free to post. No question is stupid, no concern unfounded. We're here to help.

I keenly remember meters measured in hours.
And then something magical happens during the marathon...the meter keeps going along with you.
*nice seeing you again MK*

Well its going on five years or so for me. I am reminded that before I quit, I could not imagine being free of cigarettes and that in the early stages of my quit, I would just hang on minute by minute, crave by crave. I am reminded that in the early stages of my quit, I had to fight not going crazy eating to stem the craves. Yet here I am. Little by little, crave by crave, I made it and have been transformed by the journey. Quitting gives you will power and stamina and those characteristics serve yiu well in life. And not smoking gives you breath, blessed breath and the calmness which comes from breathing. And great skin which comes from all the oxygen you are breathing. And energy and confidence and pride. And gratitude for bring given this new life. Keep the quit my friends.
