I almost missed it. That’s how little I think about smoking these days. I haven’t used a tracker, so I don’t know exactly how much money I’ve saved, I also always used to lie about how much I smoked, but at least 4 and often 6 packets a week at £8.00 or £9.00 a packet is at least £1800.00 .Lot of money, which is why I can afford the fancy 2 night break in the New Forest that I am going to tomorrow. And as I eat fancy dinners and indulge in a facial, I will not think for one moment that I don’t deserve it.
My health is better, my skin and hair look great. I smell delicious and my husband really loves me, and there is plenty of me to love!
I thought I was the most addicted smoker in the world, I had so many failed attempts behind me. I thought I would die with a fag in my hand.
Best of all is the freedom from self disgust and feeling like a failure, and thinking all the time about smoking, when I could have one, what people thought of me, do I smell of it, have I got cancer or heart disease or Copd or intermittent claudication yet. Bleurgh it was horrible.

Hello bestie. Fab time in the new forest. Cost a fortune, don’t care! So important to mark it, I think or we might forget how hard it was. And it really was.
Best of luck with the sale , big changes afoot, bet you wouldn’t have done it if you hadn’t stopped smoking, you would have been too busy drugging yourself!
