I’m not positive of the actual date but I think November 9th was the first day without a smoke. My Dr. told me to give it a year then go treat myself with the savings. I hope the Mrs. will agree. Either way, I’m glad to have that monkey off my back.

I know from experience it’s not an easy year. Great work!

Please post the pics of the high end guns you bought with the savings. Good for you! LOL

I haven’t had a Camel since I walked down the gangplank of the USS Truxton coming home from the Gulf on December 24, 1973. It was a great early Christmas present.

Keep up the good work.

Congratulations. Stay with it. I had my last cigarette April 2001 and never looked back. Treat yourself to something nice.

Good for you! I'm sure it was a difficult decision and subsequent follow-through, but I suspect you are reaping the benefits.

Congratulations! Hard part is over.
I will say a prayer for you to keep that monkey at bay and for your health. God bless.

Good for you. I quit April 2 of 71. I have saved many thousands of dollars. I told my wife I was going to buy a Corvette and she told me I pissed it away.

Way to go! Don’t ever forget - you can never ever have just one for old times sake.

Awesome. Congrats.

Awesome work bro. Congrats. I am currently 310 days without and damn proud.

I’m proud if you fit making it a year. Many more smoke free years to come brother!

Good work, just never cave in and have " just one smoke". Quiiting tobacco is very hard to do, but I am glad you have made it this far .

You don't need cigaretes.

I smoked from age 16 till age 52. Heavy smoker the last couple of years. In 2003' when I was first diagnosed with cancer, the doctor told me I had to quit smoking. I did, never to smoke again.

Imagine, finding out you had cancer, qutting smoking, starting chemo treatments in the same week.

Bad, bad, bad.

I have never wanted another cigarette, and regret the years I was addicted to them, and exposed other people to my second hand smoke.

Someone should have taken a aseball bat to me for that.. :-)

Here's to your health!
So what gun(s) are you going to buy after the year is up?

It is a tough thing to stop.
Good for you. After 6 months I found that I just felt better.

Congrats!

It’ll be two years in March since I’ve been off Copenhagen. I chewed a can a day for 15+ years. Hardest thing I’ve ever done was quitting that crap. A month of absolute inner-hell and misery.

Just remember: ODAAT — one day at a time.

It really is amazing how powerful nicotine is.

45 days for me.

That is awesome! Congratulations to you. It’s a hard habit to break.

Good for you! Very smart decision.

Well done, sir. One year after quitting smoking, a person's risk for coronary heart disease decreases by half. This risk will continue to drop past the 1-year mark
