I quit on 2 November at noon. So in about 1.5 hour I have not smoked for 4 days. I stopped buying on the 2nd of November and have saved already 62.50 Euro's.
Reason to stop: there was a storm and I could not go outside to smoke. Smoked inside the house but had a visitor in a couple of days. Embarrassing.
Of course the other main reason was there, but it was since I started smoking in 1982: health. My father died at age 50, due to sudden death caused by smoking.
A big reason as well is now the cost. As you can see above it is huge (12.50/day = 87.50/week = 380/month = 4562.5/year) and prices continue to go up and I simply cannot afford it anymore.
Did a lot of reading. Had to reset one time as initially stopped at 30 October but failed at 1 november right after my visitor left.....
I made a list of activities to keep myself busy. But the list is still as long. I am not doing so much extra. Looks like I am more observing myself and my quitting process. Not sure if that is good or bad. Although, the weather is nice and I made yesterday and the day before that an extra long walk with my dog.
Can't see any juice anymore and switched back to 2 pieces of fruit/day between meals.
