4 months... and counting

Wow! Today it's exactly 4 months ago since I quit smoking! I can't believe how fast these 4 months have gone by, but I'm thrilled to know I still didn't even take one puff. 4 Months ago no one I knew could imagine me without my cigarette, not even myself. I actually didn't think I would make it, but I did. After about a month, I didn't even miss the cigarettes anymore. Sure, occasionaly I get these cravings, but they are so few they don't matter.

The longest period I've been without cigarettes (except of course the 15 years before I began smoking) has been 4 months and something. I can't remember exactly, so I decided to take it safe, and declare 5 months as my personal record. Nevertheless, I feel very proud right now already!

Think of all the money I've saved, at least 160 Euro's per month. Think of all the food I can actually taste since I gave up smoking. Think of how fast a swimmer I've become since quitting. The only downside to not smoking is the fact that I'm eating too much, but that can be stopped. All in all, it feels great!
