It’s great isn’t it. I’ve got savings for the first time in so long. It’s so motivating to keep on track.

It’s funny, I’ve not saved it, I’ve spent it along the way, don’t know how I afforded to smoke 🤣🤣🤣🤣

How’s the job going? Still enjoying it? xx

[RoisinO1 Administrator 3 Years Smoke Free in reply to Monica1969]

Job is going grand, enjoying and loving it, just done 6 days in a row, 13:00 to 18:00 - the tea shift which is alot less pressure than the morning shift with breakfast, soup and dinner meals. Some weather to be stuck in a kitchen but just have to get on with it, sweating buckets but on a plus side, loosing a few pounds!! Off now till Thursday so going to enjoy this heatwave, hasn't rained here in Ireland for 5 weeks Water hose ban in place since last Friday, only in Ireland

Oh I’m so glad you’re enjoying it, as for the heat in the kitchen, you’ll reap the benefits come October onwards lol

Yeah I think it was end of May it last rained here, shocking for us isn’t it?!

We’ve no water ban yet but I bet we will soon although they reckon it’s gonna rain next week 🤗

You’re a sweet, sweet soul!!! It’s been a huge week, which feels like a year, but I came to the realisation smoking didn’t help, so back to day 1, but have learnt a lot about me and my coping mechanisms. I was so pleased to read your post!!! Made my day, keep going, a lot of respect for you!! Good work xx

You know what hun, we all make mistakes, it’s learning from them that makes the difference.

I know Monica ..here in USA cigarrets are getting super expensive specially up north someone told me it’s $ 12 a pack 😱. But no worries you did enjoyed those years. I wished we knew quitting is not that difficult if you stay strong first days .

..It’s all in the past We were

victims of tobacco company’s .

All I can say is they should at least pay for any nicotine replacement people need after quitting ..I hope deep in my heart they pay one day for something .The truth is we are liberated and that makes us winners ! ..50 day is super !!!!💕

[Monica1969 1 Year Smoke Free in reply to Hidden]

They cost approx £10 a pack here in the UK, absolute robbery, plus they put all these adverts for cancer and premature babies all over them but they won’t ban them because they earn so much from smokers hence quitters still pay but via NRT.

We are victims in more ways than one, but no more for me, I’m sticking a middle finger up to the fat greedy politicians xx

Wonderful, Monica! Congratulations! Today is my week 7. Here in Portugal cigarettes are a little less expensive than in the UK, but still... I've saved 400 euros, as I smoked 1 and 1/2 pack a a day...

Congratulations again!
