Six Months Smoke Free

Just the other day I reached the six month, 26 week, one half a year mark being totally smoke and tobacco free!

I've now gone more than 185 days with out a cigarette -- and that's over 5400 cigarettes and nearly $1,200 saved!

Think about this ... that means I used to smoke over ten-thousand (10,000) a year! Yikes! When you think about it as a pack and a half a day it doesn't sound nearly that voluminous.

In a recent conversation I was explaining how the cravings aren't nearly what they were five and half months ago. Even coming from what has to be one of the most tobacco friendly cities in the U.S., New Orleans, I have to say I have been able fight off all nicotine cravings without much discomfort.

I've quit smoking so many times in the past -- many times for lent, 40 days or longer -- but I'm not confident I can remember how long my second longest time has really been. If not six months, darn close.

However, I have one goal to reach and then a new one to top it off with. Goal one: go one entire year completely tobacco free -- I'm half way there! My newly established Goal Two: Make 2010 completely smoke free.

I continue to try to live up to the name of this Blog:
