Saving the dollars

Good morning all day 53 for me today still having pangs of mr nicotine but managing to get through it just like to share some helpful hints to the newbies that got me through the first few weeks .First of all I stopped doing the weekly shop as every night I went to the supermarket and spent $20 the amount it would cost me for a packet of cigarettes Secondly each night I would go to bed and read these blogs as they helped immensely just before I nodded off I transfer $20 in to my smoking account nice to watch it grow happy days

SandyDee, what a great achievement 53 days, and yes unfortunately even me at day 300 tomorrow I still have the pang of wanting a smoke, but it is very brief, but even smokers who haven't smoked for years will also tell you that they still have the occasional crave so don't be rough on yourself.
When you have a pang, put your mind in a different train of thought.
You can over ride it.

you forgot 3rd spending the money I saved after 100 days on something I didn't need , now I want to put the cash back. but hey I can at least hold what I bought and its not going up in smoke.
well done on the 53 days its good and yeah I still get the thought of a smoke but I can just know it is a thought and its only a thought unless followed by an action.
