I see some of you have those timers for how long you have been quit and calculators for how much money you have saved from quitting....how do i get one of those???
I have been quit for 2 Months, 1 Week, 4 Days, 3 hours, 9 minutes and 53 seconds (72 days). I have saved $917.07 by not smoking 937 cigars. I have saved 3 Days, 6 hours and 5 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 10/6/2011 11:50 AM
wow i can't believe how soon i reach $300.00 saved.
crazy. guess you can tell i am money motivated with this quit, part of it is, since starting college the first time (long story) i haven't really been able to buy family members the gifts i wanted to. I have always been strapped for cash....
since quitting i have almost fully caught up with everything, i have bought christmas presents ( personally i believe ten days late on my fifteen dollar credit card payment is fine if it means buying a gift for someone for christmas), i am planning a trip to see my family this spring, and i have bought groceries.
i have better things to spend my money on and the money part is areally big motivator for me in quit. and all the things i can spend my earnings on instead of burning plant material packed with addictive chemical compounds and poisons that end up adding tons to waste materials and (although i broke myself of this habit) tend to end up as trash on roadsides. neat fact i learned years ago: over half the TONAGE of roadside waste is in the form of cigarette butts.....can you imagine that? butts aren't that heavy and especially compared to trash bags, fast food waste, animal carcasses, etc. it's amazing to think over half the weight of roadside trash is butts. sick smokers. ....and you gotta hate it when you see things like i have seen, strolling through the walmart parking lot when you all of sudden smell the stench of wet, old, beer soaked butts, you turn your head in the direction the stench is wafting from and you see an empty parking space with a small mound of butts deposited what would have been right outside of the driver's door onto the pavement. ----i always think: for one, i think i would've rather it been a dirty diaper, and two, how inconsiderate someone should think of the world as an extension of their ashtray, any place is as good as the ashtray of their car to dispose of their butts.
quitting smoking ----helping clean the air, cleaning our bodies, and helping keep the planet clean and mother nature green.....now, on to sewer run-off (((((((super-hero dun-dun-nuh!!!)))))
LOL, you seem to be having a good time and that's ok. When I first quit I would put the cash I would normally spend on smoking in the place where I used to keep my smokes. It added up fast and it was a great motivator. It cost a lot of money to be a nicotine junkie. Keep moving forward.
