No more smoking!!!

Finally got up the courage to give up smoking, and I am so excited. Will give me a lot more money to throw at my outstanding overdrafts, and should get me debt free sooner. Just got to stick to it now. Fingers crossed. :j

Congratulations!!
I'm an ex-smoker of 13 years (gave up at 21

) and it was the best thing I ever did so I feel dead chuffed you've decided to give up!

Good for you

Not only saving money but your health should improve, and you wont be choking all your mates to death

Good luck

there's a "moneysavers don't smoke" thread on the health sub-board of families relationships etc. You'll get loads of support there from other money savers doing the same thing. I really respect you for giving up, I have never smoked but I always think about how hard it would be for me to give up eating chocolate. I hope you crack it!

Thanks guys, thats so nice of all of you. I am really determined not to smoke again( a lot easier now you can smoke in pubs etc up here). Got a big shock when I worked out how much money i was spending a year, and how I could pay off my debts quicker. Yay

We believe in you! I have never smoked so I will not know the pain you'll go through, but I have seen how it ravishes a person (both physically & fiscally). You can try getting something like the Mortgage pig, like a little container & put the £5 your packet of cigarettes would have cost into it & at the end of the month count the fivers & put it towards your debt, or something nice for yourself. We'll all support you 100%! Good Luck! I'm so proud.
