15. UPDATE. 9/8/12 and still a ex-smoker

Sep 2012

It's been over two months now and I feel great. Not only am I healthier, but I've also saved almost $600 since I quit smoking.

I went from a pack and a half a day to no nicotine all at once. I didn't use any nicotine replacement products. I put on a little weight, but not enough to make me have to buy new clothes, and now the weight is coming off. I don't have cravings now and just about the only time I even think about smoking is when I see someone else doing it, and then my thoughts are along the lines of, "Boy, I'm glad I don't do that anymore."

Every ex-smoker I know always says it's one of the best things they ever did for themselves. Denninmi Sep 2012 #16
