Nine Years

Today marks nine years tobacco-free. And I haven't picked up the vaping habit either. There are still times I miss smoking, but I don't miss being addicted to nicotine or the smell of cigarette smoke on my clothes, in my car, and in my house. I certainly don't miss the expense. Figuring 1.5 packs per day and an average of $6 a pack, that comes to about $30,000 I didn't see go up in smoke. One downside was I ballooned up to 210 pounds at one point, but through a better diet and exercise I've settled into a much healthier 185. I'm glad I've stuck with it.
