Yes! You have made it through the toughest part! My advice would be to sock away the dough not spent on cigs - keep it separate. I didn't and it just kind of got absorbed into the regular budget. And you should get to use that $ for rewarding type things for a while.

I'm so excited for you!! Freedom is yours, your life is going to greatly improve. Being an addict sucked.

Remember, post often, we've all been there and it is helpful to be with likeminded people in times like this. I felt a bit isolated in the early time of my quit, but the boards helped me through that.

Keep up the great work!!

That's $33.00  that you would of scrounged up some how to pay for your smokes by digging the change out of your pockets, car or purse, get $5.00 less gas, cheaper bottle of wine, ect, somehow you would of came up with the money. I say give it a couple of weeks and you will have a problem holding up your pants with all that loose change in your pockets and have a 2 wheeler to haul your purse around! 

 

Congratulations on 4 days!

4 days, being strong Michelle!! Agree, when you find your dosh, spend some on something wonderful that you wouldn't have done before. A mag, a scented candle cause your sense of smell is sooooo in the post any moment!!!

 

Love it  :D .  For all the times it feels hard remember this feeling of euphoria, not because it will be hard but so you can keep balance in your head. The excitement of seeing how wonderful the first really deep breath will feel, and when your sense of smell starts to alert you to rain...oh it was all so amazing Michelle and it will be for you too.  That's the difference of being on a board I think, the balance of good with bad and the good over shadows it for most, 100%.

That's a great idea; set up an allotment from your pay to get put into it's own "quit account".  I wish I would have thought of that when I quit.  That is a great idea.

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.
