@GonSo Well done , Its fabulous when the money starts mounting up … I bought my Ted when I saved up enough when I Quit He costs me £500 Money well spent

@Cbdave I don’t know how anyone can afford to smoke in Australia, they are the expensive in the world

NOPE

Love this positive reinforcement, @Rockangel! The other thing I do when I hear the siren song of temptation is to review the list of lies that our addict brains use to trick us into thinking that smoking is okay. Whoppers like, "Just one won't hurt..." or "I'm only hurting myself..." John Polito wrote a great essay about them. Excerpts here:

I love this - quitting smoking reduces financial stress. Yet another wonderful up-side of a smoke free life. Congrats @GonSo!

NOPE

Congratulations!! I am close to two months. But also very important milestone today is that I saved 750 euro's since I quit! December was since a long time not financially stressful.

NOPE!

I was 11, no deep reason for smoking. Both parents smoked, all my older siblings smoked. Totally accepted in those days. I eventually became a serial quitter, so I guess a desire to quit was there. Probably wanted a magic pill that doesn't exist. I did it all - from hypnosis to Chantix - to everything in between. Always waited for the Big Excuse to go back to smoking. That excuse always comes b/c life stinks sometimes. I finally did it with unwavering determination, an extremely supportive husband and a fabulous online support group. I'm happy, proud and pretty darn healthy for an old lady. I do lots of classes at the YMCA that I would have never been able to do if I smoked. I also walk a lot. I'm smart enough to know that a smoking related disease could still get me, but that doesn't take up any space in my mind. I will forever stay vigilant. N.O.P.E.

I'm 5 months, 4 days. quit smoking. NOPE!

Breathe in deeply and out.... relax your shoulders sit back in chair. Now, really get down to the root of the problem. Peel away each layer like a banana. dig deep. In 3 days the worst will be mostly over. Smoking does nothing for me except deplete my funds, and it can be that way for u too. Keep polsitive. u can do this...! Thanks, to the one who posted this JIF I changed the size. I hope that is fine.
