Extra pleased with my Quit as.......................


Recommended Posts

Posted

..........yesterday, my car battery died.. well.... as long as my car was started and run daily, or every other day at the worst, it would JUST hold a charge...

 

Given it was 4.5 years old, I wasn't disappointed, BUT as today is P day, informed the mechanic that he'd have to come back today, to which he offered a 10 day account!!!!

 

So, not only did I get my battery yesterday, but the BEST part is that today, I can actually PAY for it!!!!! and still have money left over!!!! 

 

As a smoker, my fortnightly 'cigi money' was MORE than the cost of a new battery, ($160) so it's put EVERYTHING in better perspective for me!!! (My pension is $898 p/ft)

 

NO MORE STRUGGLING and going without the bare NECESSITIES of life, just to feel ashamed and angry with myself!!!!!

 

WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!

Isn't it wonderful to be able to buy things that we actually need once we kick that disgusting addiction to the curb! I actually wonder how the heck I afforded it sometimes!

Good for you, isn't it great to be able to buy stuff we actually need, rather than buying those stupid smelly cigs!

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.
