My potential new boyfriend doesn't smoke & I don't think I could have hooked him if I did. Also, I sleep SO much better with no wheezing when I lie down. And like Anna said, all my new best friends! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/13/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 30 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 600 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $330.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 45 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25

I like myself better ....even after having a bad day.

Yes on the laughing without coughing, Anna! And while lying down, and while sleeping. And the walking without huffing and puffing I like that I don't have to try to cover up the smell when I see clients. I really like that I don't get out of the water to have a smoke when I'm bodyboarding [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 82 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,280 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $557.60 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 22 [B]Seconds:[/B] 41

I like: Not smelling like an ashtray. Breathing better. Not having to sneak one at work. Feeling better about myself.

I think that we all need a boost. My best positve aspects of quitting I can walk up stairs at work without stopping and huffing for breath. I used to have to stop on the landings; now I trot up the three flights. It truly is amazing! What an immediate difference! Learning to know myself as a "non drug addict". This can be scary! But, we do have to face ourselves and learn to love ourselves again. Okay, what are your most positve aspects of being nicotine free?
