Since I quit smoking, I've come to realise just how much smoking was costing me!
At the beginning of my quit, I recognised that within my purse, I still had a ten-pound note from whenever I had last withdrawn a sum of money. Even though this isn't uncommon for me to have money, it made me think that normally this would have been spent without question on cigarettes, thats £70 a week and I'd have nothing to show for it.
I managed to keep this £10 note for nearly 4 weeks before spending it on something other than cigarettes I'm glad to report!
For me, I used this £10 note as a benchmark to keep focused during those difficult few weeks during the start of the program.
I'm now 4 weeks quit and going strong.
