1,685 days. 

 

I can't believe I used to smoke.  I was around some smokers today and the smell was horrible.

 

Stick with it if you are early on in your quit.  Things get so much better with time and the freedom is definitely worth any early struggles.

When I started on this journey I loved looking at my ticker and seeing the days add up.....still do! My mom quit July 20 of 1991 and asked me for her stats...so I am reaching out to you @Whispers 

 

How many days would that be for her? 😋

I've been quit for 17 1/2 years, and by a conservative estimate I have not spent  $48,106.50 on cigarettes that I otherwise would have spent during that time.   That's assuming, of course, that I would have survived the widowmaker heart attack and cardiac arrest I experienced (at age 40) seven years AFTER I quit, which every physician I've encountered tells me would not have happened had I still been a smoker.

@Rozuki, if your mom smoked a pack a day (20 cigs), at $3.00 a pack ( I was guessing) and quit July 20, 1991:

@Rozuki  found this and thought it was something you could show your mom the next time you visit her, her awesome stats 😊

Thank you, Jillar!! I am seeing my Mom this Tuesday as we celebrate her 87th birthday at the nursing home/rehab center. She will be impressed with her awesome stats!

 

As per the new NYS Covid-19 rules: We have to show a negative covid test result from W/I last 7 days to visit with her for 1/2 hour. They only allow 2 visitors at a time. There are 5 of us siblings. You do the math!

 

Right after we visit with her, we have to book an appt to visit her next week (only 1 visit per week) then get another covid test and hope there isn't a delay in getting the results back as right now could take 2-6 days for results!!!! I was lucky this time-got my results back in less than 2 days. If you want the rapid test, you have to find a place doing it....and they charge $50 for that even if you have insurance. Such a mess...but we will be bringing cupcakes for all...lemon w/ lemon cake and chocolate w/ yellow cake...Mom's favorites! 🎉😷

14 months since quitting the nicotine gum... that's probably 2145 nicotine delivery devices not chewed.

 

8 months and 8 days since stopping smoking. That's about 2530 poisonous smoking sticks not inhaled.

 

I've probably already saved about $1300 so far.  I think the biggest gains so far have been mental...for instance I no longer experience the indignity of standing outside in the rain to get my fix, feeling like a spectacle or an outcast, or just plain fahREEZIn!

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
