Money is a good motivator, true, but using it as your primary motivation to quit smoking is ultimately futile in my experience. There are always going to be times when you have excess cash and the temptation to offload some of it can be too great.
I've been to the pub several times since i quit and it was no problem at all. Even being surrounded by smokers at work is only mildly annoying. (You don't realise just how much cigerette smoke stinks until you quit!) All in all, i am very surprised at how easy it is for me to resist the temptation. The only time i even got close was just after i dented my car and that is sort of understandable.
Trying to stay calm in instances that would otherwise not bother me at all is the problem i am facing. Thanks for you support guys and gals.
