This BLOWS me away....

So, I am at work today....and my one coworker smokes...um alot--welll, she and hubby TOGETHER smoke about 2 packs a day EACH (ouch)...so here in WI cigarettes average around $4.50 A PACK...sooooooo they are spending EIGHTEEN DOLLARS A DAY on smoking...and a whoppingwait for it.....$558.00 A MONTH....on cigarettes!!!omg...that totally blows me away...anyway, soooooooooo very happy that I do not have to do that any more...what a blessing and a relief. If I were still smoking, I figured I would be spending about $180 a MONTH...I can hardly wrap my brain around those figures these days....for something like THAT!and that would be the least of my WORRIES!!! Cigarettes are killers and surely will kill you if you continue to smoke....I IMPLORE you to lay them down and walk away and start truly living...because as you keep the quit you begin to realize soooooooo many things you have missed out on, so many things you can and want to do now---it is a beautiful life lived smokefree...I PROMISE!....it gets a tinchy-bit better, then better still--then mmmmmm I am doing this....and THEN...wow HOW could I have smoked in the first place...I would love to hear what you all did today....as nonsmokers!...(infinitely more interesting)...even if it IS slept for an extra half an hour instead of hanging out in the garage!well....this morning...I biked (indoor) on this lovely trainer I have ($$$ well spent on equipment versus cigs)--Jacob Lilly and I ate our usual big ole breakfast of eggs, oatmeal, oranges and farm fresh milk...sigh...( when I smoked I would make breakfast for THEM,stop smoking, and while they ate it go out and smoke and drink coffee---sigh, so unhealthy AND...we have such a lovely time in the morning at breakfast...best time of the day!work/school...came home and made french toast and bacon for dinner--(I know that constitutes 2 breffix's, in one day, but who's counting!!!)...and Lilly and I baked--the now famous and craved-after applesauce/nut/raisen muffins and also a batch of choc chip cookies....(gluten free...shhhhhhhhhh--they cannot even tell)...My whole point is....as a nonsmoker I just engage in LIFE and those I love so very much more---when I smoked, cigarettes reigned supreme ever single time...oh the delays...and the NOT GOING as I would consciously and subconsiously just find myself not going because smoking would not be allowed--I KNOW I did that many, many times.These days there is health,quit smoking, life and energy to spare...(still trying to figure out how to put a couple more hours in a day, though)....Wishing you all a lovely smokefree day....and KTQ!!! It and especially YOU are soooooo worth it...xoxoxoxoxokatiemNot one puff: 4Y 10M 3W 2D 12H 42Mns $-Saved to date: $11484.82...49,493
