It's been one whole month now that I haven't had a cigarette. YAY   :dance: :dance: :dance:

So, normally so far, I wouldn've spend $200 on smokes this month. ( I KNOW!!)
So I just went out and bought a bunch of glass eyes and mohair for my smoking money. Guilt free!!!
I think this is the best part about quitting, saving up and spending the cash!! LOL

Okay, so I just wanted to brag.

Thanks for reading.

Heather,

that is fantastic, hang in there, it might be tough going for awhile but healthwise it will be worth all the effort in the end, plus you'll have a big stash of bear supplies, good on you!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: and a big plus you'll get back your sense of smell, my husband gave it up about 12 years ago, and that was one of the main things he noticed, goodluck!!
hugs,
Denise.

bear_thumb Way to go!  bear_thumb

Your closets will be bursting with bear making goodies in no time!
All kinds of good reasons to quit smoking, eh?

Hmmm.... perhaps if I gave up all the chocolate I eat........... counting on fingers......... I'd have $200 at the end of the month too! Heather, you just may be an inspiration! Although I know smoking is a lot tougher to quit.... been there!

Good for you! You go girl!  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:

I tried giving up food but it seems it's the rest of the family that drive up the grocery bill and if I gave up food,I wouldn't have enough strength to make bears.Hmm,maybe I could invent a pill that filled you up while making you feel like you just ate whatever you wanted with hardly any calories and cost next to nothing.Now see,I'm hungry and that's what happens,I can't think straight.I'd end up with wonky looking bears with extra appendages or something..Must go find food......
