So true.

Today makes 196 days smoke free. I actually scowled at some folks smoking and crowding the entrance to a wrestling tournament this past weekend.

The biggest health thing I notice is that my skin has a healthy glow and my eyes are getting more blue (my wife said they had faded quite a bit, I don't know if it's scientific but hey, I'll go with it).

When you can stop counting, you'll be home free.

Chris, GOOD ON YOU MAN!

I congratulate you and commend you on a job well done, I also wish you continued success. How long had you smoked? Like 20 years or something right? You have done a tremendous job sir, please please please please, for you and your family and friends, KEEP IT GOING!

HDHNTER · 10 January 2012, 03:28 PM

Congrats!!

davestan · 10 January 2012, 03:29 PM

Well done!!
Eventual success in kicking the habit is often related to continued attempts to give up. So even if you fall back into the arms of the sticks of death, refocus and try to give up again, and again......(as long as it takes)

axxeman01 · 10 January 2012, 10:39 PM

Yes, 25 years I smoked prior. A looong time!

TheVTCGuy · 11 January 2012, 12:32 AM

Hey Chris, do you still use that iPhone app? I'd be really interested to see the numbers now.

eric23 · 11 January 2012, 02:13 AM

Eric, I sincerely wish you luck and strength as you begin your journey to improved health. I was never a smoker, so don't speak from experience, but I can only imagine what a difficult time it must be for you. Keep on it man!

And keep us posted on your progess!

Switched from iphone to droid, so updates are manual now:

Today is day 247 of not smoking. That's $1,563 saved @ 6.33 a pack, and 4,940 cigarettes not smoked.

I've also lost all 25lbs I gained and then some. Hurray! Remember, if I can do it anyone can, check out Alan Carr's 'The Easy Method' if interested. As far as the weight loss I switched to light beer and am walking religiously an hour a day.

- Chris

jacobl@ · 1 March 2012, 04:47 AM

Congrats! You'll also find that food tastes a lot better too!
Quit 10yrs ago myself after smoking for 10, feels great to have passed that milestone.

Congrats on 247 days without a smoke.

I have been doing good so far, I had to stay away from the pub for a few months but now I can have a few beers without any issues.

FNFZ4 · 1 March 2012, 07:49 AM

There is a LIVESTRONG MyQuit App. Free very helpful. I have not have a smoke in 10 months.

joleel7 · 1 March 2012, 12:52 PM

I quit since 2004 and I do that for my daughter and my health too now I think about it. I lost count how many days since I have my last

axxeman01 · 13 April 2012, 06:25 PM
