Niks,
Sorry, but listen to yourself. Or rather, that voice in your head!
I will apply your logic to my experience:
Feb-April 1st 3 months of my quit. Money saved approx �600-700
My 'rewards' consisted of several visits to the local garden centre, stocking up my garden with beautiful plants and emptying my wallet.
As I only have a small garden, by early May it was full! No more room!
So Niks, what did I do? Did I say to Mrs Ed, 'Hmm I have a problem here. The garden is full of plants and I can no longer reward myself. While you're at the shops, can you get me a couple of packs of Silk Cut, because it's pointless carrying on without a reward'
OR .. did I think 'Well that's the garden looking beautiful, now what else did I want.. a digital camera, new coat, extra holiday, new car, new handbag for Mrs Ed (she only has 29 of these), etc, etc, etc...??
Niks, by my reckoning, you will save over �2,500 a year by not smoking.
While you sit on that Cypriot beach, make a list of all the rewards you would like. And if you can't think of anything, send the money to me. Your reward will be making a Quit buddy very happy
Mr Ed ;p
