Well done kwitta!

[nsd_user663_18145]

well done you

thats a great positive post

so what you going to treat yourself with all the money you are saving?

[nsd_user663_44835]

money

well carol, i have started sticking it away in an envelope each week! by the end of this year i will have £1050 in it, which will pay for next years holiday!!!!

then i'll continue to do that until I get to the time i am going away and that will be my spending money!!! Can't wait to go on holiday and be able to say i'm there because I haven't smoked!!!

thats great to hear

where are you planning on going

and just think you wont be worrying about the flight and will you be able to go such and such long without smoking or even trying to find somewhere to smoke :eek:

you can just sit back and enjoy

[nsd_user663_44835]

well we're trying malta this year for first time so might go back if it's good! either that or corfu (made some mates out there now).

Yeah, i won't need to dash off the plane and rush through customs, desperate for a fag! i won't need to spend a lot of my spending money on cheap ciggies, i can buy ice cream instead woohoo!!!!

and i won't even had made a dent in my bank account as the money i'm using to pay for it all would have been money that wouldn't have been there as I'd used it for buying ciggies all year!! yes, it makes sense to me .......

'hope to continue to the end of the first month'? No hope needed. Of course you will!

Well done Kwitta, you're doing great.

Well done Stuart - you've done really well ........ !!! Love your idea for putting your money away and having a holiday ....... it's really good idea bcs you won't even miss it and will gain so much from it! I'm still off though God know how some days with my pre-pubescent child who is driving me to distraction with her horrendous attitude of late. It would be so, so easy to meet up with Mr Nick-o-Teen but he ain't going to win. I am just going to breathe deeply and remember what I've achieved. #hopefully ...........

[nsd_user663_44835]

That is so good to hear Carole! I'm glad you're winning the fight with that wee scamp! Nick, I'm talking about here

It's the weekends i am more concerned about as I have a regular structure to my week, i know exactly what's happening and I can factor in NOT smoking into it (we Taureans love our routine and order). Weekends can throw you as you go out to dinner, drinks or just hang with mates, more opportunity to just light up, especially when all your mates AND partner seem to smoke!!!

Still, if it was so easy to give up ..... who'd be smoking, right?

[nsd_user663_44903]

Hey - smoke free mateys! Glad to see you still posting Kwitta - I only seem to see you and Clare141 around now from our original gang? Wonder what's happened to the rest? Hope they haven't fallen off the wagon ....

Me still off and feeling so much better. Had a bit of insomnia and waking up at silly o'clock but I can live with that. Bit of an outcrop of spots which I never, ever have but on the plus side - smell fantastic; teeth so much whiter and oodles of energy!

Bit of a milestone coming up on Tuesday too! 3 whole weeks off and entering week 4 - I know I've a challenge coming up next Sat evening when I am going out with friends for drinks for birthday celebrations! Most smoke but I am determined, (even in drink) not to have even one puff ....... I can't get to nearly a month and then fail - I would have to poke myself in the eye with something as a punishment! Other than that, couple of 'habitual' longings now and then associated with my old smoking life but that's it. Smoking is over. For ever! Oh yes and the possibility of seeing my daughter grow up is also an inspiration even if she does drive me potty at times!

See you later dudes!

[nsd_user663_45836]

Me too

3 weeks coming up... WOO HOO

As one of the March Hares pointed out we actually quit' last month'

Well done us

[nsd_user663_44835]

Hey carole, good to see you too, although I haven't seen Clare about. I think most of the originals are over in the march hares and maybe contain all their posts there? don't quote me obviously lol

Yeah, 3 FULL weeks, how good are we huh? and yeah, i took a bit of a skin condition too .... just told myself it's all the badness coming out me!!!

As for next Saturday, don't even think about it or if you must, remind yourself how stinking they are all going to be when they wake up on sunday and smell their clothes .... eeeuuuuwwwwww!!!!

laterzzzzzz:cool:
