310 days smoke and nicotine free. No more

Bunged up chest

Green balls

Stinking clothes

Sneaking out for a drag

Buying dozens of cigarretes

Smelly breath

Being told its disgusting

Condescending looks

Bronchitis

Wheezing

Putting cigarette out with shoe and trailing black marks on people's carpets

Telling fibs to the doctor

Yellow fingers

Yellow teeth

Changing clothes three times a day

Emptying ashtray in the car

Risking life and limb dropping cigarette in the car

Being disgusted with myself

Telling people I've really cut down when I haven't

Driving to a 24/7 garage in the early hours

Looking for butts to smoke

Panicking when only 1 left

Flicking lighted butt in the wrong direction.

Being the odd one out at a meal and disappearing at least three times.

Wasting thousands of pounds

Planning to give up but don't.

FREEDOM.

Great post Dobbin. Well done on getting close to the milestone I am striving for. I'm not as close to the year as you (257 days) but the excitement is there that this time I have done it. I hope you have something special planned with all the money you have saved.

Great post. Good to reflect on all those good reasons when, even a long way down the track, I still miss it.

Congratulations on a significant achievement.
