Congratulations to everyone that's stayed smoke-free to the end!
You definitely deserve a treat. Use the Demotivator to work out how much you've saved! :j

Yup, am still stopped - have passed on my tobacco 'reserve supplies' to a family member who wasn't ready to go for it this year (which might result in a decent xmas pressie in return from said relative, who knows? :rotfl:).
Bit concerned about substituting one addiction for another - could not get through the day without my e-cig now - but will deal with that later.
Have noticed I can now smell people who smoke tailor-mades, and it's pretty awful.
Don't know if my own taste buds are more sensitive, but my lungs are definitely clearer - for the first time in years I can sleep flat on my back without choking, which is great!0 -
I feel the same Robin, but I'm happy with my e-cig for now, I will probably stop using that at some point, but not in the near future, I feel so much better being off the tabs, I swear my skin feels softer already lolDebt £30,823.48/£44,856.56 ~ 06/02/21 - 31.28% Paid OffMortgage (01/04/09 - 01/07/39)
