I take a bath with Epsom Salts in my Garden

 

a nice long soak with cocktail and then a vigorous scrub rub a dub with brushes and loofah and pumice stone.

 

Then a nice shower inside for a rinse.

Sometimes, I am so relaxed, I end up in Dreamland.

but, sometimes I will rally

and I pick out something dressy to wear out for a few cocktails,

smiling and a little dreamy from such a nice beautification.

 

For these special rewards, I often start out at a bar where I don't know anybody and chat with lovely strangers.

Later, strolling to my local.

unless I am being good to myself in a smart way...then I take myself Home.

wow, you wouldn't pull that in england lol, too cold!

 

I'm a mum, baths are no longer a relaxing affair and more likely to see a kid stripping to join haha, showers all the way for now.

 

I like to paint my nails sparkly silver. I do so love a little bling here and there and I feel better for it.  If I'm just a little sad, I put mascara and eyeliner on, even if I'm just home...makes me feel special :) A couple of wines when the kids are asleep are good too.

I spend more money on food now...because i eat a lot of fruit and veggies....healthy food is more expensive. 

Also, my gym membership is quite expensive because it's not just a gym it's a fitness program...so it's a bit more.  Still and all..less than what I used to spend killing myself smoking those damn cigarettes.

Yep, bath person over here.... Well, technically, I don't even have a shower fitted, so not much of a choice, lol... But I do have a big ol' Steel roll top - takes an age to fill, but once it's done I can submerge completely... Sometimes I see how long I can hold my breath for (a lot longer than when I was a smoker, I assure you!)...

 

Yes, I am sad, lol.

 

And just 'treated' myself to a beer while watching an old DVD... Heaven for me - I am easily pleased, lol ;)

Nothing better Nancy!

Except audibles.

 

For me, I have spent sadly a lot more than I have saved.

Mainly on the eye surgery (love not wearing contacts) & the crowns (less impressed how those turned out).

Oh, I think the crowns are lovely....such a beautiful smile!  I just got brave enough to go back to the dentist in the last couple of weeks...

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.
