What's the next big quit milestone you're looking forward to?*

 

Mine:

Soon after I quit I put a reminder on my cell phone that on October 17, 2017 at 7 AM I will be one million minutes smoke free.  Seemed like a big deal in the early days of my quit when I was struggling to get through each and every minute. Glad those days are long gone!

 

Okay....it's your turn.  It can be time quit, number of cigs avoided, money saved, etc.

The milestones I focused on up til now were:

1 day

1 week

2 weeks

1 month

3 months

6 months

 

All those have been achieved and some of that time wasn't easy nor did I know whether I could make them or not at times :unsure:

 

My next one is 1 full year :D It's still a long way off for me yet but for some reason, 7,8,9, 10 & 11 months just holds no special meaning to me. I'm going for the holy grail in quitting - dream big ;)

After hitting the one-year mark, I don't really think in terms of milestones anymore.  Although...I do glance at my ticker from time-to-time and like seeing the money saved.  Over $4,000 that didn't literally go up in smoke.  That helps the cause a bit.

I do look forward to hitting the 6 month and 1 year marks, which seem distant but achievable if I hold on to my "personal commitment to never take another puff ".  The most coveted milestone for me is living a full day without once thinking about smoking.  I hope this will happen one day and that it will be followed by strings of days when I won't have a single thought about cigarettes or smoking. Am I reaching too high?  Maybe...but this is my wish.

I still focus on every year. The rest of the numbers don't mean so much anymore.

 

Early days it was days, weeks, months, a year but also 10,000 cigs not smoked was a massive big deal to me. I wonder if it's because I'd seen an image of that many cigs in a glass cage and thought it utterly obscene.

I buy myself a super duper awesome present each anniversary. Every minute counts. Whether you measure it by minute, month or year.

 

Me too!  I don't really need the reward any more ...  I just like to buy myself presents :d

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.
