Good for you! When I quit, the patch and quitnet.com really helped me. The patch gave me the extra willpower to make it through and quitnet.com has (at least it did at the time) a timer that kept track of exactly how long I had made it without smoking right now to the second — kind of like a stopwatch in reverse. I wish you luck, you will be so much better off with cigarettes.

Update: Just checked and quitnet still has the counter thing. Highly recommend you join. It’s free and the counter showing progress is very motivating.

I just logged into to quitnet and here are my stats. I quit in 2004 and my login still worked and the stats are still running!

My Stats:
Your Quit Date is: 1/8/2004 6:45:00 PM
Time Smoke-Free: 2193 days, 22 hours, 3 minutes and 56 seconds

Cigarettes NOT smoked: 87757
Lifetime Saved: 22 months, 10 days, 8 hours
Money Saved: $15,358.00
My Med Plan: Nicotine Patch

I can’t believe I saved over $15,000!

Let’s just say I am ready to quit smoking. It’s no longer a desire but a crutch a nagging aching crutch. One I need to start my day, end my day get me through the day. The smell it’s in my clothes, in my car in my hair on my skin and draining my purse.

I’m ready I’m in a way slowing down less smokes a day. I am going to take it one day ay a time though. I prefer saving my money to cancer any day

On Tuesday evening of this last week I suddenly became quite ill. Headache – fever – hacking cough and I knew exactly what this was. Bronchitis. I suffer from this several times a year. But this time it seemed so bad it was almost like it was combined with flu. It proper knocked me off my feet and I was in bed for two days. During this time I could not smoke nor did I feel like I wanted to despite I was used to smoking in excess of 50 hand-rolled ciggy’s a day. I had an idea. A perfect time to quit. My illness has almost gone I feel much better and I am on day 4 without a ciggy and I am determined to never smoke ever again. I want to do it and that gives me the insentive to succeed. I am 48 and I started smoking at the very young age of 11. That’s a shocking 37 years of my life smoking leaving just 11 childhood years smoke free. I have enough will-power and like so many others I too will succeed to give up smoking. Good luck to everyone who want’s to quit.
