Nearly 2 years since I stopped smoking.

[ClaireP1973]

Thought I'd check in to say hello and that for all you newbies, it does get easier - the first week is awful, the first few months are too!  After about 8 or 9 months, I got a liberating feeling and now I no longer have cravings and rarely think about it.  I do occasionally have dreams where I am smoking and then wake up and think - phew!

 

On 18 April at 11.20am, I will be 2 years quit!

 

Keep at it you lot!

Hi - I have just checked my Smoke Free app on my phone (which I would highly recommend!) and it says the following:

 

Time smoke free:  1 year, 11 months and 21 days

Money saved:  £11,891 or £6022 per year

Cigarettes not smoked:  21,620 - it's this figure that freaks me out!

Life regained:  180 days

Time spent not smoking:  75 days

 

You can all do this!

Claire

Congratulations on nearly two years quit Claire, and thanks for the update and positive words for our newbies

Your time spent not smoking is very interesting. It really adds up doesn't it?

Congrats on 2 years smoke free  

 

It really is amazing how all that slavery to nicotine then all the angst from quitting just melts away with time leaving us exactly where we want to be - non smokers for life

Great job Claire.

 

Freedom ages like wine.  Savor the flavor.

When I see how many people haven't smoked it really shocks me. 

 

Congratulations on a great quit.
