After all....what you are achieving is flippin marvelous....and deserves treats....

Well not a ridgy didge newbie now... my first month anniversay was lost in the horror that was my christmas from hell. I hadn't even realised until Jillar noticed and gave me a not.

Since month 2, I buy myself a new t shirt each monthly anniversary with variations of NOPE on the front, so far I have one in a baseball style, one in Morse code, one in binary and not sure the next one will be yet but I better make a decision soon... I have also bought a laptop and paid for the kids camp.

I'm buying a book that teaches one how to make Kumihimo braided necklaces.  I can learn a new craft that I've been wanting to try for a long time, and as a special bonus, I get to keep my hands busy.

T-Shirts are a cool idea :)

I recommend this one next, if you can find it online?

You could just have N.O.P.E. printed below the image because no one you know would be able to read what the smoke signal actually says anyway - lol.

Go you, you will definitely keep tour hands busy. I make Kumihimo bracelets, I love them so therapeutic also moved onto beaded ones,  you'll love it ?

My reward for my first month quit was a pizza party for my family.  We all love pizza and they had put up so much with my smoking over the years.  With the reason for the pizza everybody, especially the grandchildren, had a great time, followed up with a family movie without me having to step outside several times during the showing.  Cannot tell you how happy that made me.

Nothing really out pf the ordinary EXCEPT when i buy stuff i do not need, I can at least now use the excuse, "Well at least I am not burning money anymore". Gyod now if i quit drinking so much soda, God knows what i could afford.

 

And about lipstick -

MrTitwank probably is really happy.

Rewards… hmm..

New hot water tank $1000. New gutter for the back of the house $350.  Much-needed dental work $1200(just for starters)

All this, just in the last month.

 

There goes my 65 inch LCD LOL.

It’s all good though. At least I’m not smoking.

Octain -

yeah funny how that works. We think, "alright, extra money, time for a little fun" but then life nudges it's stupid ass in the way and there goes the spending cash.

Yep. It is what it is. I’d have to get a new tank and a new gutter anyway so… There’s that.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
