.... yes... some of us smoked more than others.... sometimes twice as much.... but the actual number is not important and totally irrelevant as we have all stopped, because we were ALL smoking enough to keep (regardless of how much we smoked) ALL addicted to the drug nicotine... The END (stopping) negates the MEANS (number smoked)!
I agree Steve - it doesn't matter at all how many we USED to smoke. I was wondering how much money we had saved just to remind ourselves that we are not only benefitting our health but also our pockets.
It gives me a bit of a lift to remind myself that I have so far saved £39.00 as I am really struggling for money at the mo! (as is half the country - I know)
I was also wondering how much tax we are NOT giving this government by not buying any.
Just checking in with you, I'm not able to log on as much because I'm working away :rolleyes: just seeing if you're all ok and coping, can't read all up to date posts as I'm surfing on a phone... I'm into week 3, feeling ok ish but missing the forum anyway well done to you all for quitting smoking!!!
Saved £28.70 - most importantly I feel good about myself. I am proud I have got this far - my milestone was last night, meeting friends who smoked and I got through it - it didn't bother me! Oh I hope I am not being smug and due for a fall!
Sorry, I've never joined a forum before so if I get it wrong apologies in advance. I gave up on 5th January after over 30 years of smoking. I am hoping I can still count that I am into week 3 and am on day 15, I lapsed at a party on Saturday and smoked 2 cigarettes, nothing since. At 20 a day I reckon I have not smoked 300 cigarettes and saved £76.50
I have been quit for 11 Months, 1 Day, 21 hours, 1 minute and 43 seconds (336 days). I have saved £1,684.37 by not smoking 6,737 cigarettes. I have saved 3 Weeks, 2 Days, 9 hours and 25 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 17/02/2008 22:00
.....OK .......where has my £1684.37 gone??????????? lol :rolleyes:
