Morning everyone..... thank you advise and welcoming me to this fantastic site. ATM all im thinking is the amount of money im going tot be saving and how much i have spent over the years is frieghtening and is spuring me on.. Happy Friday..
Soph do you know there are apps you can download which count up the money for you? It's an amazing reminder. For iPad/iPhone the best one is My Last cigarette, and for android the best one is Stop Smoking Light
I have a few apps to help me and i have also made a chart which i keep on my desk whihc tells me how my health has improved and how much i have roughly saved.
Morning Jilly, Sophloch, and everyone. I think my favorite thing about not smoking is not smelling of an ashtray anymore, but the list could be endless !!
Have a possative smoke free day everyone, keep smiling,
I think it is the money for me too. Just can't believe how much I have wasted imagine how much we have ALL wasted between us!!!! We could have bought a tropical island somewhere lol! Have a good day x
Mine is being able to smell things properly for the first time in absolutely years.It's just brilliant to smell things like they should smell rather than a,watered down version.Happy Friday all.H x
Hi Jilly and everyone
Mine is my skin currently. I have always thought I had good skin but since stopping the colour has become more even and the lines that had formed around my mouth have faded a lot. The dark rings under my eyes have lessened too.
What's really nice is the compliments I have had... Not bad at 57!
My favourite thing about not smoking is that I don't have to go out into my back garden which is surrounded by trees and has no light. I never really could enjoy night time smoking because I was too jumpy and thought I was going to be attacked and murdered at any second (yet I still viewed smoking as more important than my safety)
Mouth feels cleaner, breath is fresher, sense of smell is more acute. Just the freedom of not having to buy the damn things, and of course, more money in my wallet. Also, the fact that my dogs are the only ones puffing these days when we come back from our walk, must be a plus & not "having" to stand outside during a thunderstorm is good too. I can hardly believe that I ever thought that was actually reasonable behaviour .....
Hi ya Polly, its lovely to meet you and a big warm welcome to this lovely quit site gal
Yes, I know just what you mean about 'that' smell in your car I spent about £20.00 on stuff to clean my van, and I tell you, it was well worth it Polly
