It has been 9 months, 19 days, 15 hours. Sometimes I forget that I smoked, but I still enjoy standing next to someone that is smoking. I am amazed that I have no desire to smoke at all. I smoked 2 packs a day for about 23 years. But I gained about 35 pounds when I quit and it became so hard to lose weight and thats how I found my new way of eating.
