congrats everyone!

I kinda want to buy the Carr book out of interest. A friend of mine gave up after reading it too

On 3rd April It will have been a year of nonsmoking for me! (well except for 1 drunken night in England at my sisters )

I will do that too. I will finish doing something and think "ooh I'll have a fag now" and then remember I can't

Great going Wendy!!

You have proved to yourself that you can do it now. So the next time will be even easier.

How much have you saved now - or have you spent it on something lovely??

I spent all the money I had saved on the dentist Typical that when I have spare cash something happens and I have a bill to pay

Cigs are about $11 per packet, and I would smoke one pack a day. So I have saved $11 x 29 - or $319

Don't worry - it took me 6 months of cutting down before I gave up for good. Went from 40 a day to 10 a day and from full fat to low fat, (low tar). Then I gave up and it wasn't such a wrench.

What a bummer. That sort of thing always happens to me too. Never mind, you are still better off as you would have to have paid the dentist anyway.

$319 x 12 = $3828 in a year..... lovely new car.... mmmmm.

It's called 'the easy way to stop smoking' and you should be able to find the book in any large book store. http://books.google.com.au/books?id=...r-navigational http://www.allencarr.com.au/
