What a difference 6 weeks makes...

Morning Gang!

So today marks the end of my 6th week smoke free, 42 smoke free days, 631 death sticks not smoked, and about £18 saved.

I like statistics and comparisons, so here are a couple for you. Each roll-up is 70mm long, if you stacked up the 631 I haven’t smoked over the last 6 weeks, that would be almost as tall as the Statue of Liberty (not including the base) or almost the entire length of an Olympic sized Swimming pool!!

Since stopping smoking I have been trying to treat my body to healthier lifestyle after punishing it for all these years. Obviously stopping smoking has huge benefits to your health but I have also started to eat healthy and do a little more exercise.

So in reality, I have stopped smoking, replaced crisps, chocolate etc with fruit and go jogging a couple of times a week. I feel healthy, my lungs feel stronger and I have lost 6lbs in weight and am just generally happy about myself and my life.

I could never go back to smoking, I have just one regret... I wish I had never started smoking in the first place. Obviously there is nothing I can do to change the past, but the power is mine to chose what I do with this present moment which also shapes my future.

I hope you are all still doing well and are starting to feel good about yourselves

Cheers Kat! Yes I am very pleased with myself

Thanks Teflon, do not let the price fool you. I used to pay £6 for 50g pouch of Golden Virginia. So £18 actually amounts 3 x 50g pouches. So 200 approx roll-ups per 50g pouch.

Well done Craig, you've really *got* this now and it's fab!!

Worked it out for me, and if you put all the 2113 fags I haven't smoked (it's more but I put 20 a day in my app) they'd be 1.1 miles long :eek:

In other news, Marlboro have posted a profit warning

Edit: just checked the app to make sure I'd got the right numbers, and it's gone up one more - scary!!
