Hi Maxine,
I agree with Caz, you most certainly have to be ready to quit, you will know when it. Its been 17 months now and I miss my smelly friend too on times. Stressful times are particularly not good, but each one that passes, I pat myself on the back and think "I made it without smoking".
I did save my money, putting it away every day at the beginning. Resulting in the purchase of several new electrical items, rather than buy secondhand, a real treat. Still putting away money when I remember, for my next treat.
Caz, you are doing so well, not been on for a while. Keep going, keep strong.
Mazine, when you make that decision to start, you will get lots of support from everyone on here. Good luck
Jane xx
