Tootin' My Own Horn - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

sassitabbi · 03-23-2006, 05:54 PM

I am smokefree one month, three weeks, one day and eleven hours now..Life saved five days, thirteen hours. Money saved is $320.93 and it's in an ING account drawing interest instead of going up in smoke..By the time I am celebrating my one year anniverasry I will have saved approximately $2184.00. That should be enough for a blowout celebration, or maybe a mini cruise, or a shopping spree or just keep adding to it to leave for my kids and grandkids. Maybe that would help make up for some of the years smoking has deprived from my life.

Well done, Sassitabbi!

I'm only on my 3rd consecutive day smoke-free, 5 days of trying total...and I was just thinking this morning, I just saved $21.24.

Way to go, keep up the good work. I'm still looking just at today, right now about 20ish minutes at a time!!!

My partner is a spendthrift but we are both smokers. How happy he would be to save $32 in a nine day period! Will have to entice him to the idea. Nothing more he loves than saving money... It's just going to have to work!!

I didn't think about the money thing. Let's see.

5 days = $46.70 saved for me.
6 days = $56.04 for hubby.
Total: = $102.74 WOW.

It adds up quickly, no?

Keep up the good work.
I am now Three months, three weeks, three days, 13 hours, 15 minutes and 28 seconds smoke free. That's 4662 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,282.07. Life saved: 2 weeks, 2 days, 4 hours, 30 minutes.

At my one year anniversary, I'll have saved $3650.00!!! WOW!
That, of course, is a low ball amount. Cigarettes have gone up in the past few months since I quit smoking! I smell a trip to Israel coming up!

Shalom!

If I put my cigarette money aside, in less than 1 month we will have saved enough money to buy a new mattress and box spring (something that is well needed).
