Good Idea, treat yourself to a little 'something' will also let you see how much extra cash you can now spend on yourself now you DON'T SMOKE. I am saving the money I used to spend in the back pocket of my filofax and it is now bulging. I am going to the Gretna Outlet Village next weekend and I am gonna spend! spend! spend! new clothes, new gadgets, who know's what I will buy, but it's nice knowing that I will see something for the money I USED TO WASTE on cigarettes. My average smoking bill was between £50 - £70 a week :eek: Ridiculous and such a waste. Well no more! I am in this for the long haul and choose how bad I feel I will not smoke again. Neither will you. I have had some really bad days when I have been so depressed with it I wanted to go to sleep till it was all over with. Of course, you can't do that. But days are passing and my mind and body are getting used to it. You will get there. Buy yourself a pressie and keep smiling! You are doing what thousands of people fail to do every year. You will be a success and don't you think that will feel good at the end of the day?

You can tell by my posts today that I am feeling good :j I sure hope I feel so positive tomorrow LOL :A

LOVINGITIFITSABARGAIN- keep going sweety. Try and stay possitive and you deffinatly can do it. We are all in this together. Having you and EMBER doing this with me has been a great help. Im so glad we are all here to help eachother and just to know that im not the only one feeling this helps. And you dont appear to have been negative so dont worry about that. If you read back over the old posts we have all had a few days of huge struggle. Am here for you sweety. Keep that (Fag Free) chin up!!

Definatly buy a fake cigarette!

Thinking of you honey, sez x

In true money saving style could you not ask around your friends, buy or download a version of the hypnotherapy instead of paying someone? Ive heard that people can charge a huge amount of money for this session. Just thought it may be better to "DIY" as it were. Perhaps this may be better as you would have something to play again if you struggled.

Dont know, just a thought? Let us know how you get on, and good luck

Well Sez, re hypnotherapy, this is a good suggestion, but one I've explored before - I have never been able to find a suitable tape (have bought 2 or 3 of them in the past), as most of them are American based, and use a transparently unconvincing formula which wouldn't persuade anyone to quit anything! Probably because they're paranoid about some nutter suing them because 'the tape drove them mad/had to be hospitalised' etc, I'm sure you get the drift of this. And anyway, as far as I'm concerned (and no offence meant to US citizens) us and America really are 'two countries divided by one language'!

Seriously though, thanks for an excellent suggestion, very welcome and I will have another look at the products on offer for this purpose.
