Understading that I am not deprived

Tmrw will be one week of being smoke free!
I've tried to quit a thousand times - sometimes I've even lasted for a year. This time feels different. I thought about looking at it from the perspective of what I am gaining as opposed to what I am losing. I am not deprived and I am not missing out on anything.
Great to hear you, keep it up. You are an inspiration to me, I have planned to attempt to quit smoking in 6 days and am also trying to change my negative thinking to a positive one! We are not losing anything but gaining more money, energy, taste buds and we will not be leppers anymore shunned to outside restaurants, pubs etc.
Keep up the comments, you are helping me.

Thanks! And so glad you find me inspiring! Lol.
I definitely feel I am gaining more day by day. I have saved $46 so far.
I am asking myself:
What does smoking do for me?
Did I actually enjoy it?
The thing I am finding most is that I don't miss that panicky feeling. You know when you are dying for a smoke but maybe you have a meeting or something to do. I just have more time now and less panic!
