July 26, 20215 yr Good morning everyone! I haven't been on here since March, but I wanted to give everyone an update. I quit smoking on January 29th, 2021 and I am STILL smoke free! This coming Friday, I will be exactly 6 months smoke free. I'm truly excited about this. According to the app I have, I have saved about $1,153.10 USD so far, I have not smoked 3,548 cigarettes, and gained 44.5 days of life! I still have not had a single craving since the day that I quit. I don't understand it, but I'm so not going to question it. I have also spent time with 4 different friends that are smokers (2 at a time) and we hung out outside and they chained smoked. The most recent being this past Saturday. It smelled disgusting and I had to do my laundry when I got home because everything reeked to high heaven, but I never had a craving! To everyone just beginning their quite journey, you can absolutely do it! Stick with it and resist any urges you have to pick up a cigarette! Just keep reminding yourself why you quit in the first place. For me, it was definitely anxiety and covid related. I got severe, debilitating anxiety out of nowhere in December and part of that was fear of getting covid and dying. Since the pandemic is still a very real and current thing, I have absolutely no problem reminding myself why I quit. So find your reason, post reminders so it's always in your face, whatever helps. You got this!!! Edited July 26, 20215 yr by Amy R.

It's been a lot easier than I thought it would be and I'm definitely glad for that. If I could apply the same mindset to my job...life would be golden. LOL
