Thank you kindly! I am so proud of myself today, especially since I had to sit up with a sick dog all night (better now after a visit to the vet) on my own, with my son's cigarettes just an arm's length away and I did not smoke. I just kept thinking 'here is an opportunity for growth!' and got through it. I have been fixating on the negative recently, that vulture on the bedpost has been very vocal. But I have given it the push and today I am two months smoke free. Absolutely agree that I have used cigarettes since I was 15 to stuff my feelings down, instead of getting angry I would smoke; instead of crying I would smoke, even celebrating deserved a smoke. And although I am doing this a day at a time, I need to take the long view learning to live without any mind altering drugs.

Today I have not smoked 1,708 cigarettes thereby saving £427.
