10-years Cig Free

Forums:

With the birth of my daughter, i decided to kick the cigs to the curb. 

For those that have given up this wretched habit, i salute you! 

For those still trying to quit, don't give up- you can do it! 

Congratulations.  I kicked the habit for 9 months for the first attempt ever.  Unfortunately picked them back up on holidays recently.

Congratulations lassen!

cigarettes are filthy, deadly, expensive, smelly and generally disrespectful to yourself and everyone around you. 

Amazing that more smokers haven’t realized this yet.

Congrats.  That shit killed my granddad.  Smoked like a chimney until his death (even after losing a lung to mustard gas in WWI).

Well done.   I know many of people that would like to and never do.   

My father in law kept smoking until the day he died.   It was hard to watch. 

1550 days quit

31,000 unsmoked cigs @ $8.00 per pack = $12,400 saved.

I like food now and have gained some weight but worth it!

Good on ya.  21 yrs here.

Your lungs are saying "thank you" every day.

Good for you (and even better for everyone in your corner). 

I just got to 10 months earlier this week.

An unrelated health issue forced my hand - but I am grateful and thankful at this point. My surgeon gave me pics of what my stomach looked like after an ulcer burst and blew a 2 inch hole through it at the start of January. I decided right then that I needed to make sure I don't get similar pictures of my lungs in the future.

Well done everyone who has proved to themselves they can do it. 

Congratulations!

I'm coming up on 3 or 4 years. I'm not big on keeping dates and anniversaries. It must be 4 years.

Congratulations to everyone who has pulled it off. It's work.

I quit only once, 28 years ago after smoking for ~30 years. January 28, 1992. Greg quit then, too. Living without smoking tobacco is way more fun.

When I started smoking cigarettes were 25¢ a pack. I don't remember what they cost in 1992.

 

Will be 20 years in december for me.

Awesome 

and happy birthday to your daughter, best present you ever gave her was 10 years ago

 

 

live that life

16 years cig-free here

 

congrats to all for ditching cancer sticks...best life decision I ever made

Good job!

Heartfelt congratulations to all who have kicked the habit! 

I feel lucky to have resisted the peer pressure to indulge in the practice.

Best of luck to those still struggling.
