5 hours Later

5 hours after my first post, and 15 hours since my last smoke the cravings are getting to the point that nearly stops my efforts. I am using this blog as a method to hopefully continue to resist the urge to light up. I am going to share the picture that I use to remind myself why I am quitting.

This is a VW Touareg 2. It is in in basic mode close to 40,000 dollars and with the features I have added its over 50,000. I need to save every cent I can. This is my motivation and so far its working!

The Decision to quit

Last night I was pricing cars, and realized that all that money I was spending on cigarettes could be saved as a down payment if i just quit. I added up the amount of money I was spending every day and worked out to be over 3600 dollars a year. That's when I said enough is enough and set a time, being midnight to have my last smoke ever. It has now been twelve hours, and I am going strong but it is hard. I keep looking at the picture of the car I want and reminding myself that if I save the money I can add the rims too! Keep your fingers crossed for me, this is one of the hardest things I have done in my life, and it will be the fourth time I have tried.
