Thank You So Much

Wow I am amazed.  I went to the store to get some lunch and paid at the courtesy desk where they also sell cigarettes and was Shocked at the price since my quit.  In 2019 when I quit I was paying $6.79 for a pack and today the price is up to $9.79.  If I was still smoking I would be paying close to $20.00 since I would buy 2 pack per day.

Thank You Ex Community; I could not have done these 3+ years without you and all of my supportive friends here.

Hugs,

 Ralph

That’s great!  You are doing great!  I haven’t smoked in a week and you are an inspiration to me.  If you can make it, I feel like I can too.

The price is Outrages. Another reason for quitting ♥️

I am so glad to hear people actually quit and how good they feel. I am an ex ex smoker who picked up the habit about 2-3 years ago. I am trying to quit again now but this time seems a bit harder for some reason. I am struggling to put the vape pen down. I haven’t made it through a full day without giving in😞. BUT , I have patches, lozenges, and gum ohhh and toothpicks! They seems to all help in combination most of the time. I’m not giving up trying to quit without a fight. I’m ready and determined but sometimes give in..

Congratulations @@Ralph1955 That's great 

Money is one of the reasons I quit, was spending $425 a month on those nasty things.

Only on day 10 here but stories like this keep me motivated.
