[img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Congratulations!!!!

Assuming you smoked 1 pack a day for 5 months at about $10CAN/pack you saved about $1400CAN.

You could buy yourself a new computer.

I smoked a pack a day. Prices have actually gone down since I quit, but I was paying $25US per carton, that's $75 per month. By quiting, I've been able to pay for my wife and myself to join the local fitness center and still pocket $5 per month. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Today marks 5 months nicotine free. I smoked my last cigarette on May 17th. [img]graemlins/smokybounce.gif[/img]

Damn good man! It's a hard habit to break! I am cutting down slowly, and will be clean soon as well. It's a dirty, NASTY habit--oh yeah, it kills too. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Any kids here thinking of smoking because 'cool' kids do it, DON'T guys. It does nothing but kill people. My mom died from it.

Hang in there Ron, and good going!!

Way to go!

Ziroc and Stormy, just keep at it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Congrats and good luck to you all! I was never a serious smoker, but I quit a while ago. I know that it's something each person has to decide to do; well-intentioned "support" from others doesn't help if you're not interested.

Best of luck to you all on the continued journey. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Timber Loftis · 10-17-2003, 04:33 PM

Damn, now I want a cigarette. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

Hey, Ronn, sending your wife to the health club will lead to more enjoyment for you in the end, now won't it?

Aelia Jusa · 10-17-2003, 04:34 PM

Congratulations Ronn! That's a fantastic effort. I also think it's great that you're congratulating yourself - it always make a victory much sweeter when you feel personally fulfilled [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sush!

You're going to ruin the whole "I did it for my health" facade.
