   Celebrate Being Free!!

We're looking to get 1,000,000 unsmoked cigarettes dumped into this fire. Post your numbers and I will tally them up throughout the night. Let's see how many we can get!!
  
                                    
       
        
          This is how to do your calculations for your unsmoked. 100 Days, and you were smoking a pack a day(20 cigarettes) You would have 100 X 20 = 2,000 unsmoked cigarettes to throw in the fire! If you need math help let me know!!      
        
         
                                                                                     
              
               
                 Fire burns til Sunday at midnight.

Today is 265 days of freedom for me ! That equals 265 packs of cigarettes or 5,300 cigarettes to burn in the bonfire !

I have saved  $1,232.00 and I live in a state where cigarettes are cheaper then many other states . ( $4.65 a pack ) for those of you living in states like NY the savings would be even higher !

Here goes tossed in.....5,300  sickerettes into the fire .....burn baby burn !

About the Author
I am 51 yrs old and live in the Greater Cleveland area. I started smoking at a young age. I think it was more peer pressure at that time and just a few cigarettes a day until i became "LEGAL" to smoke. I then started smoking a pack or more a day, using stress as my excuse to smoke more. In reality, I realized after i quit smoking that there is no excuses for smoking. I am approaching 4 yrs next month, but I still have to work to protect my quit. I am here on Ex faithfully helping others and in return helps me. We call it here on Ex "Collateral Kindness" here is a link to my blog, 1 yr later that explained my trials in the the beginning of my quit. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/ShawnP-blog/2013/03/14/one-year-later
