I quit in January. Since that time, I have not smoked 8,240 cigarettes, which means I did not spend 432,600 colones on smokes. With the current exchange rate, that is about $865.

Congrats! You actually saved more than $1550. Imagine the healthcare costs later to treat your cancer.

puff.
yes i only use the healthy stuff these days, cannabis.
it's good for you.
alcohol destroys people, so do cigarettes.
occasionally a gin and tonic wont hurt but 2 pints a day is overboard.

thanks pal
you can do it if you want to!
the thing that helped me last year was getting into the gym 6-7 days a week. took my mind off it, ate healthier, took up a few other activities(fishing, hiking, camping) -- really just stay busy and forget about that shit for the first few weeks of quitting, after that it's super easy believe it or not.

I'm trying Spankie. I have cut down from a can a day to one every two or three days. Stressful does not help the cause any for me.

keep it up. i know i got to a point where i was just honestly completely SICK of it all. i made my last pack of smokes last me a few days and i KNEW that last cigarette a year ago today would be the last. i planned it, and i executed. was sick of being unhealthy and prone to diseases and unhealthy shit that comes with tobacco use.
the first 2 months or so is the roughest i'll say. if you can get past that initial phase you're good.
