1 Year smoke free today

I can't believe after 35 years of smoking that at noon today I am 1 year smoke free. Ironically, I did not plan to quit. On Oct 14th last year I got the mail and we had received a HUGE premium increase on our health insurance because my husband and I were smokers. I said "I am not paying that, I quit". And I did. I never smoked another cigarette, I didn't smoke a "good bye" cig, I didn't make a big deal out of it, in fact I told no one. I just quit. I am very proud of myself. YEAH me!

Yeah wow. Well done. Im smoke free 25 days. Has been ok. Im taking Champix. So I think it would be way easier for me than cold turkey.
Im still thinking about it, 3 -4 times a day. Dont think I will have one. Does it get easier the longer you stay away from them. Would be good to not have those moments.

That's amazing.. well done and congratulations.. Day one for me is tomorrow after 30 years of smoking... cant stand the cost or the smell.. its disgusting !!
Good on you, you deserve to be proud of yourself :-)
