I am FREE - 90 Days, 2,168 Hours, 130,092 Minutes, 7,805,550 Seconds (Give or Take)!!!
My health:
My circulation should be greatly improved. The same is true for the texture and color of my gums.
Any coughing and wheezing has improved by roughly 65% so far. The weird thing is that I never really had ANY coughing and my lungs sounded great with no wheezing!
Money saved so far: A little over $1,057 (and I am actually putting this money into a savings account for a rainy day).
Cigarettes NOT smoked: 2,710
Life regained (in days): 22
Time spent NOT smoking (days): 9
Cravings - I haven't really had any, but know to watch out for them.
I have had more habitual thoughts recently and it gets bad after meals, when I feel like I need to get away from a situation, or after I worked very hard at something and want to "reward" myself. What keeps me strong is positive self-talk. I tell myself I don't do that anymore! I don't EVER want to go back to Day ONE! I don't ever want to lose all of these days WON I have built up and start over! It really does work. The thing is, these are passing thoughts and don't occupy too much of my time, but when they hit, I am not caught off-guard per se, but bothered these thoughts even enter my head.
Weight Lost since quitting: NONE! I got my eating back on track and have begun to exercise more.
