Quit Milestones

12 years ago 0 +0 / -0 39

Hi,

This thread caught my attention. I told myself that the next time I would ever inhale cigarette smoke again is if I was bed-ridden, on my last legs, and about to croak

. Not joking, I would like my last breath on earth inhaling a deep breath of cigarette smoke.

Working On It It's pretty well guaranteed that after 15 years you won't want one. Excellent for you. breather

I've been having sneaky little relapse fantasies today, for some reason. So I told myself that I am allowed to relapse when all of my risk factors are similar to that of a non smoker. So, after 15 years, if I still want a cigarette, I can have one.

In the meantime, I'm thinking that 10,000 cigarettes will be a nice shorter term milestone. 500 days and 1000 days should be fun, too.

Hi Ashley.The milestone I am looking forward to is the 1 year.I have it in my head that at 1 year I will have gone through all my triggers

and I will have won the battle.I know I will still have to be on gaurd but I am hoping it will be less.

Gaining a whole year of life like breather would be wonderful as well.

I don't want to get to far ahead with this quit. My milestones right now is a day smoke free. In a week I will make it to the boat and that is huge for me. So I will take another day smoke free and happy with that.

Breather!!! Doesn't seem possible, but I am so darn happy for you.

Keep the Quit

Hello Ashley Since you ask there are a couple of milestones that I'm really looking forward to. The first is 365 days of theoretical life gained. I know it's just theoretical but it's like being granted an extra year of life. It seems like the time is moving at high speed as I get older so an extra year would be a good present. The second is 100,000 cigarettes not smoked. That should be sometime next year. It's not that I'm proud of being such a heavy smoker back then because I'm not. So yeah , one year of life gained and 100,000 not smoked. These two are important to me. I'm interested to see what the others deem important. breather
