:)Hi guys, Don't come on much now only to view posts to see how everyone is doing, but recently started posting again to encourage a friend I introduced to the forum. I wanted to encourage her and give her as much support as possible to help through the hard days at the beginining. Which I know definately give me the best start possible.
I reached 10 months today and would like to thank everyone for all the support I have received, At the start of my quit as well as all the support I received I decided to start a "Cash for Ash"for the 1st year which I put £4.00 a day in, and below is a list of my treats to keep me motivated..
White/Gold Bracelet £90.00 ... Floral Designer Top £35.00
We Will Rock U Tickets £40.00 ... Quadrophina Tickets £28.00
Kaz, huge congratulations on 10 months wow what a fabulous achievemnt and hopefully I will be there in August.
Love the list, I have one too. Have treated myself to things I would never normally buy as they were too expensive.
1 pair of gorgeous boots..£120.00
Fab jacket £165.00
Gloves £51.00
All are gorgeous and I am getting the greatest of pleasures wearing stuff that normally I would consider out of my price range. Normaly clothes are the cheap variety now as I have put on sooo much weight....
Well done again and it is looking up to people like you that keeps me going.
Great to see you are enjoying the money u saved throwing away on cigs just like me... I think when I get to 1 year will carry on but with £2 just cos its been so great to treat myself instead of wasting my money.... And its a good excuse ha ha .... Keep going strong, You are doing brilliant. Its well worth the effort.. Kaz x
Hey Kaz, well done getting to your 10 month milestone! You mad march quitters have done great!! We're all going to flood that Penthouse very soon! Great job you!
Thanx Bellablue, I am right behind you now. Seemed so far away a few months ago. I cant believe I got through Christmas & New Year to be honest even after quitting in March.... But now feel ready for anything.....
Congratulations on your fantastic quit also... See ya in Penthouse very soon Kaz
Hey Kaz I thought I would answer the post you left me on the other thread on here.
Wow! all that from 10 months not smoking, a big congratulations on 10 months absolutely brilliant.
Let's see what have I bought myself since I stopped smoking.
2 packets of extra strong mints,
4 bottles of Fanta
A packet of Whethers originals
Some apples and some oranges
Well I haven't been working have I? but I tell you this as soon as I start working again which looks like tomorrow I'll save up my money from not smoking and buy myself a 42" HDTV so there.
Ha ha Jack, U have made me laugh with your list, but seriously u would have found the money to buy cigs so yeah when u are working take the money out u would have spent on cigs then put it towards that tv....
Thanx for your support, it still helps even at 10 months, cos I cant get take this for granted, or the demons will strike... Kaz x x
Hi Karen and other 6+ Month quitters recently come out from the woodwork
I've only been on this site for just short of 3 months and thought that there weren't many 6 month + folk about............... there's been the usual members who I recall from when I signed up, but lately there have been so many more coming forward as their year and move into the Penthouse approaches and it's been great to see the numbers suddenly swell.
Hi Pol, The reason I came out of woodwork ha ha as u say is cos I introduced my friend Sharon to the site and I wanted to give her support and advice as I remembered how much it helped me at the start. It is very addictive this forum, and I spent alot of time on the first 6 months. I still came on to see how people were getting on, but didnt post, as if your not careful takes over your life... Which it did at first, but not complaining cos if it wasnt for this forum wouldnt be where I am today....
Great to see so many newbies doing so well...
Hope u dont want me to climb back into the wood work Kaz
Well cheers Pol I will now stick around and then climb into the Penthouse... Cant promise it will be quietly though, cos I still cant believe am at 10 months let alone thinking of 1 whole year ha ha Kaz
Good then thats me and U looking forward to a big party.... I will save u a very nice spot, because u will deserve it... Heres to the next 2 months going very quick ha ha :p

You are correct we would find the money somehow for cigarettes.
Don't disappear and I'll let you know when I have bought my HDTV.
