Smoke free!
Six months ago today I had my last cigarette.
(well, the six month's depends on how you count - today is five months, 4 weeks - we gained two days in there somewhere...)
This puts me $2,300 in the black and my lungs that much closer to the pink.

Congratulations. For a non-smoker, it's hard to appreciate until you read those statistics. 6 miles of cigarettes? $52,000? Wow. That could buy a lot of cool geeky toys. Keep it up.
