Morning everyone! Sorry haven't checked it for a few days, but you are all doing so well. You are all amazing and believe me, the worst is over. Happy Friday to all. XXX BC

well done guys!!!! Keep going! my meter says Three months, one week, 7 hours, 46 minutes and 33 seconds. 2483 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,117.39. Life saved: 1 week, 1 day, 14 hours, 55 minutes.

That's pretty good by the law of averages! Some people have to just try and try (like I did!) until they get there. So dont give up giving up. And well done to you all!! *sniff....you smell delicious! lol BC XXXXX

Hi Ladies, you are doing so well, I was a 40 a day man for about 40 years and I decided to quit, Nine and a half years now. the hardest part was buying the first set of patches because that was the cost of a weeks supply of cigs. I used the 24 hour patch as I found the 16 hour one was not so good, when I was tempted, I image a ash tray full of burnt Five Pound Notes! I also found that you must get rid of any ciggarettes or the temptation is there and a lot of smoking is habit, your hand goes to the cig packet without you knowing it. The money I have saved goes on Holidays and helps to pay my mortgatge, So keep hanging in there. If I can do it so can you James

Good luck to everyone who succeeds! Ali x ps I don't smoke so don't know how hard it is but I know you will all do it!!! x

thanks james we need the words of wisdom,you did so well,that,ll be us one day lol.xxxjoy

HI guys, hope you are all good. It was really odd last week, I had a day where i had a few really big cravings, first time for ages! Anyway I was a good girl, so my meter now says Three months, two weeks, 4 hours, 16 minutes and 37 seconds. 2654 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,194.50. Life saved: 1 week, 2 days, 5 hours, 10 minutes.

Hi Ladies, Don't forget Gray is trying tomorrow again to give up, which is difficult according to her previous messages, her OH is not. Good luck Gray and keep trying. Maybe instead just of counting days, count how much you have saved as well. James

Morning all and I continue to congratulate you. Wonderful news about Gray and she will know that we are all here for her. Happy Tuesday to all! XXX BC

Hi Joy how do you 'nudge' is it by adding a new message? James

Hi All... can i join you... I gave up two weeks and two days ago... from 30 a day to nothing... not one cigarette since! though am suffering at the moment... but shall get through it i hope ;))

Yes James, or even typing just the word 'Nudge' will do it.....and OUR EM...well done!!!! You will see how many people on this thread have persevered and done it, and if someone falls by the wayside, well they can start again:-) Do the Silk Quit thingy and you can track how much you are saving etc. XXX BC

Hi girls, Hope you are all keeping smoke free, think of all the ciggieTax your not paying and if you are working not having to go out in the cold Brrrrrr. James

Nudge!

To Margaret K. Don't think Do it, think of all the Tax you will not paying the goverment, also if you have children then they copy parents, if you smoke, then they will. do not forget about passive smoking. James
