good for you Liz - I can't get my head round it at the moment - half of me wants to stop and half of me doesn't. I wish you and OH loads of luck - don't let him beat you lol and if he won't let you beat him, then you can both be stubborn as mules and beat the fags! Maz. XX |

Thanks for the replies and good wishes. Sorry not to have replied before - been trying to get some sleep today. Am at work again tonight. Still not had a ciggie - and I am determined NOT to start again and as hubby has quit too - will not let him have the satisfation of seeing me smoke again. I admire people that have the will power to give up without any help. I feel I needed some help and the patches seem to help somewhat. We are saving up the money and are talking about ways to enjoy all our new found wealth next year - maybe a good holiday or something. Thanks again. Liz |

Hi again Jax - you have a good reason there. Just think of the visit to your friends. Julie - I had smoked for 29 years - and am so detirmined to suceed. I opened a mini cash isa - and money saved will be going into that - and I can watch the money grow - and not be tempted. The patches seem to be doing the trick so far, and am trying to keep myself busy at work - especially around the times I would normally have lit up. Liz |
