Our lives are often a reflection of the choices we have made along the way. I chose to smoke for decades, to the detriment of my health and wealth. Two years ago I chose to quit smoking mostly to stop the harmful effects of smoking on my health. Just recently I took the money I saved from not having to buy cigarettes for just this past year and spent that on a Caribbean Cruise and enriched my life by visiting 5 places I had never been to. This was a consequence I got to choose because I had quit smoking. You may choose something different. Doesn't matter. The point is YOU get to choose the consequence - not your addiction! Didn't hurt that I escaped the bitter cold for a while either. Here's a couple of pics of my trip: Lounging on the Lido Deck At the beach in Tobago Had I chose to continue smoking 2 years ago the best consequence of that choice would have been standing outside in the freezing cold getting my hourly fix. The worst consequence of that choice might have been this? Put the choices for your future back in your hands. Choose to quit for good! There are so many benefits from choosing to quit. Temporary discomfort in the beginning is a small price to pay to get back your freedom!9 points

Had the coolest thing happen last night. I had another smoking dream, but this one went very differently... Usually in my smoking dreams I'm enjoying the heck out of that cigarette, and I wake up feeling simultaneously very guilty and immensely relieved that I didn't actually smoke. Well, in last night's dream, I was excitedly anticipating that first puff, ready to light up, when I suddenly blurted out the word "NOPE!" I have literally never done that in a smoking dream, not even in the 11 years I was quit before. I just said "NOPE," and bam! I woke up. I guess my mindset has really changed! That or this place (and the daily pledge) is starting to infiltrate my dreams. Either way... totally winning!7 points

Fantastic! I smoked my last cigarette 10:30 PM January 5, 2018. I smoked for 37 years. I remember it like it was yesterday. It wasn’t even my brand LOL. It was one I bummed from my wife because I intentionally left mine at home. I chose to quit for more reasons than one. Money was one of them. You’re right, a few days of discomfort is well worth the reward. I chose to purchase some new home entertainment equipment with the money I’ve saved from quitting. Quitting nicotine is by far, hands-down the most significant thing I’ve ever done for myself in this life. Cigarettes did nothing for me. They took away my time, my money and my health.

Over a month now and feeling absolutely super. Done a timed 5k today around the local racecourse. Went and had a bit of food straight after then an hour later did another 2 and a half miles. Stuff like this I would never have been able to do if still addicted to the demon nicotine. I'm starting to look at smokers in a different way aswell. It's a way I've never looked at them in the past when I quit smoking. I used to envy them and hate seeing people smoking because I always wanted to be smoking again. This quit I am now seeing them in a different way. I'm pitying the way they are addicted to nicotine. Pitying the fact they spend so much money. Pitying that they just have to smoke to get the hitnif nicotine. Also looking at vapours in the same way. I see it all now as more an addiction to nicotine than enjoying smoking and that makes this different to me.4 points

Saz is right on the button...no use looking back everyday..... You need to look forward everyday..... All you can do is learn by it ....and never make the same mistake ... We will always be on our guard.....we are addicts ..... Even after 5 years ...I never get complacent..... It would only take one to get me back where I was ....and I haven,t got another 52 years .... Positive attitude .....turn negatives into positives .....2 points
